Canvas or leather, but not rubber
Hello - has anyone tried one of these straps on an old PRS29a? I’m interested but a bit more expensive than I would usually pay.

Is really appreciate any information or a photo if you have.
Kind regards -

Have you considered Perlon? I wear my 29A on this one from Eulit, as I much prefer it to nato straps.

Y'all know that I'm a mahoosive fan of the Perl but in this case I think it's not the best option...
NATO G10 Style Perlon Strap
Goose Green?

There are now reissues of the AF2010 straps being made... not the same thing, but perhaps not a bad choice?

I’ve been looking at those tonight, I went searching after getting my reply, I think I will try one.
Just don't like perlon, leather seems more traditional and appropriate.

Another vote for perlon here...
Hello - thanks for all the replies. I do have a couple of Perlon straps from Eulit and like them very much. I like NATO straps but tend to cut them into an RAF style as (for me) all the extra strap is unnecessary.
I’m still always looking for the perfect strap though......
I did consider one of these:

Or maybe one of these:

The latter seems very expensive though!
How about a time factors braided strap. Bit chunkier than a perlon but similar.

*Vintage* perlon: the weave is tighter
Also in reversible stripes - 2 straps for the price of one. See timesofplenty on ebay
(Pics when I’ve worked out how to make them small enough)
Have you considered one of these?
Beautiful chestnut brown color and very comfortable.

My two favourite straps for mine are:
A horween leather Nato from Steveostraps and
A cheapo maroon Nato from cheapestnatostraps
The strap from the Smiths DeLuxe Service Sheet might be the answer.
A unique weave, pre Perlon and pre NATO.
An ideal match, something old and something new.

I know it is a bit late, but here is my AM on the AF 0210, when both were brand new. My wife wore this combo all last summer when we went away, she was rather taken with it.
