Issues with the HG-SCL7 Elk Leather Strap

Pre-ordered the HG-SCL7 Elk leather handstrap two months ago and just got it on 21 June 2024.  Used it about 3x and it started to fray after about 1 week of use.

This is how it looks like on 29 June 2024......

The nylon strap is too thin as compared to the previous version of the Leica S Handstrap.

Just wondering if anyone has the same problem with their elk leather strap.  If yes, Leica has to change it to a thicker nylons strap.

I recall remarking to my Leica sales manager how thin it was and true enough, it can't even last a week.  Not sure if it was a manufacturing defect or it is unable to stand the weight of the 90-280mm.

I just bought one a couple weeks ago. No problem yet, buy I’ll keep an eye on it. I must say, I love it. Thanks for the post, but sorry for the reason.

Sorry for you and thank you for the post. I got mine 1 month ago and I extensively used it on safari with the "heavy" 90-280 and so far no issue. I'll keep an eye on it.
