Re: Star-Lord Bag, professionally made (pic heavy!)
I'm gonna go with 7 or at least 4.
I'm pretty sure the straps are supposed to be a little darker than 2.
And I just noticed something about this strap.
I don't know if it's a snap or rivet, but I think it's fixed upside down.

It's hard to tell the color based on how weathered the straps are. Number 2 would take a lot of effort to bring it to the weathered color. Number 4 would be a lot easier to match and probably wear really well naturally. My vote is 4.

I would say 7 as well. With some weathering, 7 can look closer to 4

Number 7 works.

Re: Star-Lord Bag, professionally made (pic heavy!)
However, I was always assumend the strap leather for Star Lord bag was more like the ones people use for stuffs like a belt.
I may be wrong about this and that piece of leather could actually be thicker than it looks.
But I think the strap leather should be thicker than this.
Color looks good to me.

I'm still concerned about the strap length and how the bag will sit on someone as short as myself. I'm 5' 4".
If that's a movie accurate length then the bag might sit very low, since that is sized for someone 6' 2".

Since I'm 6'2" and measured it on myself... Yep. If anyone can come up with a good strong design using snaps, I'm open to it!

I would think the best solution would be to have a strap custom-made for someone that needs it to be shorter.

The person who will actually be using the one I'm buying is 5'5" so its a little on the long side but I understand an adjustable strap is not really an option based on the design of the bag. Maybe offering 3 sizes of strap would be something that could work. 5'4" - 5'7", 5'8 - 5'11", 6' - 6'3" etc.

It would be, but I am not sure how the manufacturers feel about this (I can ask) and I know it makes it more complicated for me AND them, having to make them differently, label them, keep them separate and organized etc. Not saying it can't happen, just that it's definitely more work.
The design is part of the problem, yes. What do you shorten? The front strap? The back strap? Does the shoulder pad get shortened? If the back is shorter, do the flat studs get smooshed closer together? Do you take length off the wide part, the narrow part, or both? :/ Like I said, if someone has a good (and specific) idea, I'm very open to it!

I would take a little off the short strap and a little from the back side of the long strap. Keep anything with rivets/studs exactly the same and take from areas that are plain. It needs to look correct and to scale on the person wearing it. Taking a inch from a long straight piece with no discernable detail is really the only way to do it. I'll get on my computer in a bit to highlight exactly where to take from.

Re: Star-Lord Bag, professionally made (pic heavy!)
This is what I came up with for sizing solutions. Red lines indicate where the size difference is cut from. Leaving all else alone this would be the place to remove material to make it shorter without changing the way the piece looks overall.
2 sizes of each strap. If you need it shorter, pick option B/D, medium A/D or B/C depending on preference, longer A/C. Sizes are just approximations (guesses), I haven't measured anything, I just included them for general reference.
