Why Anthology Gear?

The foundational principle of Anthology Gear is that a great guitar deserves a great accessory. Whether it's a guitar strap or an incredibly special gig bag, it should be a work of art. Our attention to detail is uncompromising, as every cut, stitch, and rivet is worked and reworked until it's perfect. At Anthology Gear, we fervently work with a drive to create something of lasting value, hoping to craft pieces that become a significant part of your musical legacy.

The Reticent

Being a musician is about allowing ourselves to be vulnerable, whether it's putting ourselves out into the world via a recording or a live performance. This can be a difficult thing for many of us to accomplish, but it can also be intensely rewarding and liberating as one lets their creativity flow.

The Reticent symbolizes the introverted, guarded, and somewhat inhibited person I am, who struggles with allowing myself to be vulnerable. However, when paired with the more gregarious guitar (and perhaps also with the always appreciated extroverted front man), I allow all those bottled-up thoughts and feelings to flow freely. I don't want a loud or obnoxious strap to tell my story. I want the thick, strong, durable comfort of an Anthology Gear full-grain leather strap – rugged, honest, and beautifully imperfect. And I'll tell my story through my music, reticently.

Full Grain Leather

Our straps are hand-made with the highest quality full-grain leathers. All of our leather guitar straps have their natural marks, scrapes, and scars, which means they have loads of raw, rugged personality.

Strong Thread

We use only the strongest industrial-grade threads, the same threads used to make parachutes and airbags. That's strength you can trust.

Padded for Comfort

High-density premium padding between leather layers provides a more comfortable playing experience on those long gigs.

A Lesson in Leather

Full-grain leather is the best leather money can buy. The closer we get to the surface of the hide, the more dense the fibers and grain. The further you get away from the surface, the more likely the leather will weaken and pull apart. Full-grain leather is the strongest, most durable, and helps distribute the weight of your guitar far better than any other type of leather.

Beyond the attributes of strength and durability, full-grain leather also retains the oils and preservatives, causing the leather to burnish and beautify with age. Over time, our leather will develop real, distinguishing character. We never spray paint our leather to look aged or give it personality. Fake distressing is like lip-syncing at a live performance. We don't do fake.

Sure, full-grain is much more expensive, but it's well worth it.

Benefits of Full Grain Leather:

• It is the strongest, most durable part of the hide.
• It best distributes the weight of your guitar.
• It burnishes and beautifies with age.
