Some years ago I bought black leather strips in a store here in my town and
made holes in them for my SL35 and lens cases. Very strong and reliable,
old ones were worn-out. If you can buy the leather, a good cobbler can
rivet it to your old clips.

I think that I've saved my own clips from my leather straps in case I ever
needed them. The textile solution felt better to me, though, in the end.
Again, this isn't the exact strap that I bought, and I likely wouldn't have
purchased one that hadn't been sold from either in the UK or Europe
(pre-Brexit). The selection does seem to have changed. I remember seeing a
better array of possibilities at the time.
Anyway, best of luck on your hunt!
Cheers,
Dave

Hi Dave,
those would be fine, although I would really would like to reuse my old
clips. But the Chinese seller says explicitly “Doesn’t post to Germany” in
this auction.

Hi Jan,
Do you prefer the old leather straps? The reason I ask, I've been using a
newer weaved cotton (I think) strap, complete with the original style
clips. Something like, though not exactly like, this:

And I've been much happier and felt more confident about my camera's
safety ever since.
Best wishes,
Dave

Hi Everyone,
during my vacation in the Northeastern United States my Rolleiflex 3.4E
leather strap broke. Does anyone know a good leather repair person in
Europe, who can fit a new solid leather strap on the original Rollei
“crocodile" clips? Or where can I buy these straps.
Fortunately, the strap broke when I took the camera out of the camera bag,
not when I was carrying it around my neck.
I also had a Maxwel screen for the Rolleiflex SL66 shipped to me within
the US and had three 120 film develped by LeZot Camera in Burlington,
Vermont, while I was in the state, avoiding potential fogging with the
airport X-ray. And yes, LeZot can actually process 120 Ektachrome 100.
