Saddle Bags Headed To The Big Apple

[jbird]

Howdy all

I am posting this set of Black saddle bags for a customer in New York,

They are made with 9/10 oz Herman Oak and are custom fit to his custom made saddle. They are 11x12 bags with a 5' gusset the gussets are 5 oz suede splits.

I am also making a tan set for him as well.

Let me know what you think any and all comments welcome and thanks for looking folks!

I forgot to mention that these are dyed by me and not drum dyed.

Jbird,

Very nice job and Hermann Oak knows how to tan hides. If I may be so bold I would have changed one thing on the bags for my choice. I would have used a more substantial buckle like a stainless 5705 buckle. Boy my horse and saddle would be proud to parade around with those.

Nice looking saddle bags........Question: are the stiches as close together as i see on my screen? how many to the inch are they?

Nicely done. Was wondering did you dye it or use vinegaroon.
