What's A Trouser Strap?
Ever gotten your nice new duds caught in the chain while cycling? Or simply found grease on them at the end of your ride? A trouser strap (also known as a cycling pants band or strap) is designed to wrap around your ankle and keep your pants in check, protecting them. This product pays for itself the first time you ride!
We make our strap with goat leather and harmonic steel (think slap bracelets), resulting in a stylish and durable strap that feels good and wraps around your ankle with the flick of a wrist.
Already on board and want your own? Us, too. To place your order and reserve yours, scroll down. Want to learn more? Check out our FAQ.

Testimonials
"Nice trouser strap! It felt great, stayed put, and kept my pants in check for my entire commute! " - Joel V.
"I love fairly traded products. I love cycling - especially with this strap. Keep it up! " - Liz E.
"I used to be so frustrated... at least once a month, I'd arrive to work to find chain grease on my pants. Now that problem's been solved! Y'alls strap has paid for itself several times over. I also love that it's a fair trade product, and I'm helping women workers across the world." - Jessica C.
"Its refreshing to see such a young company hit the ball out of the park. I'd settled for low quality, velcro pants bands before. Now, after trying faircycle's, I'll never go back." - Will G.
