Needed a new shoulder strap for an old briefcase/messenger bag and wanted something tough enough to carry any load. The Frost River leather strap is overbuilt with quality thick leather and heavy duty brass hardware. Ultra strong and ruggedly handsome as well. Wide leather pad makes it surprisingly comfortable as well, even with heavy loads. USA made, it surpasses the quality of almost identical Filson straps at a much better price point as well. Heirloom quality, I can’t say enough about how awesome this strap is!
