The Leather: Wickett & Craig Full Grain English Bridle is vegetable-tanned using a special blend of tree barks including mimosa and quebracho. Hides soak for two weeks to ensure deep absorption. They are then drum-dyed for color and fat-liquored with conditioning oils and waxes. English Bridle and Harness leathers undergo an additional hot-stuffing process, infusing them with waxes and tallows for enhanced color and durability. Gum-pasted on the flesh side to provide a smooth, uniform look and feel. These are large beautiful sides; sourced from North American cattle of European stock.
Labor-intensive and incredibly appealing, English Bridle is a traditional leather with a variety of uses, from classic equestrian gear to high-end leather goods. Drum dyed and hot stuffed, English Bridle is smooth, flexible yet durable. Beautifully crafted with a flawless, even surface.
