Our leather camera straps are made from Horween Chromexcel leather. Handmade in England, of course, in a factory that has a combined experience of more than 200 years making leather goods.
Ordered it for my Fujifilm X100T, it’s my only strap besides the Fujifilm strap that came with the camera (and that I used for measuring to decide for the lengthÂ
 …).
Feels very nice, perfect width for me, looks just as nice as on the pictures. – Felix Scholtes
 …).Kensington Leather Camera Strap
We tried dozens of leathers before settling on Horween Chromexcel for our leather camera straps. We were looking for a leather that was durable and could take daily abuse, but that was soft on the interior of the neck pad. Some leathers seemed to work, but had terrible colour-transference. Our white shirt collars were left with stains. Horween Chromexcel is, in our minds, the only leather worth using for camera straps.
• Five sizes available: 90cm – (35 1/2″), 100cm – (39 3/8″), 110cm – (43 5/16″), 120cm – (47 1/4″) and 130cm – (51 1/5″). Measured from split ring to split ring (key ring). Please note: if ordering with a Peak Design anchor the length will be 10cm longer. If you require a specific size, please order one size down to accommodate for the anchor links.
• Width: 1.5cm
• Two colours available: brown and black.
• Several thread colours are available: black, dark brown, orange, navy, red and soft pink. The default thread colour is orange for our brown straps and red for our black straps. Our thread comes from Amann & Söhne. A German textile company that has been in business since 1854.
• Horween Chromexcel leather. Known for its durability and softness, as well as its lack of colour-transference. Meaning, the dye will not rub off on your clothes.
• Recommended max weight is 5lbs. Although straps have been tested to support weight up to 30lbs without breaking or splitting.
• Lug mount. Fits all lug mount cameras, including Nikon, Leica, Olympus, Sony, Fujifilm and most 35mm vintage cameras.
• We use the finest quality 304 stainless steel split rings and provide you with multiple rings in case you ever need to replace them.
• Most of our camera straps can be personalised. We stamp up to 3 letters on the strap. On the Westminster and Kensington straps we personalise just above our needle and thread logo. On our Oxford wrist strap we personalise just above our Hawkesmill England brand logo. We do not allow custom placements. Please note: we do not allow returns, or exchanges on straps which have been personalised unless faulty.

Reviews
I can clearly, without hesitation, say that this is one of the finest leather camera straps I have ever seen or owned. The leather is soft, the stitching is flawless. As usual – you get what you pay for. Several websites have already labeled Hawkesmill as the best camera strap in the world and I have to agree 100%. – Read full review.
The Hawkesmill camera straps are incredibly well made, feel great, and overall have a nice appeal to them. They surely do their job and they do it rather well. If you want one strap that’s absolutely perfect and gives you room to make adjustments accordingly, then spring for these straps. – Read full review.
Overall I absolutely cannot fault this strap so can comfortably give it a 10/10, and I’m generally fussy. Sure the price is high but so is the quality. Buy one of these and you’ll probably not need another for at least ten years. – Read full review.

Excellent camera strap! I own a few of Hawkesmill’s offerings and this stitched version of their Kensington strap doesn’t disappoint. Same great quality and feel as the other straps I own. Great customer service as usual.
Steve C –
In a word…sublime! From ordering to delivery took just a couple of days, the stitched Kensington in brown compliments my Olympus Pen-F with its quality and style. All at a price a lot less than the Olympus offerings. Customer Service second to none.

I searched long and hard for the perfect camera strap. And there are so many options out there it can be confusing. Hawkesmill made it really easy. I checked their compatibility page and saw my Fuji was listed. I hit the buy button and a few days later this gorgeous leather camera strap was on my doorstep and quickly on to my camera.
Really well done everyone. It fits perfectly and is so comfy.

Having owned a few straps from other makers I didn’t have much hope that these would be any better. However these really do live up to the hype! If you’ve been thinking about getting one of these, but aren’t sure why they are better than the rest, just get one. You’ll see why within the first few weeks of owning one.

Hi all,
I just want to reach out to you folks at Hawkesmill and say a big THANK YOU for this wonderful crafted stitched camera strap in brown. It perfectly compliments now my silver Nikon Z fc!
Special kudos to Shaan Young: the 110 cm length seems a much better fit than the initially ordered 120 cm, which was luckily out of stock 😉
Best regards from Vienna,
Chris

Great products are built to last, I should know, I’ve been using the same Canon film camera for over thirty years. While some photographers are forever chasing the latest technological innovation, my work and practice is based on tradition. I like to keep things simple. A roll of film in my pocket, the clunk of a shutter, the smell of a darkroom, watching an image appear on paper in the developing tray. I have never lost my sense of wonder.
And that’s why I love Hawkesmill’s camera straps and bags. It’s about classic style, it’s about quality, its about tradition and like me, they may get a little bashed around as we travel the world, but they are built to last, wont let me down and just get better with age.

I have tried many camera straps. Straps that came with my camera, straps made of nylon and all kinds of materials. Straps made in China and the USA. And this is the nicest strap I have ever owned. It’s very soft and elegant. I love the subtle details. I haven’t found that on any other camera strap. Glad I found you.
