I remember the straps too. Nice comfy shoulder pad with Selmer embossed on it.
Anyone know if you can get straps like that now?

Selmer have moved out of the guitar, amplifier and accessory markets. But there's always this:

They come standard with vintage re-issue strats.

Sorry!- but No to those straps- when playing a long gig, the shoulder pad moves about when it's worn, and the thin strap cuts into your shoulder- the wide leather straps work better!

As for Hank's hair in that shot...all that 'greasy kid stuff' Brylcreem, errrk!

Yes, that's correct. I have one and I'd say it's no more or no less comfortable than other straps. It doesn't have 'Selmer' embossed on it. though!

Cheers.
