Big Couch fan here but just picked up one of these from JayKco:
Needed something to hold the weight of the guitar (a 1980 Greco Les Paul that's a seriously heavy chunk of wood). What I liked about these is that they're backed with suede, not seatbelt webbing (I hate that stuff 'cause it slides on T-shirts and burns on skin) and there are no rivets - everything is sewn. Really, really nice feel - feels like a vintage Ace but better made. In Kansas City, but find 'em here: http://www.jaykco.com
I will be venturing into the den of the lion today to acquire a strap and locks for my 8 string.. I haven't bought a strap in easily 13 years. I hope they aren't battery powered or some shit now..

Italia usually has a 2-for-1 or less sale... I've been digging 3" (or 4") wide leather strap for a while now. Actually want to get another, but I'd rather have someone split the cost of one with me instead of getting 2 straps to myself

Yes, I love my Levy's strap, same size. Sonidero turned me on to the idea of using Grolsch bottle gaskets as strap-locks and I've never gone back.

If it has a strap on it, it has grolsch locks around here. ...Also, from Sonidero Had the pleasure of consuming them together on more than one occasion
