A good question since style is so subjective. When shopping for these things locally, there are few that venture beyond the typical Planet Waves styles and/faux leather with predictable programmed stitching.

Was hoping to find and brouse through nice leather straps, wide for better weight distribution, adjustable and sturdy but comfortable.
