| Shoulder Piece Notables |
Hand cut from a larger piece of vintage leather. I copied this pattern from an old equestrian pulling collar and the curved shape is symmetrical so it would work equally well for a left or right handed player. If you’re a southpaw, be sure to let me know. Otherwise I’ll set it up to cross the left shoulder for a right handed player.The shape would work fine for either a heel button or headstock attachment. All edges dressed and burnished. Lined on the bottom with new suede leather.

| Strap Leather |
Genuine Schutz Bros vintage harness leather - broken in butter soft. A hefty piece of 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 the bottom smooth.
|
| Strap Distressed Level |
Medium. This one has seen some long days on the range but is still in very good condition. Seriously aged darkened and a really well used character but otherwise blemish free.
|
| Strap Notables |
Fits snug in the carefully cut and shaped strap slots and the shoulder piece will not move without intentional help. I cut the Schutz Bros maker mark off the rein and used it for the strap guide which keeps the rein centered on the curved shoulder piece. Includes a full setup to your specs for length and attachment points.
