Hi there, I am looking for some strap goods patterns for tack that I can make for my own use. I am specifically looking for dimensions on curb straps, cinch connectors, stirrup hobbles, slobber straps and similar. I ordered the Tandy tack package, but it doesn't have any of the above in it and I can't seem to find patterns anywhere. I could measure the curb strap I have, but I dont have examples of the other items to use as guides. I'd like to make a curb strap out veg tan with a latigo lining. What weight of veg tan and latigo should I use for a curb strap? I'd like the durability of a latigo strap but I want a veg tan overlay so I can stamp and dye it to match my dark oil headstall. Any and all help greatly appreciated.

Wow! Those cases are really something! I love the borders and the brass studs. Super nice work!

Those straps are super and I love the colour. What dye did you use? I think it would match my saddle well.
