Brown leather strap, where to find a special one

[73Jazz]

Dear mates,

I have a special leather strap in my mind, which i try to find somewhere out there, you may have a hint
Where to find that, maybe in your country.

- It should have roundabout 8cm in width
- brown leather
- and some kind of pattern on it used on e.g. western riding, rodeo saddles, stitched or carved in

Knowing, that this might be a long shot, but i have to give it a try here
Thanks for any help i might receive
Cheers

This is nice - but very expensive (and it's German!)

Have a look at Minotaur. I clicked on an ad at the bottom the page here and they've got some lovely looking stuff between 25-42 Euros.

Thanks guys.
That richter strap is almost what i am looking for..but honestly..155GBP for a strap is sick, too sick
That was the reason why i spread my tentacles for an alternative to those.

That tan my hide guy makes a great work, very interesting and traditional.
I will have a look further on..ifi find one, i will keep you posted
Thanks so far for your inputs

I got a strap made by a guy in Wales or somewhere

Mine is a thin vintage style one but he also made them like the one you mention, he took down his site but I might still have his email somewhere, I was planning on getting another one from him

+1 for Minataur.

Got one for Christmas and it's great quality.

Good, supple leather, quality stitching, some nice embossing and comfy padding.
