<h4>Just right, and then some</h4>
<p>We’ve been looking for a camera strap for our <span class="caps">SLR</span> with two things in mind, comfort and style. As much as we love our <a href="http://wnt.st/nikon-d60-amazon">D60</a>, Nikon’s bright yellow broadcast across our shoulder simply won’t do. Our search uncovered all kinds of options at the ends of the spectrum, boring and functional, and cute and girlie, until we found <a href="http://wnt.st/rileyg-strapworks">RileyG</a>, our Goldilocks camera strap.</p>
<p>Pro-photographer Aaron Wilcox saw the same hole in the marketplace. On a trip to the music store Aaron’s young son Riley wandered over to the guitar straps, drawn to them for their colorful and crazy designs. Right away Aaron questioned, why aren’t there exciting options like these for camera people?</p>

<div class="chunk">
<h4>Straps from scraps</h4>
<p>Made from a variety of truly limited edition materials, Aaron and Riley source the leathers and fabrics for the straps at their neighborhood auto shop, local fabric store and other interesting origins where scraps are produced. Perhaps you prefer a Victorian tapestry floral, or maybe the supple leathers of Mercedes and Mustangs from the golden age of automobiles is more your style.</p>
</div>
<div class="chunk">
<h4>In stories</h4>
<p>We’re suckers for a good family+business story and we quickly found ourselves clicking page after page through Aaron’s tales of his business from <a href="http://wnt.st/rileyg-strapworks-the-beginning">initial inspiration</a>, <a href="http://wnt.st/rileyg-strapworks-renting-sewing-machine">renting his first sewing machine</a>, <a href="http://wnt.st/rileyg-strapworks-sourcing-fabrics">sourcing fabrics</a>, and <a href="http://wnt.st/rileyg-strapworks-local-vs-china">determinedly fighting to keep his production 100% American</a> in the face of rapid growth. Even more heartening, is Aaron’s young muse, son Riley, who cruises with him around Encinitas as Aaron visits suppliers and vendors.</p>
</div>
<div class="chunk">
<h4>You’re trustworthy</h4>
<p>Rounding out this already lovable brand is a friendly return policy. Anytime someone gets it so right we have to share:</p>
<div class="chunk blockquote" style="border: 1px #CCCCCC solid; background: #EEE; padding: 18px; width: 388px;">
<p>Our return policy is pretty simple; any strap: any time, any reason. At RileyG, we assume our customers are intelligent and trustworthy. If we extend our trust to you, we know that you will in return treat us fairly. We assume, if you want to return the strap, you have a good reason, and we’ll leave it to you. We aim to have the best customer experience possible, and that includes ensuring you are perfectly happy with your RileyG camera strap.</p>
