| Shoulder Piece Size |
12 1/2" long by 2 1/4" wide. The slightly curved shape would work for a headstock attachment but would prefer a heel button attachment or fastened to the bracket bolts on a banjo.
|
| Shoulder Piece Leather |
Tooling leather, which is a little harder than harness leather but it will hold the tooling details indefinitely. Excellent quality and broken in supple and very flexible.
|
| Shoulder Piece Stitching |
Artificial sinew hand sewn into the original needle holes.
|
| Shoulder Piece Distressed Level |
Medium/low. No checking, blems or battle scars.
|
| Shoulder Piece Notables |
This was the prime section of an old equestrian breast collar and the intricate tooling details are still sharp. Email me if you’d like some closer photos. Since the shoulder piece doesn’t slide on the strap to adjust position I’ll also need an additional measurement to properly locate it for you. The bottom of the shoulder piece is lined with new suede leather.

| Strap Style |
Western Rein
|
| Strap Width |
5/8"
|
| Strap Leather |
Butter soft, top shelf harness leather. Lightly skived to level out the thickness, with original hand dressed and burnished top edges. I dressed and burnished the bottom edges and slicked it smooth on the back side.
|
| Strap Distressed Level |
Medium/low. Age darkened and no issues.
|
| Strap Notables |
A few inches on each were skived thin enough to make a neat and flexible connection to the shoulder piece and securely fastened with two rows of double stitched artificial sinew. Includes a custom set-up to your specs for length and attachment points.
