Billingham Hadley (Pair) Front Straps - Chocolate Leather (Stitched)

Real, full-grain, vegetable tanned leather front straps. Already supplied with bags that have removable ‘Quick Release Straps’. Check the specifications to find compatible straps for your Billingham bag.

Some Billingham bags come with front straps. If you need to replace yours or just fancy a change we sell spares for many of our bags. The 'Hadley Front Straps' are included when you purchase the Hadley Original, Hadley Digital, Hadley Pro, Hadley Small, Hadley Large.

The 'Hadley' and 'Hadley One' and 'Hadley Pro 2020' Front Straps are the same size, the only difference being that they are either stitched or unstitched. 'Hadley Front Straps' feature Stitching. 'Hadley One' and 'Hadley Pro 2020' are unstitched. Choose the style that you prefer!

If you are replacing your front straps after many years, it is likely that the leather will be a little different in colour to the leather on your bag. Firstly as a natural product there is variation between batches - we try our best to keep the colours of our leather within a set of tolerances, but as leather is a natural product it can be very hard to keep colours consistent to match something from many years ago. Leather does change in colour slightly over time.

Our front straps open and close using our Quick Release System. The front straps can be pulled up from the tip and go up and off the brass clogball attached to most of our bags. Many of our bags have buckles, but this is just for fine tuning the capacity inside the bag. You do not need to take the front straps off the buckles every time you use them, this is only for occasional adjusting. Because of this, it should be very difficult for you to lose your front straps.

CLEANING AND CARE

Billingham bags are designed to grow old gracefully! Professional photographers usually prefer a well-worn, battle-scarred Billingham to a new clean version; however, you may wish to reduce the grime level on your Billingham so here are a few tips:

• Remove any padded inserts, dividers and the base foam.
• DON'T put your Billingham into a washing machine; the detergent will almost certainly ruin the leather.
• DON'T dry clean your Billingham.
• Place the bag on a draining board and wash the bag with warm soapy water, using a nail brush on stubborn areas of dirt (don't submerge the bag in the water).
• Wash all soap away with clear water and allow to dry naturally (airing cupboard) or at least without too much heat. Excessive heat might affect the Stormblock waterproofing or the leather. Also, DON'T put the bag in a tumble dryer or equivalent device.
• When the bag is dry carefully apply leather dressing to the binding and leather areas. We recommend Mars oil or Nikwax. Try not to mark the canvas when you are applying the dressing.

The canvas is tough, the dyestuff resistant and Billingham Stormblock waterproofing is incredible, but hard scrubbing might lighten the colour and excessive heat or exposure to acids (such as battery acid) might spoil the Stormblock so please go carefully!

PLEASE NOTE:

• When storing the bag, we would strongly recommend that you make sure the bag is dry first and is stored in a clean and dry place to prevent bad smells or mould developing. Storing it in a shed or garage is usually a bad idea.
• The cleaning instructions for removable padded inserts and dividers are the same as for the bags themselves above.
• We would especially recommend against petroleum-based shoe polishes for treating the leather as they can cause the leather to dry out over time.
