Brown or black

Brown develops a warmer patina and reads as a classic vintage strap. Black stays understated, which some photographers prefer when the gear should not draw attention at weddings, in galleries, at corporate events.

Soft from the first day, strong for years

Full grain leather is the outermost layer of the hide, with the grain intact. That is what makes it both supple against the neck and strong enough to carry a body with a fast lens without stretching. Nylon holds its shape until it does not, then frays at the edges.
