Our guitar straps are hand-made in Devon, England by fifth generation leather crafting family, Heistercamp.

With tradition dating back to 1884, Nigel, Alaine, James and Craig pride themselves on making world class, premium quality guitar straps.

The leather and suede for each strap is carefully selected before it's run through a knife-press to create the components which will form your finished guitar strap. Each strap is stitched carefully around the edges before the holes are hand-punched. Then the final touch is a bespoke Effected signal icon is pressed into the leather.

We use offcuts leftover from the hides to create a leather Effected tag which comes with each strap. We then use remaining offcuts to create our Effected leather key fobs in an effort to avoid any waste.

Each guitar strap is made using either black or dark brown pull-up leather with colour matching suede lining and ochre stitching.

Key measurements:
Strap width is 3”
*Strap length is medium/48" (43"-56")
Feeder strap width is 1 ⅛ ”
8mm button holes

*The first number is the length of the strap when set in the middle of its available adjustment. The bracketed numbers show the range of length that is covered by the adjustment.

There is only one size available.

Our straps are hand made from full-grain leather. Please be aware that the hides contain natural creasing and markings. This creates depth and character to the straps and makes each item unique.

Cleaning: Use a slightly damp cloth to remove any dirt or stickiness. Avoid excess water. Gentle veg based soaps can be used but only sparingly.

Scratches: For little touch-ups use high quality leather dressing containing a dye (e.g. renovating polish) Rub in to minimise appearance of small scratches. We recommend you test a small patch first just in case!

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place ideally. Avoid extremes of temperature and water! Hanging it up straight can help avoid damage or bending.

Moisturise: Just as you would a new pair of leather shoes, we recommend wearing your strap in initially. If it starts to feel or look dry then use a good quality leather conditioner. However, avoid water and never speed up the drying process with a hair dryer or radiator. If your strap gets wet then simply hang it up at room temperature to dry.

And finally, we recommend your guitar strap stays out of direct sunlight!
