Sizing Guide

NOTE: We measure from tip to tip of the split ring, or anchor link cord to determine our measurements. Due to the handmade process please allow for some slight variance on the specifications of your strap.

 

When making a decision on a size for your camera strap, we recommend referring to an existing camera strap you have and measuring its length and then use that as a guide to inform your decision. (Tip: Use a string, and then measure the string to get the measurements on a strap that is already attached to a camera)

Our most popular length is 40", this tends to be an all around good length for many people. If you aren't sure what length you need, you can also use a string at varying lengths and place around your neck to get a feel for the drop each length will have on your torso.

We also offer an Adjustable Anchor Strap for folks who like the option to adjust their size based on shooting conditions.

Color: English Tan

It is not big or flashy. That's the point.

At just half an inch wide, the Original keeps a small, unobtrusive footprint while securely carrying your camera. It stays out of the way so you can focus on shooting, not adjusting your gear.

Cut from full-grain leather, the strap softens with use and gradually develops a rich patina as the natural oils from your hands condition the leather. Over time, it becomes uniquely yours, shaped by the miles you walk and the moments you capture.

the straps are amazing! sometimes i wish we can also custom asked a specific length like 32" or like any in-between the sizes offered. because the material, the finishing, the packaging, the quality is just superb i wish they're offered in custom length!!

I really like this camera strap. It’s much better than the oneI bought on Etsy. I plan on buying another one soon.

It will hold.

Nice product. i own two! Quality of leather is high. Rivets are nice. My only gripe is that I wish Clever would source less puny split rings. The gauge of wire twists and distorts over time.

Disappointed, will not use it and would not recommend this product to anybody. Its thin in a bad way. It stretches in a cheap way. Inner surface crumbles. studs go against the camera in a way that it would rub constantly and leave marks. Sorry, but i do not trust my M10 to this strap.

I was honestly extremely disappointed in the strap that I received. I thought that getting 10% off and paying $70 for a "full-grain" leather strap that "softens with use" meant that I was getting a really good deal on a really sturdy and high quality leather strap. What I received was the complete opposite. The leather was insanely flimsy and thin. In fact, it's hard to imagine it getting any softer before tearing completely. Honestly, the stock strap that my camera came with feels way sturdier and higher quality than this one. I might consider reaching out to see if I can get a refund bc the strap feels like it should cost about $10. Terrible.

The perfect strap for my small Fujifilm. The short length is just right for how I use it, the leather is premium without being too thick or stiff when new, and I only expect it to get better with age. I love the rivets, I thought I would regret it and prefer the hand stitched version, but not so. They are perfectly installed and nice to touch, unobtrusive, and way more rivet than will ever be put to the test. I do wish for it to come with more refined and slightly larger split rings at this price point, but that can be fixed easily enough. Overall a great strap!

Not worth it. The rivets don't work for some cameras, like mine. They should have supplied different options for the price. And the leather is rough and course on one side, causing chaffing. I regret this purchase

I received this item as a gift with my purchase of the Camera Sling V2 6L. I have this black strap and absolutely love it. Once I break it in, I’m planning to switch to this one and do the same. I highly recommend this product.

Got one. Loved it. Got three more. Love them. Great length for me. Nice and supple...not too bulky. Great compromise between bulk and strength to feel secure and also to function as both wrist strap and neck strap.

Great quality and reasonably priced. Love the little leather bumpers to keep the metal from scratching the camera.

I wanted to wait a month or so to make a review . This is honestly the best camera strap out there. I love the simplicity and the design. The leather has soften up making it extremely comfortable to use. I will never take this off! Thank you for an amazing product and an even better customer support!!!

Incredible American made strap! I was looking for a smaller strap for my Canonet QL17 and this one is perfect, I could even wrap it around my hand as a wrist strap. This is something that will definitely last a long time. Leather feels stiff at first but it gives me more reason to use my camera and get a nice patina on it.

Really nice quality leather in the perfect length for me. Works perfectly around the neck and the material is soft enough to comfortably wrap around the wrist a few times and use a hand strap. Already ordered another one.

Rivets are scratching the paint off my camera. Small leather pads supplied serve no purpose as they only cover an area not in contact with any metal parts. Sure, the leather is nice but essentially this strap is not fit for purpose.
