Buddytink Report post Posted January 30, 2010 I've seen some bronc halters that have hair on hide in the center? (guess that's what they call it) anyways, I got wondering, how do they get it in there? I'm thinking it's 2 thin pieces of leather with the hair on hide in the middle, and then the 3 pieces sewn together? And then the top piece of leather is cut out in whatever design so that the hide will show?? Is that how it's done or am I WAY off lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruce johnson Report post Posted January 30, 2010 Buddy, On some of the hair-on they use a backing leather and may just glue the hide on the nosepiece and stitch it. Others will inlay, pretty much like you said, except cut the "window" for the inlay first. As far as what weight of leather, there are several on here who make the decorative bronc halters and I have seen weights that go from 9-10 oz combined up to 14 oz or a little more. I don't do many of the decorative bronc halters, but do some for saddle bronc riders occasionally. With those I use a doubled skirting, so they are about 26 oz or so. I am attaching a pic of one I did with a hair-on inlay that we ran the guy's brand into the hair. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
