|
| Shoulder Piece Distressed Level |
Leather is in near perfect condition but I’d rate the distressed level as medium/high based on the vintage character alone.

The strap guide is made from matching vintage leather and keeps the rein strap centered on the curved shoulder piece. Lined with new suede leather on the bottom.

|
| Strap Leather |
Very soft, supple and well broken in harness leather. Noticeably high quality. It was a bit too thick for an instrument strap so I skived the thickness to a heavy 1/8” then dressed and burnished the bottom edges and slicked the bottom smooth.
|
| Strap Distressed Level |
Medium/high. Age darkened and well cared for in a previous life. Perfect match to the shoulder piece.
|
| Strap Notables |
The strap fits snug in the strap guide and the carefully cut and shaped strap slots and it will not slide thru the shoulder piece without intentional help. Includes a set-up to your specs for length and attachment points.
