I like to shop for straps at local stores. To see it and feel it. Last time I needed a strap for an OM sized acoustic, I found a (unobtrusively) Fender branded strap in aged looking leather. Love it.
I prefer single layer (not stitched bi-layer and never (ever) a buckle!) 2" (5cm) straps like this and the shorter they are the better because I play instruments well up on my chest (faux classical position using a strap). Most of my straps are at their shortest possible adjustment already...

With Emeralds I've found that the location of the upper bout strap pin above the neck heel already needs a strap that's about 4"-6" (10-15 cm) shorter than my other guitars. In both cases (X20 and X30) I've had to punch new holes in straps and then cut off the over long tip. I expect that the Amicus is going to need an even shorter strap, which is why I posed the question.
