If we are talking personal preferences....straps from Lee Keppler, hands down! The bag is a different story....
I personally have had bad experiences with Sentimental Journey, but I have not heard of others having bad experiences. I think most any place that offers the bags are as good as any other.

I have never actually ordered a bag from anyone at all except SJ...it didn't work out, so I sought out other personal sources for the bag. Sometimes they come up on eBay....

Lee's straps are dead on, great straps! Buy one!

That is about all I can say.....good luck!

: Hey all,

: Even though I've checked out Indygear a ton of times, I thought I would run this by you guys first since it seems to me that most of the people here have had personal experience ordering and probably can provide the best info.

: I am looking to buy both a leather strap for an MkVII I already own and possibly to purchase another MkVII bag with a strap on it already. I know Lee Kepler sells the straps, and both Noel Howard and Sentimental Journey provide bag/strap services. What I would like to know is which person do people prefer to order from?

: I have heard the brass buckle on Noel Howard's leather strap is too big, has he changed that? Would anyone recommend buying from him?

: How does Lee Kepler's strap look like? Has anyone just bought the strap from him with the hardware to put it on/ is it nice looking and fairly easy to do?

: I am on a fairly tight budget, so I don't want to be spending too much. Noel Howard's prices aren't too bad, but what about shipping costs to the US?

: I thank any of you who respond in advance for your help- I really appreciate it!
