Bag Strap
I just bought what I'm hoping will be a MKVII bag off ebay. It should be here sometime next week. When it arrives, the next step will be to outfit it with a bag strap. I want to create the Raiders look and would like opinions as to which strap I should buy.

I just got my WPGlory Repro bag off of e-bay a couple of weeks ago.
I conditioned the light strap and it darkened the back but the front of the strap is soooo light. A lot of others around the COW seem to prefer Keppler's strap. However, he's e-mailed me that he's in Alaska right now so I'm waiting for him to get back. Then it will be 3-4 weeks before my new strap will arrive.
Also, the WPG strap was 65 inches but I'm going to get the Keppler 71" strap so the buckle will be higher up near my chest like Indy's appears. I'm 68" tall so I'm average height but the 65" strap is just a little short for me.

I have used both the NH strap (Thanks Illinois Troy) and shortly after that I got a strap from Lee. Lee strap IMHO is thicker and fits me better. What I do like is the buckle from NH with Lee's strap. I use the NH on my WPG bag and Lee's on my Original MKVII. If I had to choose one it would be Lee's.
Just my .02 cents.
