Rip-off

I bought a bag from What Price Glory and a strap from Noel Howard back in May...I thought the bag was perfect, and for fifteen damn dollars it couldn't be beat. The strap seemed okay at the time....but I was watching "Temple of Doom" the other day and it finally hit me. The Noel Howard strap is the biggest rip-off since the final Seinfeld episode. The strap is a half-assed brown color...almost red. Only one side is "finished", while the other side looks like the underside of a cheap K-Mart belt. I'm still not sure how much I forked out for it, since it was in English pounds....but looking back the strap isn't worth five bucks. It doesn't look anything like Indy's. The leather is stiff and raw, not smooth and comfortable-looking like the real thing. If I was looking to buy a strap now, I'd steer clear of Noel Howard....hell, I could make a better one myself.
