Shoulder Piece Size |
14" long by 3" wide where it will cross your shoulder and tapering towards each end. I hand cut the shoulder piece shape to accommodate the leather patch as a strap guide. |
Shoulder Piece Leather |
Thick and rugged high quality vintage harness leather. |
Shoulder Piece Stitching |
Artificial sinew hand sewn into hand punched needle holes. |
Shoulder Piece Distressed Level |
Medium with a pleasant vintage character. No significant cuts, nicks or scrapes. |
Shoulder Piece Notables |
The round leather patch strap guide keeps the rein strap centered on the curved shoulder piece. I’m not sure if the figure represents a branding design, an alien symbol, or some cowboy’s initials that were carved with a pocket knife one lonely night out on the range. Lined with new suede leather on the bottom. |
Strap Style |
Western Rein |
Strap Width |
7/8" |
Strap Leather |
Soft and supple top shelf 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 handsomely aged vintage character that mirrors the shoulder piece. |
Strap Notables |
The rein strap fits snug in the carefully cut and shaped strap slots. Once adjusted for position the shoulder piece will not move without intentional help. Standard or pick-up buttonholes can be punched directly into the strap. |
