US source for weatherproof bag straps?
Here's the deal. I've been thinking about this while looking at the different strap offerings on the net. I sweat more than anyone I know, which, coupled with the southern humidity, would cause me to go through bag straps quicker than most. I use my MK VII all the time, so I want a really good strap. So my question is, is there a US source for weatherproof leather straps?

why not try the bag strap available at Texas Action Gear - unfortunately the website seems to have problems - I can't open it.

I think they said something that the bag strap will not fade out. I have one and like it very much but I haven't tested it in humid climate yet.

I emailed Todd at Todd's Costumes about his deluxe strap, I think I'll go with that.
Thanks for the suggestion though Pandora. I never got to see TAG, but from what I've heard I'm sad it's closed.

Does anyone know the likelyhood that TAG will be back? I wanted to buy a strap from them. If it looks like they are gone for good, I may as well buy it from Todd's Costumes. It appears that people think they are the second best source for straps.
How sturdy are Todd's bag straps? I know that they note that their straps are sealed to prevent staining on clothing. Is there anyone who can attest to this. I don't want to be out roughing it and have my sweat cause the strap to stain my shirt.

I can second that regarding Todd: Just got my fingers of my first Indy piece, the bag... Just took 8 days from US to Norway.
What points in the direction Todd being high service shop to buy from is the fact that I was a complete idiot ordering!
I manage to put in an order which only contained oversea shipping!! No problem, sendt panic mail, got calm down mail in minutes (and this was on a Sunday!) and how to fix...
And not only that, without asking they made the order 'a gift' without me asking for it. Importance is if not I would have to have paid custom here in 'even if the richest small country after switzerland going to tax you like &¤%#' Norway.
I am propably going to throw some more money in the Todd direction.
Bag great I think by the way!
