I recognise this is an old thread and by now no-one cares. However, I will persist:
Straps flimsy? JL straps are the only straps I have encountered that are not flimsy. Each time I buckle my Williams I am left with a sense of security. That can not be said for any of the other monks I own/have owned - be it, EG or Cleverley and a lowly pair of Cheaney (disposed of).

Rest assured, JL are the finest and most robust straps, I'd say, on the market.
