This is a 3.5-inch (approx. 9cm) wide Italian aniline-dyed genuine leather strap. It has a very soft and easy-to-handle feel. The back is suede, making it non-slip and providing good instrument stability. It's similar in size and feel to the Richter Straps Beaver's Tail Monster Black. It's a like-new item, only used briefly to hold an instrument after purchase. I'd be happy to pass it on to someone who can use it.
