I've had two second-hand Carradice bags over the past five years, one a Nelson, and one a Camper - both were the black fabric with white leather straps IIRC, and the leather on both was thin and appeared to scuff and stretch when pulled tight in the buckles - I'd not have trusted them to last over years of regular usage. I ended up selling those bags, not because of the straps, but they were a concern at the time. -Jeff Silver Spring, MD -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
