Strap

Mulceber · Post by **Mulceber** » Mon Aug 04, 2003 7:26 pm

I recently bought a shoulder bag on eBay (minus the any leather strap). Now that M.B.A. Costumes is gone (but not forgotten), where can I buy a strap online without paying for a bag as well? -IndianaJones

Lee Keppler. His stuff is awesome!http://www.adventure-supply.com

Although sometimes it does take a awhile to ship.

I recommend looking for a leather shop, local or on the net, and telling them what you want using pictures and by describing what you are looking for as detailed as possible. I did that a few months ago and I was very pleased with the results. I wanted a strap with the "grooves" that Noel Howard placed on his straps and I specified that I wanted both sides to be finished in dark brown, just for uniformity in the fold of the strap. I received my strap exactly as requested and the best part was that it only cost around $17, $12 for the strap and $5 for shipping. The hardest part was finding a buckle, but thanks to SWTrooper, that quest is over. I suggest looking into it at least. Hope this helps.

Thanks, Your help is really appreciated. When I asked What Price Glory, they said they'd only sell a bag and strap together. I wasn't even aware that Lee Kepler had a website. Thanks alot. -IndianaJones

Also, what is the website for SWTrooper?

SWTrooper is a member of this forum. He ordered a few buckles from a site that had an accurate looking buckle and he offered some of the extras he had for sale to other members. I couldn't find the thread earlier but here's the website with a picture of the buckle. http://aplusproduct.com/project/catalog/p10/12.htm The catch is that you have to order the buckles in bulk to get one. Hope this helps.

I am the artist formerly known as SWTroopers, but lost my ID after the last crash. Decided on a new sign on.

I still have some of the buckles left. $2 shipped. You can send paypal to my email (see below) or PM me for my address.

Tim - glad you got the buckle and like it!

I just ordered a custum strap too, Chicago screws included. About $20 with the shipment. I have promised my WPG strap and buckle away to a future (hoepfully) gearhead so now I need another buckle. PM sent to the artist formely known as SWT.

This might work too if you get rid of the roller and the pin(?).

The image below looks a bit like the Noel Howard one undistressed:
