Strip of leather (5)

I think it could be either:

thong

strap

'strip of leather' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for thong that I've seen before include "G-string" , "Leather strip that forms the flexible part of a whip: excuse for underwear" , "Strip of leather used for fastening" , "Thin leather strip" , "Narrow strip of leather (or other material)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Independent.
