 Here you will find guitar straps handcrafted with love and care. I select only the finest hides available from the best tanneries, Wickett & Craig being my favorite. I have no employees, I craft each strap personally.  That way I can be sure you get my very best each and every time.      Some years backI made some big life changes, including getting married in '05, and then moving to Pennsylvania with my wonderful wife Ronda in July of '06, leaving N.J. behind. We did that so we would have enough room to take in my 90 year old mom and have her live with us. I was in need of finding a way to generate some income from home, so that I could be around when she needs help. My musician friends' suggestions of making straps full time started to sound like a great idea. I started working with leather in 1971, selling guitar straps, belts, bags, hats, etc. throughout New Hampshire. I also spent a summer in the old French Quarter of Montreal making custom fitted sandals at an artisan's market.

    I've had the pleasure of making straps not only for players from all across the U.S.A. but from all around the globe as well. 

I hope to have the pleasure of making one for you ~   

My mother passed away in 2012 and Ronda and I are relocating to the Northern Neck of Virginia, our new home and the new home of Brookwood Leather : )
