Material and workmanship
Material and workmanship
Cowhide leather
Sealed, water-repellent surface. Slight differences in colour and texture between cuts come from the material and are not a fault.
Three colours, two ways to wear it
Black disappears under a dark jacket or blazer. Brown and light brown show the grain and the seams; those two are made to be worn openly over a shirt or jumper. Same leather, same price: €54.98.
Triple-reinforced nylon seams
At the strap anchors, the buckle and the compartment edges, three seams run on top of each other instead of one. Those are the points where a bag gives up first.
Metal buckles, reinforced zips
Adjustment runs over metal buckles rather than plastic clips. The zips are built for daily use, and the press stud on the flap pocket opens one-handed.
Water-repellent
Rain and splashes bead off. Water-repellent does not mean waterproof: in prolonged heavy rain moisture can get in. Then dab it dry and let it air-dry.
New, and therefore still firm
Every sling is freshly made and reaches you unworn. The leather is stubborn at first: compartments and straps sit tighter in the first few days than later. After one or two weeks of everyday use the leather gives, shapes itself around what you put in every day, and then stays that way. That is not a defect; it is the reason the sling fits better after a month than on day one.
Size and fit
Size and fit
One size, infinitely adjustable
90 cm of strap, adjustable over its whole length using metal buckles, from a summer T-shirt to over a thick winter coat. It fits at 1.65 m just as at 1.95 m, on women as on men.
Under a jacket or openly over it
Set tighter, the sling lies flat under a jacket or blazer and adds no bulk. Two adjustments looser and it sits over a shirt, hoodie or jumper. Switching takes seconds and you do not need a second product for it.
Measurements
Strap length approx. 90 cm, height approx. 46.5 cm, width per side panel approx. 15.2 cm, strap width approx. 3 cm. Those 3 cm lie flat on your shoulder, with no cutting edge.
What 8.5 cm and 4.5 cm mean
8.5 × 18.1 cm is the flap pocket with a press stud, the smartphone compartment. An iPhone 15 Pro Max fits in there with its case, as do Max and Ultra models. 4.5 cm is the flat slip pocket on the opposite side for cards, folded notes or a pen.
Worn on both sides, unisex
One side panel under your left arm and one under your right. The straps cross into an X at your back, nothing crosses your chest, and the load sits on both shoulders instead of at one point on your neck.
The first few days
A Pro Max or Ultra with a thick protective case goes into the flap pocket tightly at first. The compartment gives a little after a few days of use, and then it slides in. The same goes for the straps: set them once, wear it, and after a short while they rest against you instead of pressing.
Care
Care
Wiping it down
A dry or slightly damp cloth is all the leather needs day to day. No soap, no cleaning agents, no washing machine.
Got wet?
Dab it dry and let it air-dry at room temperature. Not on a radiator, not in direct sun, or the leather will go hard.
No care products needed
The surface is given a water-repellent finish at the factory. Leather grease, balm or solvents are not needed and can attack the surface.
Marks from use
Fine marks on edges and contact surfaces belong to a piece that is worn every day. They are not a defect and do not weaken the material.
Smell
When new it carries a smell of its own from manufacturing. That settles after one or two weeks in the air.
Breaking-in period
Over the first one or two weeks the sling becomes noticeably more supple, the edges round off and the compartments take the shape of their contents. Wear the sling daily during that time and afterwards you have a piece that fits as though made for you. Please leave any care until after that; before then it does not need any.

Two ways to wear it
What sets the Body Sling apart
Two ways to wear it, four compartments, cowhide leather. What that means day to day:
Two ways to wear it, no compromise
Flat and discreet under a jacket or blazer. Over a shirt or jumper a visible piece of leather in black, brown or light brown.
At the front of your body, not on your back
Both side panels sit at chest height in your line of sight. On the metro, at the gate, in a crowd, nobody reaches them in passing.
Four compartments, one job each
Flap pocket with a press stud, 8.5 × 18.1 cm: a 6.9-inch smartphone fits in with its case. Plus two zipped compartments and a slip pocket for cards.
Both hands stay free
X-strap over both shoulders: 3 cm wide, 90 cm long, infinitely adjustable, unisex. Lead, handlebars, suitcase: you grab hold without putting anything down.
Cowhide leather, triple-stitched
Unbuffed grain layer, reinforced nylon seams at every stress point. After a few weeks the sling settles into your shoulder line and becomes more supple.
Water-repellent
Rain and splashes bead off and the leather does not soak through. It is not waterproof: after a shower, dab it dry and let it air-dry.

The material
Cowhide leather that comes along every day
Cowhide leather with a water-repellent surface. It gives rather than cracks.
That is why it is firm and a little stubborn when new. After one or two weeks of wear it becomes more supple and settles into your shoulder line.
Black disappears under a dark jacket. Brown and light brown show the grain and the seams when worn openly.

What customers say after the first few weeks
Perfect for the city and genuinely secure
"I have worn the sling daily in Vienna for three weeks now. Phone, card holder and keys fit perfectly. Far safer than a trouser pocket, especially in a crowd."
I wear it openly over my shirt
"In Barcelona I wore it openly over my T-shirt, in brown. It looks like part of the outfit, not like a bag. Phone and cards sat at the front of my chest, and nobody got near them on the metro."
The ultimate travel companion
"Perfect for the airport. Passport and tickets right at my chest, no endless digging through a backpack. It saved me a huge amount of stress at boarding."
High quality and extremely practical
"The leather feels really high quality. The zips run smoothly. Ideal for festivals, concerts and big crowds. Your hands stay free."
Both hands free at the market
"At the Saturday market I have both hands free for the baskets and still keep card and phone at the front. The strap adjusts to a jacket in seconds."
Under the blazer and after it too
"In meetings I wear it under my blazer, where it adds no bulk at all. Afterwards I take the blazer off and simply leave it on; the leather looks good over a shirt. That is exactly why I bought it."
Finally, empty trouser pockets
"I hated how bulging my trousers always looked. My iPhone Pro Max, the car key and the AirPods all fit in here easily. Great investment."
The strap tightens far enough
"On many slings the strap hangs too low if you have a slimmer build. Here the adjustment goes far enough, and the metal buckle does not slip during the day."
Surprisingly hard-wearing
"I was sceptical at first, but the leather really is firm and grippy. Small marks from use barely show, and it is lighter than I expected."
My most important piece of kit in Asia
"I am backpacking through South-East Asia right now. The sling has become my most important piece of kit. Passport and cash always at my chest. Highly recommended."
Bought the twin pack straight away
"I went straight for the Stealth Duo twin pack for my wife and me. Our Paris trip was completely stress-free with them. Great quality."
Everything in one place, no more searching
"Wallet, keys and reading glasses are all in one place now. When shopping I no longer have to pat down four jacket pockets, and the fastener opens even with cold fingers."
Wears as lightly as a T-shirt
"Very well made. Nothing presses or scratches at the neck, even with every compartment packed full. It really does wear almost like a T-shirt."
Ideal for dog owners
"I use the bag every day on dog walks. Treats, poo bags, phone: everything has its place and my hands stay free for the dog. Brilliant."
Does not shift at all on the bike
"I ride my gravel bike around the city a lot. The sling sits close to the body, does not shift and gets in the way of pedalling not at all. Exactly what I was looking for."
Goodbye messy handbag
"At last I do not have to dig through my huge handbag. The things I need most are right on me now. And it looks genuinely smart and clean too."
Always to hand when commuting
"I take the train to work every day. Ticket and phone are right at the front without taking the bag off. It sits just as well seated as standing."
Great over a winter coat too
"The strap opens far enough to fit over a thick jacket as well. The workmanship is clean, the seams sit right and the zip does not catch anywhere."
Good sling, short break-in
"Quality and layout are right, phone and a small wallet fit in well. It took me a few goes to get the strap sitting properly — after that, great."

What customers wear it for
Five situations where trouser pockets and a backpack reach their limits, worn under a jacket or openly over it.
City break
Passport, phone and card at the front of your chest, out of reach on the metro and at the station.
Business and trade fairs
Under a blazer it adds no bulk. At the coffee break without the blazer it simply stays on.
Cycling
Sits on your upper body and does not swing forward, even leaning over the handlebars.
Festivals and concerts
Both hands free, everything important at the front of your chest instead of in a back pocket.
Dogs and everyday life
Lead in one hand, bag in the other. Keys and phone within reach.

The most common questions before buying
Under a jacket or openly over it — how do you wear it?
Under a jacket or openly over it — how do you wear it?
Both, and it is built for both. Under a jacket, blazer or coat nothing shows through: the compartments are built to smartphone depth, not to volume, and the sling lies flat against your chest. Openly over a shirt, hoodie or jumper it is a visible piece of leather — cowhide, metal buckles, clean edges.
The colour follows from that: black disappears under dark clothing, brown and light brown come into their own worn openly. Only under a thin T-shirt will you see the outlines, in which case it is better worn over the top.
Will the Body Sling fit at my height?
Will the Body Sling fit at my height?
One size for everyone: 90 cm of strap, infinitely adjustable over metal buckles. The same adjustment range covers both ways of wearing it — set tight, the sling sits under a shirt and blazer; opened up, it sits over a jumper or winter coat. The straps run over both shoulders and cross into an X at your back; nothing crosses your chest. So it fits at 1.65 m just as at 1.95 m, on women as on men.
Will my large smartphone fit?
Will my large smartphone fit?
Yes. The patch flap pocket with a press stud is the smartphone compartment: 8.5 cm wide, 18.1 cm deep; an iPhone Pro Max and a Galaxy Ultra fit with their cases. On top of that there are two zipped compartments and a flat slip pocket, four in total. In practice that means a large phone, card holder, keyring and passport at the same time, and your trouser pockets stay empty.
One thing up front: the sling arrives factory-new, and new leather is stubborn. A Pro Max or Ultra with a thick case goes in tightly during the first few days. The compartment gives a little after a few days of use and the device slides in more easily. If you use a particularly thick rugged case, it is best to take it off for the compartment.
Does it press after hours, and do you sweat under it in summer?
Does it press after hours, and do you sweat under it in summer?
The X-strap system spreads the weight over both shoulders and your back instead of pulling at one point on your neck; the 3 cm straps lie flat, with no cutting edge. In summer there is one layer of leather on your shirt: warmer than without, but far less than under a backpack, because your back stays free. Set the straps properly once, or the sling will wander forward.
In the first few days the leather is still firm, because it is factory-new. It can feel a little stiffer at first than later on. After one or two weeks of wear it is soft, settles into your shoulder line and you barely notice it.
And if I do not like it, how does returning it work?
And if I do not like it, how does returning it work?
You have 30 days to wear it day to day, plus the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal. You bear the direct cost of returning it; if the goods are faulty we cover it. You register the return under Returns and are refunded the full purchase price once it arrives.
