The leather is 100% vegetable pit tanned, a traditional English tanning process that takes several months to complete. After tanning, the leather is hand-dyed and hand-stuffed with a blend of fats and waxes. Bridle leather is known for its strength and durability, as well as its smooth feel and depth of color. It was historically used for horse bridles and saddlery, meaning that high levels of performance over many years was a necessity.
