Franklin Straps 3" Original Black Glove Leather Series Guitar Strap - Black with Silver Stitch

Franklin Original Black Glove Leather Series | Haggerty’s Music

The cornerstone of professional comfort. The Franklin Original Black Glove Leather Series is the flagship of the Franklin lineup, representing the genesis of the brand and its commitment to heritage craftsmanship. These premium straps provide a classic, versatile look that has made them a trusted choice for musicians who value both timeless style and tour-grade reliability.

Now available at Haggerty’s Music, this series offers the perfect blend of understated sophistication and superior weight distribution for every performance.

Why the Original Black Glove Leather Series Stands Out

Built with the same attention to detail that defined the original Franklin design, this series focuses on high-end material selection for an instantly comfortable playing experience.

• Premium Pebbled Glove Leather: Each strap is topped with supple pebbled glove leather, chosen for its luxurious feel and ability to develop a unique patina over years of use. It provides a sleek, professional look that complements any instrument finish.
• Signature Soft Suede Backing: Lined with Franklin’s signature soft garment suede, these straps offer unbeatable support. This plush backing provides a gentle grip to prevent "neck dive," ensuring your guitar stays balanced and secure through marathon rehearsals
• Heavy-Duty Two-Ply Construction: Engineered for a lifetime of use, the two-ply body is paired with double-ply end tabs to resist stretching and wear at the connection points.
• Refined Tailored Detail: Every strap features carefully applied contrast stitching, lending a polished, tailored aesthetic that highlights the brand's attention to detail.
• Optimal Width Options: Whether you need standard support or extra weight relief, the series is available in both 2.5” and 3” widths, making it an ideal choice for heavy solid-body electrics and bass guitars.
