BubbaVO Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I sent an email on Friday and Matt responded saying that one of you not named CMatthes snagged the last one. Who ever it was - well played. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmatthes Posted July 30, 2022 Author Share Posted July 30, 2022 Couch reached out to me the other day and asked if I’d overnight a strap to California. Apparently, Rickenbacker was doing a photo shoot and specifically asked for that strap. Since Couch had used every bit of the fabric I had, sending a strap out was the only option. Still more coming, but they wanted to showcase California companies doing a checkerboard theme… 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s start a petition for them to source some apropos checkerboard fabric and make some ‘official’ HFC straps, dammit! Yeah. Let’s not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthes Posted July 30, 2022 Author Share Posted July 30, 2022 It took me over a decade to find the material I did find. I haven’t found any more since then (again, over another decade of searching). We’ve been down the path of trying to get cool HFC straps made, but disagreement or lack of interest from a few strap makers killed that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottcald Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I'd like to see them do one but maybe the strap is black and there's a racing strip of checkerboard akin to the stripe under the early 80s logo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
