Close to Raiders version in dark tan color and 1 inch wide, around 3mm to 4mm, so I would call it thick enough strap. But the buckle is totally different... That's the point, I did a better job for the strap and buckle than theirs, I can send my right buckle pic for you if you need. BTW the strap is dyed one side, that's a nice thought for not spread out of the color to the shirt, it also got a line on both side edges.

: : I got the bags from Mr. Howard weeks ago. But the strap is totally different and the buckle either. I love the works of pants but not the bags.... Any way, if you cannot find a good strap, it might be a good choice to buy from Mr. Howard.

: : : I recieved the Gas Mask bag from Noel Howard today. It cost me ?5 with the leather strap. The bag is in good condition, a lot better than that of Sentimental Journey's version which was overpriced and filthy and to which I regret buying.
: : : Anyway, the bag is a good buy, but one thing I don't understand is that on the X marks the spot page it says that Noel Howard is selling the strap for ?7 without the bag!!!
: : : I'm sure you're all sick of hearing about this subject so lets move on......I'll answers any questions regarding the bag..

: Seamus and Azuma, is the strap a good recreation? Does it have a generic type buckle, or is it something special? Is the leather thick or thin? Color? Raiders, TOD or LC style?
: The bag is one of my favorite prop items so I'm very interested.
: Thanks,
