Handcrafted one-at-a-time, these leather mandolin straps are made in Toronto, Canada using beautiful harness leather from the legendary Wickett & Craig tannery.
They're fully custom and personalized just for you - these mando straps will take on a wonderful rich character with age.
The main strap is 2cm wide, and It has a sliding shoulder pad for extra comfort. The included shoulder pad can also be removed for a slim streamlined look. It has a length range of 115-135cm (45"-53"), and is compatible with both A-style and F-style mandolins. For added comfort and durability, all edges are rounded and burnished smooth. The narrow section which sits under the strings/florentine measures 1.5cm wide by 3mm thick. Please ensure this sizing will work with your instrument. Several colours/configurations are available (see below), and the strap can also be personalized with a unique name/monogram of your choice.

Leather
Every hide is different, and each one will have its own signature look; range markings, scars, and wrinkles give each piece a unique character. The color examples were photographed under natural light, and they're a good representation of how the leather looks in person, but some variation is always to be expected. With regular exposure to dirt and everyday life, the materials will darken and take on a warm patina.
