Looking for long replacement strap for MK VII Replica Bag
Hi guys.
I recently picked up a Costume Base bag from "That Auction Site" to work on my first pass of "close enough" Indy gear. The bag is so-so but will work for the time being... unfortunately, the strap is way too short (it looks like a purse only going about half as far as it needs to). I've got a charity gig I'm doing later this week, so for the time being I've taken my LL Bean messenger bag strap off that bag and am using it for the MK VII. I've looked up various sites and suggestions on the strap, but now that I can post an ask questions... I thought this would be a good one to start with:
I'm a big guy, in the neighborhood of 350lbs and topping out at around six foot three. I need a long, serviceable strap for my MK VII bag. I'm really concerned about a new strap being "long enough" since I already wasted $20 on a stupid gamble over the weekend. Ideas? Thanks!

I'm curious on this issue as well...
I ALSO figured that Todd's was the way to go, but I'm also "iffy" on the right length.
I'm 6 foot right on the nose and 190 pounds.
Any chance anyone here could post a few photos (or dig up some that have been posted in the past) in order to say:
"Okay, so here's a shot of me with my 72 inch (or whatever) strap. I'm 6 foot one inch"...so that we can see where the buckle rests on that measure of strap on that sized (height/girth) individual...?
