Leather straps for Binocular Case

Post by thidisbogus » Mon Apr 27, 2020 8:56 pm

Does anyone know where to buy a correct looking set of leather straps for the typical correct hard brown binocular case carried by US officers? I have the case and binoculars but the straps are missing.

Best regards,

Rodney

Hi,

Try asking a saddle maker. They can probably make you one.

What Price Glory sells dead-nuts repros for cheap.
I replaced the straps on all four of my binos.
