• Padded for long-lasting comfort
• Long adjustment range, with options

A guitar strap for those who know how to put on a show.   Hand-built from thick leather cowhide* in our own workshop in rural Shropshire, England.  The design was inspired by legends of Welsh dragons just over the border to our west. The top pieces are individually cut out and connected to provide a texture as found on lizard skin, with free edges that move with the wearer.

The strap design is a full 3 inches wide (76mm) to spread the load of a heavy guitar or bass.   There is also a 1/8" thick (3mm) sports foam filler for added comfort in long gigs.   The strap has a standard interweave adjustment tailpiece with 8 slots, giving a long adjustment range.    Choose your preferred length in the options - see the Tech Spec below for details.  The pin holes are a standard 8mm (3/8") wide.  Add a note to your order if you require larger pin holes for strap locks.

On the back of the strap is tough nubuck leather, which will never crack or otherwise let you down. Nubuck is an expensive polished suede often used for boots.  It provides some grip, but won't grip your shirt when you want to change your guitar's angle.

The Dragon Skin straps are made to order.  Let us know if you need a different colour set to that shown in our online catalogue.  We'll see if we have the leather.
   
Perfect for all guitars and bass guitars, electric and acoustic.

About Natural Leather (Items marked NT or VT)

Natural leather (AKA vegetable-tanned leather) has been made in the traditional way dating back hundreds of years.  This artisan craft uses natural tannin-rich plant extracts such as from oak bark.  It produces the most luxurious leather, but is slow and expensive. Pinegrove's natural leather then goes through a softening process, where the leather is tumbled in rotating drums with organic waxes and oils. This also enhances the leather's natural grain.

The colours and textures available in natural leather are often limited, so we use other leathers too.  These are always high quality leather, and usually full-grain. Some have an applied finish which we cannot source in natural leather. Examples are mock-croc (cowhide debossed with a crocodile-skin effect), nubuck and some leathers with an antique/relic effect.
