Talk to me about your favorite uke strap. Pics encouraged. Links to sellers are nice too!
Sherrin's Threads ("ST") - pretty enough and don't break the bank. I have one of the 'peacock' design:

and one that she evidently doesn't sell anymore, which is a dark blue starry sky with gold stars
I love this one, but I'm not paying $65 for a STRAP!

Lately I purchased a small old little banjolele reported to be from the 20's that's a bother to hold and play even while seated. Not wanting to spend $$$ unless I'm using something period specific like old suspenders or some such thing I realized I have a few webbed belts that come free on the Wrangler cargo pants I wear. These belts are worthless as belts but are free strong black nylon webbed straps.
I plan on using either plastic or rubber coated clips. It seems common on a banjo to use metal clips or some black rawhide to tie the strap to the pot.
I play sitting or lounging back in my chair mostly. Otherwise should I ever need a strap I think I'll be working out something like Uncle Raggys neck leash.
I use the Uke Leash.
I have found a ton of great deals on Amazon and the one critical thing now for me is that it be a guitar width strap. Guitar straps are awesome on ukes.
