I was just looking at the inner sleeve of an Albert King CD and noticed I had the same identical Guitar strap, soft leather and very comfortable but prone to slippage, I also noticed that he also had to use rubber washers to stop this from happening.
Tip Many years ago whilst reading a Guitar Mag someone suggested using the rubber seals off of the Grolsch beer bottles, which I did and have to say it worked a treat. With the plus side being you get to drink the contents 
(or ask Dad, for the under-aged )
This may be old hat to a lot of you, or there may be something else out there already, but I thought it a useful tip for new players.

You could glue them to the bottom of your stool legs , you wouldn't want any nasty accidents whilst playing on smooth surfaces. Make it a four legged stool just for extra safety

Mhhh Gerd, euh..... Europe ? You don't really think that in the Netherlands we would use "Flens" don't you ? 
Grolsch is a Dutch Beer brand So why would we wanna use a foreign Brand 
hehe

The pictures of the Flensburger beers bring back a LOT of memories. I had the good fortune to live in Flensburg from 1982-1985. You might say I did a lot of taste testing. It does look like the line has expanded some....I don't remember some of them (or maybe I never got past the pils.

We read the same Aussie guitar magazine, SOG! :-) I've been using those Grolsch seals since reading the tip too.
I use these Aussie made straps which are wide and comfortable:
