| Shoulder Piece Size |
12" long by 2 1/2" wide where it will cross your shoulder and tapering slightly toward the front and 1 1/2" on the tail. |
| Shoulder Piece Leather |
Classy vintage leather, well broken in, and ample thickness to carry a load. |
| Shoulder Piece Stitching |
Artificial sinew hand sewn into my hand punched needle holes. |
| Shoulder Piece Distressed Level |
Medium.. Has a smooth and somewhat shiny surface and a vintage character that wouldn’t embarrass a newer instrument. |
| Shoulder Piece Notables |
I hand cut and shaped this shoulder piece from a 4” wide piece of vintage leather. Matching vintage leather strap guide keeps the rein strap centered on the curved shoulder piece. Lined with new suede leather on the bottom. |
| Strap Style |
Western Rein |
| Strap Width |
5/8" |
| Strap Leather |
Soft and supple harness leather. 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 back side smooth. |
| Strap Distressed Level |
Medium. No cuts, nicks, or battle scars – just a handsome, age darkened western rein strap reflecting a well used vintage character. |
| Strap Notables |
The rein strap is locked snug in the carefully cut and shaped strap slots and the strap guide fits it tight. Once adjusted for position the shoulder piece will not move without intentional help. |
