This pad helps for a more comfortable carry when you are lightly dressed - and with heavier set-ups, will ease the burden on your shoulder or neck. The textured natural leather underside also helps to stop the strap slipping from your shoulder if you are not using our jacket or vest - which have their famous shoulder buttons to keep straps in check.
This pad is available as an optional extra on the Type A listing - so that it can be bought at the same time as buying a Type A strap, or you can buy it here. You can also buy the larger size shoulder pad for the Type B and C here - AND, Also the 'Worn Out West' strap IF YOU BUY HERE PLEASE MESSAGE US WHICH TYPE (A or B/C pad or 'Worn Out West') THAT YOU WANT
The pad is made of the same superlative quality as the leather used for all our straps.
A note on the snaps we use for the shoulder pad - sourcing the high grade Newey brand snaps - and, crucially, the press tools to fit them to the leather proved an epic hunt. We also needed to find a sufficient quantity to be confident that we could offer the shoulder pad to anybody who wanted one. Daft 'limited editions' are not our thing. And, of course the bonus with the Newey snaps is that they are nickel plated true vintage - and thus go perfectly with the rest of the nickel plated hardware used on our straps.
