It wears in fast, gathering a personal patina that feels less like aging and more like identity. Sourced from Montana and hand stitched in Minnesota, the VG Strap is 100% made in America - born in the west and lives on world-wide.

Product information

All our shipments are fully insured. For shipments valued over $150, a direct signature will be required upon delivery.

We utilize various shipping carriers, with FedEx Express being our primary choice for 2-Day and Overnight shipping within the US, as well as International deliveries.

We accept returns within 14 days of delivery, subject to a restocking fee of up to 15%. This fee is not for profit, but to cover the costs associated with selling an item. Each return is evaluated individually, and we strive to minimize this fee. In many instances, we waive it entirely if the refund credit can be applied towards another item in the store.

Please note, all returned items must be in the condition in which they were shipped. If the items are returned in a different condition, we will not be able to accept them.

We highly recommend visiting us in person to experience our fine photographic tools before deciding which tool best fits your needs. Please note that our inventory is distributed among our three stores, and what you see online may be at any of these locations. Below are a few points that we’d like to make in order to meet your needs for in store pick up.

The location of each item is indicated online. For convenience, you can choose to pick up your item at any of our stores. Once purchased, the item should be ready for pick up within 4 hours at the designated store, although this might vary depending on the store's busyness and time of day. We request that you wait for a notification from us confirming that your order is ready for pick up, to ensure the best service.

If your chosen item is not available at your preferred store, we can transfer it there after purchase. If you want to pick up an item at a different store, select that store for pick up during checkout, or choose a regular shipping method and let us know your preferred pick up store via support@camerawest.com or by responding to your order confirmation email.

For any questions about in-store pick up, please email support@camerawest.com. We'll do our best to accommodate your needs.

We offer a concierge trade-in program for the gear you'd like to upgrade, cross-grade, or simply pass on to a new owner. This enables you to acquire the tools that fit your specific needs. The easiest way to trade is to bring your gear into one of our stores and meet with us in person. However, we also accommodate those who can't visit our stores. Our online process is both personal and simple.

To begin, fill out the form on our Trade // Sell page with the details of the fine photographic equipment or watches you'd like to trade in. One of our team members will then contact you to confirm any details we might need for an accurate estimate. We will provide an estimate that doesn’t only look at the value of your trade in but the whole picture of where you want to go. If the estimate is satisfactory to you, we can provide a shipping label for you to ship your gear to one of our stores for a final inspection and store credit. Finally, we apply that credit towards your new gear!

Understanding Bison Leather

You may have seen the phrase “buffalo leather” before. That is not bison. That is “water buffalo” from Asia. Water buffalo hides are more common, more plentiful, and are domesticated.

American bison on the other hand, are not domesticated. Their hides show natural range marks, deeper grain, and a wilder, more rugged look.

Some characteristics of bison leather hides and how it affects our straps:

  • They are inconsistent from edge to edge, producing a range of weight rather than a standard perfected cut. What this means is a hide could vary in thickness from edge to edge, resulting in our straps having a small range of thickness between 5-6oz. You’d only notice this if you bought several, which is fine by us!
  • The grain and texture of bison hides naturally vary from edge to edge. Unlike domesticated animals such as cattle or water buffalo, bison haven’t been selectively bred for uniformity. Their hides carry the same wild genetics as their ancestors, which creates noticeable differences in grain pattern, density, and texture. Every strap we cut is unique, ranging from tight, defined grain to broader, more open patterns. This is a true signature of the animal it came from. No two straps will ever be the same.
  • Bison leather is more veiny and oily than you may have experienced with cowhide. Because of this, your strap will be very soft and age very fast. A fold or crease will instantly show on your strap in the most beautiful patina. Due to the looser fibers of bison leather, your strap will stretch as well. You can expect it to gain 1-2” (2-5cm) during it’s first 90 days. Once it settles, it will no longer stretch.
