We’ve never seen a bandolier guitar strap that comes close to this one. That’s not modesty — it’s just the truth.
Toby Keith owned one. We watched him wear it in concert. If you have a photo of him with it, we’d genuinely love to hear from you.
This strap is built from thick, supple US-sourced leather — your choice of black chap or brown oil-tanned — cut to a commanding 3 inches wide. Each of the approximately 35–40 bullet loops is individually hand-stitched onto the strap. No shortcuts, no batch stitching. Every single loop, one at a time. It takes forever. That’s the point.
The bullets are real .308 Winchester brass casings, assembled by hand in our studio — we source the casings and tips separately and put each one together ourselves. The fit is snug and secure, so the bullets stay exactly where they belong no matter how much you move on stage.
Our hand-oxidized solid brass buckle adjustment system was invented right here in our studio — we were the first, and no one else does it quite like we do. The design distributes the weight of your guitar evenly across your shoulder — no slipping, no hotspots, just comfort through a full set. It’s been imitated, but never duplicated.
This strap is generally made to order. Select from our three standard lengths, or provide your custom measurement in the notes at checkout — you’ll have 4 inches of adjustability on either side. To find your custom length, lay a current strap flat and measure from the center of one peghole to the center of the other. Allow 1–3 weeks for delivery. Questions about timing?
