Although I have no problem rocking the original strap that comes with my SLR, I know a few [photographers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moncler-leica) who are irked by the large branding on it; the solution may be to simply purchase this Classic Camera Strap.

A great alternative to the “walking billboard” strap, as Uncrate.com puts it, it’s stylish enough to complement any attire. Even though I’m not bothered by the original, I would definitely pick up this Classic Camera Strap.
