OK, I'll play!

Ace Stained Glass, as used by Jimmy and Jimi.

I own the Souldier equivalent... not the Ace, or Ace repro.

This is my favorite strap. I use it all the time.

I don't know how old it is - I bought it at a garage sale maybe 30 years ago, the guy said he bought an old acoustic guitar and it was in the case.

Such a cool strap, together with that flamey sunburst LP this screams 70ies rock to me. Love it!!

jb_abides, I agree, these are amongst the coolest straps! I have the D'Andrea version on my blonde 58 reissue Tele.
Interesting guitar in your last picture- is that a Hagstrom?

Here are some I really like (big Robbie Krieger and SG fan...):

That's not mine, I am a lefty, that's just a photo I grabbed to show the original Ace.

Like you, I just have repro strap.

My favorite is completely boring looking compared to the ones posted, but it's the most comfortable strap I've ever owned. Late 70s (maybe early 80s-sorry) leather Fretsling. The curve in the strap makes a huge difference in comfort for me. When I couldn't get them anymore I bought a half-hide of leather and cut up a bunch of them. Pretty much the only strap I've used since the 80s. Somebody restarted making them a couple years ago, haven't tried one of the new ones.

Robbie’s index finger is longer than his strap.

How about those nylon cords, remember cutting into shoulder.
