I am a couch fanatic. Everyone of my guitars has it own couch strap... My wife says its a way for me to accessorize. LOL
Anyways, I got an email from them saying they are having a 25% off summer sale and I fell for it and bought 2 more straps. (Don't tell my wife or else you will need to clear off your couch for me to crash on)

I have not, I have just guitar and camera straps.I have yet to try one of the seat belt ones so I ordered one to try. I also got a luggage strap for my partscaster. The passport holders look awesome also.

Damn it, why did you have to put this up, I love my couch strap and wanted to get a second and have been looking recently but I can't afford one at this minute! :D
My bank is going to hate me...
Thanks for posting this.
These look great, and international shipping ain't too bad either.
I'm gonna get on it!
damn, I feel stupid.
I had NO IDEA what you were talking about. For some reason, I thought you were talking about the cheesy female handbags "Coach" http://www.coach.com/online/handbags/Home-10551-10051-en and that they were making guitar straps. I thought, WTF?
Geez, I need more coffee :o ::)

I thought the same thing. I even read down and someone mentioned the wallets and said to myself "they do make nice men's wallets"... Newborns are great for ensuring you only get 3.5 hrs of sleep :o
I tried the fake leather straps and didn't care for the feel--just my personal thing, quality and look was A+. I have two seatbelt straps, though, and love them. Some people think they slip too much, but they are fine for me and I love the feel.

I have the wallet with the cat face on it. ;D It's awesome.
I want to get one of their camera straps, too.
Well I went all in and bought 3 straps and a plectrum holder (being the geek that I am)!
I love the aesthetic and up-cycle aspect of their designs.
I was actually considering making my own strap from an old seat belt; they've done it for me!

Wallet, with or without snap, recommendations? I've been sitting on mine for just shy of forty years, could be time to reaccessorize.
That and i do like seatbelt straps, time to move upscale from my pauper's grade Monkeyman's, how are these for length?
And international shipping does look quite reasonable... hmmm

This one has a snap. But I could go either way. Doesn't really matter to me as I keep my wallet front-left.
The quality is very good. I highly recommend their wallets. Haven't actually tried the guitar straps yet, actually.

I have one of their wallets, it's one of their GTO slimlines

I like it a lot so far, except that the ink they use to print a pattern on the reverse of the fabric comes off on everything, business cards, etc. Maybe I should run it through the laundry once. ;D
I like their straps, but after playing for a while I start to feel sweaty where the strap sits on me. But the quality and looks more than make up for it. I'll need to try a seatbelt strap, maybe that'll breath better.

Didn't have the vinyl straps long enough to speak to this, but the seatbelt straps def breathe.
aaaaand I just bought the military seat belt strap. Good timing, I have a new guitar that needs a strap and I love the look of these.
Cody, you're doing a fine job here, never heard of them before this post!
One seatbelt strap and two wallets, one for my wife, a simple card wallet so she can leave her Sherpa-worthy monster at home 99% of the time and a billfold for me, see if i can't make it last as long as the wallet it'll replace. Discount was greater then the price of one of the wallets so great deal!

What wallet for you? I need one...

Went for the Dark Red Mercedes without the snap. Was a toss up between that and the Grey GMC Truck Vinyl.

Order hit Canada yesterday, 5 days, now lets see what Canada Post can do with it. Around the corner from my house i can see the city it arrived in, how long can it take?
Order arrived yesterday, so seven days including a holiday weekend for an international/tracked order, that's great time and very nice products!
