Beautiful strap, just not long enough

It's a beautifully made leather strap, and I love it. Almost. It's just too short. I'm a large man (size 54 jacket) and the long one, which is supposed to work as a cross body strap, is little more than a neck strap for me (22 inch neck, ex wrestler). It's partly my fault for not researching deeper the lengths and measuring some of my existing straps. Another 6-8 inches and it would work for me.
I've use a variety of straps depending on what I'm doing, so the Peak Design anchors work well for flexibility. I'm using the Form Standard with my Fujifilm X100VI, but I could use it with my X-T5 and the 50-140 f2.8 zoom, which is pretty substantial: it's wide enough to be comfortable with both. I've used the X100VI with the Leash and the Cuff. The Form doesn't have as many metal parts the Leash has, which makes it better for rolling up and stuffing in a small bag attached to the camera if I need to put the camera away since I carry a camera everywhere and it's not always OK to have it out, and less metal prevents scratching the camera in the bag. I've used another nylon strap, the Simplr strap which I like a lot, but it doesn't use the Anchors, so I can't swap straps easily. I'm happy with the Form, and might pick up a short one just for binoculars hanging from the neck. I'm a 5ft 10in male, and the Standard hangs well from neck and I can sling it cross-body and slide the camera from my back to my eye easily. I've used the Form daily a little over a month, and it shows no wear.
Love the Form - leather, which I purchased for my OM5. Initially the leather is a little stiff, but just work it with your hands a little and it loosens right up! Very nice. As much as I like it, I do feel it’s a bit pricey for what it is.
I’ve waited a long time for peak design to release a leather strap, I’m 6’ 1” and the standard is perfect length for me. The colour is perfect and the quality of the leather feels good (you have to give it a few years to see how it wears!). Recommended!
