Dyed Traditional English Saddle Leather is made from Vegetable Tanned Leather. This leather is traditionally tanned in pits to ensure that the grain of the leather is as smooth as possible.
The Leather is drum dyed to facilitate the colour of the flesh and grain which results in a deeper colour and therefore better finish to the leather. All Traditional English Saddle leather is hand stained as close to the finished colour. Hand staining helps the penetration of the dyes into the grain, thus improving the colour and feel to the leather.
The leather is processed further by adding the final colour topping to the grain. A blend of colour dyes and pigments ensure that the Saddle Leather matches the Panel and Seat Hides of the Saddle.
The final process is the application of a blend of oils and fats. This grease (Dubbin) is an important part of the Saddle leather production. The grease allows the oils to lubricate the fibres whilst the fat on the surface aids water resistence.
Superb leather with long lasting resistance to the outdoor elements.
