This Franklin slightly distressed strap has a time-worn look that is in the nature of the leather rather than a process. It appears to have been well-used and loved for years; more like a cherished leather wing back chair than an old pair of shoes. The Jackson Hole series leather is one of the most interesting leathers Franklin has sourced. Built like the Original Series glove leather however instead of suede backing they line the strap with a lush garment leather that not only feels soft but lets your guitar slide freely on your shoulder.
