# Soldier Double-Layer Cowhide Guitar Strap

> A wide cowhide guitar strap with a suede back that grips, so the guitar stays where you set it. Four colors, £54.95, free UK delivery and 30-day returns.

Two layers of cowhide with a suede back that grips your shirt, so the guitar stays where you set it. No foam to flatten, and the row of slots on the tail sets the length in seconds.

**£54.95**: free UK delivery

Dispatched within 3 days, then 4 to 7 days in transit. Payment is taken in full at checkout, and you can cancel free any time before dispatch.

- **It stays where you set it.** The back is finished as suede, so it grips a cotton shirt instead of creeping toward your neck over a long set.
- **Width carries the weight, not foam.** There's no padding in it. Two layers of cowhide spread the load across your shoulder, and there's no foam core to flatten out in a year.
- **Nothing to size.** One strap, one row of slots on the tail. You set the height in seconds while standing, the way a belt works.
- **It fits what you own.** Any guitar or bass with two strap buttons. About 200 g, in black, dark brown, tan or white.
- **Free UK delivery, 30 days to send it back.** Cancel free any time before it ships, we refund the return postage, and a person in East Sussex answers your email.

Buying needs JavaScript switched on. If you cannot switch it on, email hello@setliststraps.com with the strap and the color you want and we send a payment link.

Posted from our fulfillment partner's warehouse in China, 7 to 10 days to a UK door. Import VAT and duty are ours to pay, never yours. Cancel free any time before it ships, and 30 days to send it back with the return postage refunded. Pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna, Revolut Pay or Amazon Pay at checkout.

## What it is, and who makes it

The strap is made by Soldier, a guitar strap brand in China, and the logo embossed on the shoulder and on the end reads Soldier Guitar and Bass Straps 2005. You should know whose strap you are buying before you pay for it, so we print it. Setlist Straps is the UK retailer: we price it in pounds, answer your email from Hailsham in East Sussex, and take the return to a UK address. The strap is two layers of cowhide stitched together down both edges, with the back finished as suede so it holds on a shirt instead of sliding to your neck, and solid leather ends with one strap-button hole in each.

### What arrives

- One Soldier double-layer cowhide strap, in the color you pick
- Nothing else. It comes in a plastic bag and there is no gift box

## Specifications

- **Maker**: Soldier. Setlist Straps is the UK retailer, not the maker
- **Leather**: Two layers of cowhide, stitched together
- **Back**: Suede finish, which is what keeps it on a shoulder
- **Stitching**: Contrast stitching down both edges
- **Ends**: Solid leather, one strap-button hole at each end
- **Length**: Set through a row of slots on the tail, to suit standing or seated play
- **Width**: Wide. There is no padding, so the width is what carries the weight. The exact figure goes here the day Soldier confirms it (asked 14 September 2026)
- **Padding**: None. There is no foam in it
- **Hardware**: None on the strap itself
- **Colors**: Black, dark brown, tan, white
- **Weight**: About 200 g

In all four color photographs the strap lies across a guitar neck, so the fretboard is your scale. The photographs come from the supplier listing. Soldier has not given us the width or the adjustment range in inches, we asked on 14 September 2026, and until they answer no figure for either appears on this site.

### What £54.95 covers

- The strap in the color you pick, with UK delivery included in the price.
- Import VAT and duty on the parcel. If a courier asks you for a payment, send us the demand and we settle it or refund you in full.

- 30 days to change your mind, and one email cancels it free any time before dispatch.

It does not cover a gift box. The strap arrives in a plastic bag, and we would rather say so than describe packing we do not control.

## Questions about this strap

### Who makes this strap?

Soldier, a guitar strap brand in China. The logo is embossed into the leather, so you can see whose strap it is before you order it. We buy it, sell it in pounds, answer your email from East Sussex and take returns to a UK address.

### How does the length adjust?

The tail is cut with a row of slots. You feed the tail through the shoulder end and pick the slot that puts the guitar where you want it, the way a belt works. One strap covers seated and standing play.

### How wide is it, exactly?

We print a measurement when the maker confirms it, and Soldier hasn't sent the figure back yet. We asked on 14 September 2026. It is a wide strap, wider than the nylon strap most guitars come with, and the photographs show it across a guitar neck and over a shoulder. If an exact number is what decides your order, the 30-day return covers you either way, and we refund the return postage.

### Is it padded?

No. There's no foam core. The shoulder is two layers of cowhide, so the weight is spread by the width of the strap rather than by padding.

### Will it fit an acoustic with one strap button?

Not on its own. Both ends of this strap are button holes, so the guitar needs two strap buttons. An acoustic with only a tail button needs a headstock tie or a neck button fitted by a repair shop. We sell neither.

### Where does it ship from?

It ships from China. Soldier is a Chinese brand and our fulfillment partner, CJ Dropshipping, warehouses the strap there, so they post it to you direct. Dispatched within 3 days, then 4 to 7 days in transit. Free inside the UK. Everything after the sale stays here: you pay a UK shop in pounds, a person in East Sussex answers your email, and a return goes to a UK address rather than back to China. Cancel free for a full refund at any point before dispatch.

### Are there any reviews of this strap?

None yet. Every review on this page comes from a verified order, posted through the link in the dispatch email, and we publish them good or bad. There are none to show, so there is nothing here pretending to be one.
