Shoulder Piece Size |
12" long by 2 1/2" wide where it will cross your shoulder and tapering to 1 3/4" at the back end. |
Shoulder Piece Leather |
Amazingly soft and supple vintage leather. It doesn’t get any better than this. |
Shoulder Piece Stitching |
Artificial sinew hand sewn into hand punched needle holes. |
Shoulder Piece Distressed Level |
Medium. An old and genuine vintage character. Aged darkened with some surface checking but overall the leather is still in great shape. |
Shoulder Piece Notables |
I hand cut and shaped the shoulder piece from an old saddle fender which is a leather shield protecting the cowboy’s leg from sagebrush and thorns. The curved shape favors the right shoulder of a left handed player. Lined on the bottom with new suede leather. |
Strap Style |
Western Rein |
Strap Width |
3/4" |
Strap Leather |
Beautiful top shelf vintage leather, totally broken in to a butter softness. Skived slightly to level out the thickness to 3/16”. Original hand dressed and burnished top edges. I also dressed and burnished the new bottom edges and slicked the bottom smooth. |
Strap Distressed Level |
Medium. No checking or serious battle scars – just a handsome dark oil western rein strap with a nice vintage character mirroring the shoulder piece. |
Strap Notables |
The rein is locked snug in the strap slots and the strap guide fits it tight. The shoulder piece will stay anchored in place unless intentionally moved. |
