If you'd like a rather more elegant version, Leicatime does it in various leather widths.

Me too. Domke straps is the first thing I tell my photo friends about if they ask my advise about gear type stuff. To me nothing looks worse than just about any other strap. But for my IIIF have a very simple artisan and artist cloth strap I got from Photovillage http://www.artisanandartist.com/straps/acam102.htm Which is a cross between a wrist strap almost and neck strap. Its kind of short and non adjustable. Which is a good thing its kind of a new thing you have to change your mind set a little and workflo. Normally my workflo is kill people who use the word "workflo" now I'm doing it. I seldom have a camera around my neck for more than 45 seconds when i'm making change a the Plaid Pantry. I keep the strap around my wrist. I never hang it over a shoulder. I don't trust my shoulder.
