Hey guys,

I am looking to tone down a new ML automatic with some colourful ribbon straps. I feel ashamed but I can't help admitting that I was inspired by some of the looks on the RLP website...

Could anybody recommend a good source? Any help would be much appreciated.

J. Press. Picked up an interesting Cream-Burgundy-Cream striped one today.

J.Crew, but I'm not a fan of their accessories.

Try O'Connell's in Buffalo. They have a website. With metal gromets or without. I picked one up today.

I noticed them on the counter during a recent visit to BB. I've never worn them, but they do have very nice color combinations available.

+1 on both J. Press and Smart Turnout. The one I got at J. Press in Cambridge recently is actually made by Smart Turnout.

^ I have the ones from centralwatch.com and love them. Haven't problems w/ the buckles, though I once had wire-rimmed glasses that totally ate away at my skin, and vice versa.

The Brooks ones look really well-made, but the colors/patterns are ugly.
