Members wvcraftsman Posted January 26, 2011 Members Report Posted January 26, 2011 I'm looking to find fleece or wool to line breast collars/bridles with in a color besides the golden. All I can find is the golden color. I did find some at Weaver's, but I don't have enough for the min buy. Quote

Members oldtimer Posted January 29, 2011 Members Report Posted January 29, 2011 Thanks Blake. I'm looking them up now. A leather lining would be much better than fleece / wool MHO / Knut Quote
Members Saddlebag Posted January 30, 2011 Members Report Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) I'm all for a nice latigo lining. What I don't like about synthetic fleece for lining a breast collar is that the fleece can make a horse raw because of all the shoulder movement. Natural wool fleece would be better with the latigo better yet. Edited January 30, 2011 by Saddlebag Quote
Members wvcraftsman Posted January 30, 2011 Author Members Report Posted January 30, 2011 Thanks everyone. I'm trying to decide between wool/fleece or a leather lining. Is latigo a better choice than veg tanned? My wife was wanting me to dye to match her saddle. You can't dye latigo can you? Quote

Contributing Member Denise Posted February 1, 2011 Contributing Member Report Posted February 1, 2011 Looks like latigo isn't a great choice primarily because it will bleed its color at time. Here's a few threads I found that talked about this: http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=11856&st=0&p=1577&hl=+latigo%20+bleed&fromsearch=1entry1577 http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=1832&st=0&p=36718&hl=+latigo%20+bleed&fromsearch=1entry36718 Quote
