Thick and butter soft, oil tanned harness leather – the good stuff. About 3/16” in thickness including the suede leather lining on the bottom.

|
| Strap Style |
Western Rein
|
| Strap Width |
3/8"
|
| Strap Leather |
Solid, supple, and old harness leather. I skived the original thickness down to just a bit to level things out then hand dressed and burnished the edges the full length and slicked it smooth on the underside.
|
| Strap Distressed Level |
Medium/high. Age darkened and generally very well used looking.
|
| Strap Notables |
Strap slots were carefully cut and shaped to grip the rein strap tight and the shoulder piece will not slide on the strap without intentional help. The front end is already set up with an adjustable loop (+/- 2” or so) that could get under a fret extension if needed. Standard or pick-up buttonholes will be added at the buyers specified length.
