Members awharnessshop Posted April 6, 2010 Members Report Posted April 6, 2010 Hey I was wondering what leather everyone uses for English sturrip leathers, I've seen the Segwick stirrup leather that Siegels has, and I will probably go with it, but I need to just make some for kids. Any input on what everyones been using for this leather? streaching techniques? THANKS! -Andrew www.awharness.com Quote
Contributing Member barra Posted April 7, 2010 Contributing Member Report Posted April 7, 2010 A good quality bridle leather would be fine but remember you only get a few pairs of leather per side, cut from the best leather near the spine. I don't see a need for stretching. The near side will invariably stretch more as this is the side you mount from. After a while just swap the near and off leather around to even out the stretch.
