About Native Sons Goods

There are straps…
and then there are the ones players keep for the rest of their lives.

Founded in 2012 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Native Sons Goods was built on a simple idea: make the best guitar straps in the world and make them here in the USA.

Every strap is cut, sewn, riveted, and finished in our century-old adobe studio near the rail yards in Barelas — a neighborhood shaped by freight trains, desert dust, late-night music, and generations of makers.

We build our straps from double layers of vegetable-tanned English bridle leather sourced from Wickett & Craig, one of America’s oldest tanneries, crafting leather since 1867. Their leather is known for deep character, unmatched durability, and a patina that only gets better with time.

The construction is deliberate:
box stitching, solid rivets, industrial sewing, metal hardware in nickel and antique brass, and webbing options in both hemp and nylon. Built for long nights, heavy instruments, endless miles, and the kind of players who disappear into the music.

Over the years, a loyal following has formed around Native Sons Goods — musicians, collectors, touring artists, and everyday players who know the feeling of finding gear that simply feels right from the first moment.

Our straps are made to age with you.
To carry marks from stages, studios, highways, rehearsals, and songs not yet written.

Even the packaging is part of the ritual — designed to feel less like a purchase and more like the discovery of something meant to be kept.

Because the best gear doesn’t just hold an instrument.

It becomes part of the instrument.
