Just bought two Italia straps and just wanted to know if they are as comfortable as many say? |

I have used straps in the past though that I thought were good leather straps that were alot more expensive but the wear was terrible. Just wanted to make sure these weren't hard and put to much abuse on your shoulder. I got the 4 inch as well. So like you said that should make a difference. Italia has a buy one get one free going on that ends today. So anybody who wants to take advantage of that deal, today is the last day. |

|  | Bassman7654 | | Join Date: Sep 2002 Location: North Las Vegas NV | | Itallia makes excellent straps. I have been using them for a couple of years now. They will even make you a custom 5 inch wide strap (I have 2) if you ask them. For the money, IMHO they are the best around. I also have 2 of their 4 inch wide straps and they are nice  The 2 for one deal makes them a no brainer for me

Note that Italia is about a three hour drive from here tho, so delivery times are going to be longer the further away from Cen Cal you are. Quote:

Best straps around. Great price. And they have always made custom lengths for me without charging extra. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Woodland Hills, California | | | Love Italias. The way they conform to my body is great, and the suede grips my shoulder just enough. I have some Levy's straps that are fancier looking with leather on both sides, but they slide too much and don't mold to my body the way the Italias do. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Grass Valley, CA | | | I have a couple 4" straps as well. They're great, with one issue: they're so thick it's almost impossible to get the dunlop strap locks on them. I finally got them installed with lots of pressure. I don't think they'll ever come off.
