Funny story this one
This was my first leather strap so I was blown away by how wide it was and it did look quite comfortable. I was a little bit wrong on that one. The first thing that happened was that the strap was a little too short for me (I'm 6ft tall and it made my arm tire quicker from have to have it sitting on the body) But I could have lived with that. The second thing to happen was I actually had to resort to wearing hoodies when I was using it because the sides of it were like sandpaper and kept putting irritating marks that were like burns on my neck. The third thing was that mid gig the last time I used it I thought it had come off during a guitar solo so I was balancing it on my knee but it turns out the strap had snapped near the bottom. Had to play the remainder of the gig with two shoe laces tied together, That's always fun. This strap was not my cup of tea, It didn't feel cheap or anything but I'm a big guy so I just found it very uncomfortable

Mehh
Its good looking at first but after a couple months the leather looking plastic layer starts peeling from the real leather layer thats underneath, nonetheless for the price its enough and even with the degraded visual it still does the job of holding a guitar after almost a year

Not really leather, but cheap, functional, looks fine.
Edit: I think the strap is made out of "leatherboard" i.e. reconstituted leather, with a plastic coating that will detach and peel with wear. Nonetheless, what do you expect for the price? It's cheap, it holds your guitar and it looks ok.
Original review:
This strap is actually much better looking than in the photos.
The leather is quite waxy and will look even better with some wear.
The HB logo is not printed gold as in the photos but a subtle embossed "HB".

Not very comfortable
Have had this for over a year now and it still hasn't softened or formed at all like leather normally does.
When standing the strap is ok unless you need a "sticky" strap e.g. against neck dive. If you would like to use the strap when sitting, or switch between standing and sitting this is a pain, always slips to back...
Obviously this will last forever, still shows no wear despite of daily use and occasional softening efforts. It also looks good.

Not great - does the job
Quality is average, not that impressive.

Fair enough
Very stiff leather. Very stiff. But it works once you get it on the guitar. I guess it's a case of getting what you pay for. Maybe it gets softer with time.

It's ok
The strap is well made and is sturdy. There is one problem thought. It is that the adjustable end tends to fold down on the shoulder and is not very comfortable.

Just ok
I`ve used this strap on a Fender Jazz Bass for about half a year now, but i still didn`t get 100% used to it. The leather is not the best quality, and the cuts are a bit sharp, so my neck gets bruises from time to time. But on the good side, it`s very solid, and it does not fall out easily out of the strap locks, even when using the simple, default ones that you find on most guitars. I would not buys this again unless i really want a cheap feeling strap. I would spend my money a nylon strap instead.

Good price/quality but could be better with no additional cost
The strap looks good and is comfortable, keeping in mind that it is pretty narrow, and therefore not recommendable for heavy guitars. I use it with an acoustic guitar.
The main problem is that the holes are very tight, and it is extremely complicate to insert and remove any guitar strap button. They should simply be a little bit larger.
