Levy's guitar straps at Lauzon Music
What Levy's is known for
Levy's began in 1973, when Dennis Levy took a set of leather-working tools as payment for a job instead of cash and started making guitar straps. He and his wife Cheryl built that into Levy's Leathers Ltd. The company works in several leathers, from veg-tan carving leather and drum-dyed garment leather to suede and Crazy Horse, and many of its straps, the Signature Legacy, Stratus, Amped and Like Butter among them, are hand-crafted in Nova Scotia.

Questions
Levys questions, answered
Where are Levy's straps made?
Levy's lists many of its leather straps, including the Signature Legacy, Stratus, Amped, Top Grain and Like Butter, as hand-crafted in Nova Scotia, Canada, and the Sundance as made there.
What's the difference between garment leather, veg-tan and suede?
Veg-tan is a firm leather that takes embossing and tooling. Garment leather is softened top-grain, thinner and supple, and Levy's drum-dyes it for full colour. Suede is buffed to a soft nap.
Which Levy's strap suits a heavy guitar or bass?
Go wide and padded. The 3-inch Signature Legacy has leather-wrapped foam padding, and we also carry a 4 1/2-inch wide garment leather strap that spreads the weight further.
How long are Levy's straps?
It depends on the model. The Signature Legacy adjusts from 38 to 52 inches, the Sundance from 37 to 52, and the Like Butter from 48 to 55 1/2. Ask us in the chat for the range on a specific strap.
Do you ship Levy's straps to the US?
Yes. Levy's straps ship insured, free over $200 across Canada and the US, and US orders carry no duty.
