Texas Willie vintage worn strap

Vintage dye job to replicate that "old and warn, yet well cared for" look. Perfect piece to show off some of those natural character marks.

I cover the piece with dark brown applied blotchy, with only "specs" of dye around the tooling, then go over the whole thing in red, followed by some light brown around the tooling to darken it up a bit and then some more to blend different shades on the rest of the strap, then one more coat of red to tie it all together. It's a pain, but my customers love the look.

Anthing leather & refering to Wille is going to set-off the Eye Alarm. Your work stands on its own with character, charm and the texture of the good old days. This is a classic piece, Jerry Jeff H would reach higher notes with this strap on his guitar. Its easier to make something look new than to look new, yet used.
