    I'm a B&S fan. I like the lumber jack and the grey brown. The plain black is also nice on a speedy.

    Similar are the Hodinkee ones.

    Heureville also makes nice straps. They are thicker than B&S. Some people like that, some dont.

    Of all the ones I've tried, I like B&S best I'd say.

    Edit: um, yeah, pics!
    B&S, Heureville, B&S

    I also love vintagestraps.it (B&S and Hodinkee style but made in Italy) and camillefournet.com: a bit pricey but great straps.

    I'm wearing mine on a Rover Haven strap and it's very good...

    Construction quality is very good, and the shell cordovan on this one is doubled, so it will wear like iron I'm sure, while being very comfortable.

    Myron is also a great guy to boot.

    I second the B&S Straps, they're sturdy, comfortable, and last (see the camel strap in pic 2 and 3). Also, not leather but always fun for more casual looks is the repro NASA strap (pic 1). Can't remember the name of the chap from the UK that makes these but they're on eBay now and again for ~$40 USD.

    I recommend Rios "New York" Cognac Shell Cordovan with White stitching. Good price and good quality.
