As others have mentioned, the strap is initially a bit on the stiff side, but it does soften up with use, and a light application of carnauba wax (or similar) on the strap buttons can help when installing the strap for the first time. It will also help eliminate the creaking sound the strap might make the first day or two as it breaks in. I'd consider the first few days of use to be similar to breaking in a quality baseball glove -- slightly stiff to use up front, but well worth the effort in the long run.I think the strap is probably ~10 oz leather, well made, with a very nice look that will only get better over time. The quality and stiffness of the leather will ensure that the strap will stay put on the strap buttons, and it ought to last for decades.If you are putting the strap on and taking it off constantly in order to put your guitar in a tight-fitting case, you might be in for a workout for the first couple weeks as the strap breaks in, but it doe become exponentially easier each time you use it.For me, the width of the strap is perfect. I'm not a fan of overly wide guitar straps, and this one is wide enough to spread out the weight and reduce the strain on your shoulder without being cumbersome or looking out of place. For me, it is comfortable to use for hours on end, and the width is just small enough to allow it to fit in the case pocket where a wider strap will not.Lastly, I think the price is fairly good given the quality of the item.

The strap is well made. Seems a bit dry, so Mink oil helps.

This strap now lives on a 1974 D35. They belong together.

This was hands down a great solid purchase and great quality strap just get some and add them so it does not disconnect on accident and you are good to GO.

Got a new Martin guitar and needed a better strap. It took a little to brake in the stiffness but once that occurred I am very pleased with the strap and it should last many years!

The only thing I don’t like about it is very difficult to put on your guitar. It’s so stiff.

L'ho presa per la mia Martin GPC 11e. È proprio bella, anche se un po' rigida inizialmente. Ma con qualche accorgimento e con l'uso mi darà la giusta soddisfazione!

I purchased this relatively-expensive strap specifically because it was listed as "soft" leather. (I already own a number of "hard" leather straps, so I wanted something more comfortable.) In truth, this strap is the absolute hardest leather I've encountered, and therefore very uncomfortable — in fact, much harder than the strap it was to replace. Yes, it's leather, but definitely not as advertised. Would not recommend.
