I checked old threads but posted pics have disappeared. Anyone got Gibson strap pics? Did 50s Les Pauls get shipped with straps like Fenders or was it purchased seperately and anyone have pics handy. I have an old leather strap, looks like it was black originally with a chrome buckle, white padding under the shoulder pad, that's definitely been with the guitar since the 50s.

The straps I've seen were natural leather skinny straps with padded shoulder rest and a nickle buckle, IIRC. Mine fell apart yrs ago.
