Harvest - Leather Guitar Strap

Harvest
It begins with collecting fragments, jotting down words that don't yet connect, looping a few chords or sketching a cluster of images without much clarity - like throwing seeds into the soil and waiting to see what comes up. Drafts sit unfinished, sketches refuse to resolve, and progress seems uneven. Yet you stay with the work because it is the only way forward. As you tend to it, the piece begins to root itself. Sometimes it grows unruly and you must trim it back. Other times it feels too bare, and you wait for another phrase to arrive and complete the shape. There is a quiet magic, where instinct leads the way. You don’t so much create as uncover. You follow the pull of a rhythm, the echo of a word, until what was once scattered becomes whole. A phrase, a melody, a design, or a story begins to hold together. You can sense a kind of weight to them, a coherence. A song, a painting, an essay, or even an idea—it is ready because it holds a kind of fullness that wasn’t there before. It is not about perfection, but about reaching a point where the work can stand on its own, separate from you. It is ready for harvest. What once lived unseen, has now grown into something that can be heard, seen, read, finally shared.
Inspired by the aerial view of farms - the patchwork of squares in varying colors of gold, brown and green that blankets the landscape - our "Harvest" guitar strap will support our family farms through donations made to Farm Aid. Farm Aid is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to build a vibrant, family farm-centered system of agriculture in America. We kicked off the introduction of "Harvest" with a donation to Farm Aid and we will continue to donate $10 to the organization for every "Harvest" strap sold on our website.

GUITAR STRAP LENGTH:
Leather This Anthology Gear leather guitar strap is hand-made with the absolute finest quality full-grain leather. Full grain leather is unaltered, meaning the top layer of the hide is not shaved off to eliminate aesthetic imperfections, so it retains all of its natural scrapes and marks. It also means full grain leather is stronger and more durable than all other leathers (top grain leather and genuine leather, for example). To top it off, this leather will burnish and beautify with use. All of our full grain leather guitar straps have their natural marks, scrapes and scars, which means they have loads of raw, rugged personality. The full grain leather on the back side of the strap has been custom plated to give it a grippier texture.
Our leathers are chosen for their ability to fully distribute the weight of the guitar across the strap, for a more comfortable playing experience on those long gigs.
Your guitar strap may feel a little stiff at first - that's just the thickness and strength of full grain leather. Like a new pair of high quality leather boots, you need to break it in. The more you wear your guitar strap, the softer it will get.
Padded for Comfort Our leather guitar straps are not only great looking, they're also super-comfortable. Between two layers of leather, we use a high-density, premium padding to maximize comfort without sacrificing strength. Although not as thick as some padded guitar straps out there, our premium padding will not break down over time. We give the guitarist the best of both worlds, a streamlined padded guitar strap. Comfortable and durable with style!
Industrial Grade Thread Even better, we use only the strongest industrial grade threads, the same threads used to make parachutes and airbags. That's strength you can trust.
Satisfaction Guaranteed All leather pieces offered by Anthology are protected by a 30-day full satisfaction promise from the date of delivery, which guarantees a full refund as long as the product is returned in new and unused condition. All leather pieces have a 25 year warranty against all defects in materials and workmanship.
What's the Right Guitar Strap Length?
If you’re buying as a gift and don’t have access to measure the current strap, or you just can’t wait until you get home to take the measurement, there are several factors to consider:
The main functional issue with respect to buying a guitar strap online is getting the length right. Our straps are measured from attachment hole to hole. The best way to determine your ideal length, or that of the musician you’re buying for, is to measure the previous strap. If you don’t have a strap to reference for whatever reason, we’ve assembled some general guidelines for length (supplemented with this friendly disclaimer: if you find our standard strap is too short, you can always add a jumbo tongue).
Elements to consider:
1. Player height and weight:
• In general, players who are 6’ and under, and average weight, should be fine with a standard length strap.
• Players over 6’, or with more weight, could use a jumbo tongue.
2. Electric or acoustic:
• Because acoustic guitar bodies are deeper, guitar players 5’10” and over will likely prefer a strap with the jumbo tongue.
3. Placement of attachment pegs:
• The strap attachment peg on the guitar can be in a couple of places. On some guitars the peg is at the top of the bout; on others, it’s placed where the guitar neck meets the body of the guitar. In the case of the latter, a few more inches will be needed, and a jumbo tongue might be the way to go.
4. How low or high the player holds their guitar:
• If the player is a rocker, with their guitar a bit below the waist, a jumbo tongue might be the way to go.
• If the player holds the guitar from the waist up, our standard length strap should do the trick.
