Product Information

Strap Maintenance: Regardless of material (leather, nylon, silk) you should clean your strap occasionally with a damp cloth and natural soap to remove body oils which can damage straps. Leather is a natural product and does require nourishment. I would recommend a natural product to condition your strap, Neatsfoot or Mink oil are the best, and I use Saphir Renovateur from France. For a more detailed guide see Hawksmille’s strap cleaning guide. Paracord was made possible by the invention of nylon by Wallace Hume Carothers for DuPont in 1935. During WWII it was used to create chute lines for US Paratroops, thus Para-Cord. Even after it fell out of use for parachute suspension lines it became a standard military supply item for troops due to its strength and versatility, and I remember using it in the Australian Army for just about everything. You can read more about the history and uses of Paracord here. Oberwerth is German bag and strap manufacturer whose ISAR wrist strap is handmade from velvety and especially soft Rhubarb Leather®.

Another method used by some strap manufacturers is to use the Peak Design AL-4 Anchor Links as connectors on their straps. This is an ingenious system that comes in two parts, one is the links that attach to your camera with cord, and then these slot into a holder on the strap. This system is used by some of the strap makers here. The oldest and most environmentally-safe leather production method is vegetable tanning. I love how raw vegetable tanned leather darkens with age and develops a beautiful patina, but beware that colored vegetable tanned leather is prone to color-transference.
