Harness Leather

Recommended Posts

I am interested in making horse harness from mini to draft pulling. I was wondering if anyone knew of the best kind of leather to use.

Thank you

Dan

bridle butt has the wrong finish & isnt heavy enough, I always buy harness leather for harness work.

I agree with dirtclod. Harness leather. Either black or russet. Good Luck-----------Bill

I would use harness leather but I would buy a harness back not a butt because most butts are only 60 inches long and many harness straps need the extra length that a back gives. Harness reins are traditionally made from brown leather with no edge stain as the black in the past would shed dye so staining the coachmans/drivers gloves. The best oak tanned harness leather in my mind comes from Bakers in Colyton Devon uk
