How to measure your radio strap

Since each individual has unique preferences and body shapes, we offer the flexibility to customize the placement of your strap according to your specific needs. To help you achieve the perfect fit, there are three accurate methods for measuring the desired length for your strap.

1. **Using a Cloth Measuring Tape:** Begin by taking a cloth measuring tape and drape it over your shoulder, mimicking the natural position where your radio strap will rest. Make sure the tape is not too loose or too tight. Once you’re comfortable, pinch the tape where it feels best, ensuring it aligns with where you’d like the strap to sit. Carefully note that measurement in inches or centimeters will be crucial for the customization process.

2. **Using a Piece of String:** If you don’t have a measuring tape handy, you can use a piece of string as an excellent alternative. Drape the string over your shoulder similarly to the measuring tape. Again, pinch the string at the point where you would like the ends of your radio strap to rest. After squeezing, lay the string flat on a surface, such as the floor, and mark where you’ve pinched it. Measure the distance from the end of the string to the marked point with a ruler—this measurement will represent the overall length required for your strap.

3. **Measuring Existing Straps:** If you already own comfortable leather radio straps, you can utilize them as a reference. Lay the strap out in a straight line on a flat surface. Measure the length from one end of the strap to the other, including any hardware or attachments contributing to the total length. This method provides a straightforward way to replicate a fit you are already satisfied with.

By following one of these methods, you’ll ensure that the strap you receive is tailored perfectly to your comfort and style.
