LEGACY classic wide camera strap

$85.00

Our latest edition to the LEGACY line is our classic wide strap. It is our widest strap to date and made with the same high quality leather from the Horween Tannery. Meticulously hand stitched using the traditional saddle stitching technique with weather treated bonded nylon tiger thread for incredible durability and strength. It is ideal for light to heavy dslr/lens combos, but will also beautifully compliment your Fujifilm X series or Leica cameras.  Each one is hand cut from premium sides of Bourbon, Brown and Bourbon Horween Chromexcel leather using a very durable 6 oz thickness. This accounts for just the right balance between flexibility and strength and will ensure the utmost protection for your camera body both in use and when stowed for transport in camera bags.  

This wide option is ideal for wrapping around the arm easily without sacrificing comfort, for a more minimal look and feel. Because of the width and thickness, a neck pad is not needed.  They can help distribute weight without the use of a neck pad on lighter to medium sized cameras. ***Bourbon x Crimson thread shown in main photos, Brown x Crimson in last two photos***

The length measurement is taken from the center of each keyring. Select the length you want from the drop down menu. Custom sizes can be made as well. Please email info@tapanddye.com to inquire.

 

****As each strap will be made to order, there will be a much greater lead time for production. Please allow 3 weeks from date of purchase for your strap to ship.**** 

We can rush process your order if it is needed before that lead time. Please email info@tapanddye.com for more details.***

 

  

Chromexcel is characterized by a rich pull-up in full aniline, hand rubbed finishes.  Made to this day with old world craftsmanship, modern Chromexcel carries on a long history of superior comfort and durability. Chromexcel is still produced here in the United States using a bark retannage from a proprietary recipe and then genuine hot stuffed with a secret blend of natural oils and greases.

  • Each leather camera strap is made from Full Grain, Horween Chromexcel leather for a softer, comfortable fit and feel. 
  • Each strap can be stitched with your choice of Black, Red or White thread
  • Strap thickness is 6 oz and width is 3/4"

    My third Tap & Dye strap, still love them!

    Amazing workmanship, I've yet to find anything that's lasted the test of time as well as these leather straps. They get better with time; as good quality leather should. My first Tap & Dye strap is about 6 years old and has aged beautifully with repeated use. These "classic wide" straps are great with rangefinder size/style cameras. I have one for a Fuji X100 and one for a Leica M film camera.

    Great strap with a big problem

    I had my Classic Wide now for a while and went back and forth with it for one and only one reason.
    Let me start with saying what is good:

    The leather is supremely soft and supple, almost like silk.
    Color is great and the markings look fantastic.
    It got made to my specifications and delivered all the way to Germany in a timely manner.

    Now on to the bad. And you might wonder, what could such a simple device get wrong?

    The backside.
    The back side of the strap (mine at least!) is completely unfinished. That is not entirely unheard of and one might think that is okay. It is this rough, fuzzy side of the leather which is causing the strap to fail at its job for me, though.
    Whenever I wear this strap, I know my camera will not accidentally slip from my shoulders, due to the friction caused between the rough underside and cloth. That can be said in its defence. However, this actually prevents me from sliding the camera into shooting position smoothly.
    I have to lift the strap from my shoulder as to not catch my shirt. This ruined the experience for me.

    This will not be the case for everyone. But beware of this!
    Other than that, it would have been a five star.

    Wonderful Strap

    I got the Tap & Dye Legacy classic wide for my Nikon F3 HP and couldn't be happier. The craftsmanship in this product is very apparent and gives my camera an overall great tactile feel.
