Supplier Of Natural Color Bridle

[cappadk]

Anyone know where to find bridle in natural color - ive searched for a long time now but havent

been able to find anyone.

And also - could someone tell me what the dimensions are of a piece of 25 square feet? I mean

how long is it - how do i calculate that?

Thanks a lot.

Baker's Tannery of Colyton in the UK supply natural (russet) bridle leather (http://www.jfjbaker.co.uk/). The picture below shows the colours available.

25 square feet of leather would probably be a large side of leather, but the square footage would include all the irregular parts of the side. The length would be perhaps 7-8 feet.

Thanks Celticleather - i had not thought of them. I actually have 3 samples from them, but none in natural color. Dunno why i didnt ask

for samples back then. But i kind of disregarded them as i found them to be a little too expensive. But if there are no other alternatives then i will

buy it from them.

Do you know if they split and refinsh the flesh side to the desired thickness?

I think they make bridle butts in a variety of weights, but I'm sure they would split to whatever weight you require. No harm in asking . . . drop an email to Andrew Parr.
