To be honest I bought it only because of a pattern that reminds me the pattern on a carpet at my parents' house. I use it with my electric bass guitar and what I can say, it's a thin strap and not that soft as i expected from a strap. Basically it's kinda textile one with no softening parts. As for me it suits all my needs, so i'm happy, but i wouldn't buy it for my electric guitar which i play much more
