| Shoulder Piece Size |
14” long by 2 5/8" wide.

| Shoulder Piece Leather |
Very old and well used, western harness leather – the good stuff. Thick, well broken in, and super supple. The color is dark brown.
|
| Shoulder Piece Stitching |
Artificial sinew hand sewn into hand punched needle holes. The stitching goes around the full circumference of the shoulder piece. Oiled leather buckstitching worked thru hand punched diagonal slits.
|
| Shoulder Piece Distressed Level |
Medium. One shallow surface scratch. If you don’t look for it, you’ll never notice it.
|
| Shoulder Piece Notables |
No strap slots. The two contrasting strap guides hold the shoulder piece securely in place. This allows the full bottom area to comfortably spread out the load. Fully dressed and burnished edges and lined wall to wall with new suede leather on the bottom.

| Strap Style |
Western Rein
|
| Strap Width |
5/8"

| Strap Leather |
Exceptional quality and broken in soft and supple. The leather and the color matches the shoulder piece dead on.
|
| Strap Distressed Level |
Medium. Well used and age darkened with some shallow surface checking.
|
| Strap Notables |
An excellent old western rein. I hated to remove any of the leather but I skived it just enough to level out the thickness to a solid 3/16”, re-dressed the bottom edges, and slicked it smooth.
