Let me say outright that the Hawkesmill Oxford is a very nice camera wrist strap. In fact, it’s probably the best strap I’ve ever seen, yet alone had the pleasure to use. – Shotkit
Oxford Leather Camera Wrist Strap
We tried dozens of leathers before settling on Horween Chromexcel for our Oxford leather camera wrist straps. We were looking for a leather that was durable and could take daily abuse, but that was soft on the interior when up against the skin. Horween Chromexcel is, in our minds, the only leather worth using on camera wrist straps. A photographer shouldn’t have to worry about their wrist strap. They should be able to use it and not have to think about it being uncomfortable, or worrying about it breaking. That’s what we’ve created with our Oxford leather camera wrist strap.
• Length: 22cm (8 3/4″)
• Width: 1.5cm
• Two colours available: brown and black.
• Leather keeper comes with orange stitching as standard. Although, 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.
• High-quality, large rivets to ensure durability and longevity.
• 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.

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.

AWESOME strap! I use this on my Sony A7s and it never leaves the camera. It’s comfortable, looks the business and has aged well in the 4 months I’ve had it. Quick shipping to Australia. Took two days. Thanks guys!

Soooooo happy with my wrist strap! Since owning it I have been complimented on it more than on my camera! HAHA! Very soft leather. The key rings were easier to get on then other straps. Love all the branding on it that says Made in England. Thanks!

It’s a wrist strap. It’s comfortable. It looks good on my camera. It does the job. Very happy with it so far. The only issue is that I wish I chose express delivery. Shipping to Canada took a couple of weeks. But that’s my fault for not clicking that option at checkout.

My Oxford wrist strap arrived last week and I haven’t been able to take it off my camera. It makes my Fuji X-E2 look so nice.
The leather is soft and the strap doesn’t get in the way of any of the controls. I personally don’t like neck straps, but this is the perfect solution when you want to be mobile and hands free. A great wrist strap. Only problem is… now I need the black one to go with my vintage film camera!

Just a quick note to say thank you very much for my wrist strap! This thing is the genuine article. I don’t remember being this pleased with a product right out of the box.
It is everything you say it is and more!

Had this for about a month. It’s all that it needs to be and more. Don’t know how I got on without it. Don’t like neck straps so this is perfect.

My husband loves this camera strap. Fits like a “glove” and keeps the camera steady and safe. Quality is wonderful. And delivery was fast. Thanks!

I received my two straps last week and thought you should know that I am thrilled with them!!!
Beautiful in every sense! Does my Fuji 100F look fabulous (+ Squarehood, Artisan Obscura shutter button and hotshoe cover and Gariz half-case)? It takes amazing photos too!!!!
I will save up and buy a couple of full length straps in the future for my XPro-3s which, with the 100F, I use for weddings (sample attached!) – See attached
Hope you are safe and surviving in my homeland under lockdown.
We have been so fortunate here in Australia.
Keep up the fabulous work – your straps are exceptional and excellent value for the superb quality.
Very best wishes and THANK YOU!
