Our Materials The Bridle Butt that we use is exclusively from a Walsall, UK, based tanner called J & E Sedgwick . Sedgwick leather is some of the finest bridle leather available anywhere in the world, and is a key part of our commitment to producing products to the very highest standards. The cost of the leather in each of our products is many times more than those of some of our competitors, however we feel that the investment is a worthwhile necessity in our drive to produce the best products that we possibly can. We have leather in a broad variety of colours, all of which are permanently died as part of the tanning proccess. The thread we use is always twisted linen thread that is hand waxed before use. . We generally use 18/4 thread which is used in weight bearing saddlery such as bridles and headcollars. All of our items are over engineered for the applications they are intended for - we believe in longevity and manufacture accordingly. The hardware that we use in our products depends on the nature of the product and the wishes of our customer. Much of our work uses solid Brass fittings. Brass is a strong material that is both lustrous, eye catching and smart. For applications where a silver coloured material is called for we use either Stainless Steel or solid Nickel. Neither material, in common with brass, will rust meaning they are suitable in environments where they will be exposed to the elements. Stainless Steel has a bright, clean finish where as Nickel has a deep, rich lustre and is perhaps more aesthetically pleasing. Our Products Restoration of Vintage and Antique Leather Cases |
