Kensington Leather Camera Strap

We are stoked to be partnering with Hawkes Mill to offer two versions of their stunningly beautiful, hand crafted leather straps.

Hawkes Mill tried dozens of leathers before settling on Horween Chromexcel for their leather camera straps. They were looking for a leather that was durable and could take daily abuse, but that was soft on the interior of the neck pad. Some leathers seemed to work, but had terrible color-transference. Their white shirt collars were left with stains. Horween Chromexcel is, in Hawkes Mill’s opinion, the only leather worth using for camera straps.

• One size available – 100cm – (39 3/8″) Measured from split ring to split ring (key ring).

• Width – 1.5cm

• Two colors available: brown and black.

• High-quality, large rivets to ensure durability and longevity.

• Horween Chromexcel leather. Known for its durability and softness, as well as its lack of color-transference. Meaning, the dye will not rub off on your clothes.

• Recommended max weight is 5lbs. Although straps have been tested to support weight up to 30lbs without breaking or splitting.

• Lug mount. Fits all lug mount cameras, including Nikon, Leica, Olympus, Sony, Fujifilm and most 35mm vintage cameras.

• Hawkes Mill use the finest quality 304 stainless steel split rings and provide you with multiple rings in case you ever need to replace them.
