The 3″ Saddle Blanket strap is made from a durable fabric that's 1/4″ thick, and will act as a shock absorber if you play a heavier instrument. The backing is Franklin's infamous ultra thick and supple suede, which is then topped with a durable cotton fabric in a traditional southwest cotton saddle blanket design. It's finished with soft glove leather end tabs and adjustable from 38-56" in length for a comfortable fit.
