theoregoner Report post Posted August 13, 2015 Is English Bridle Leather the firmest leather that Wickett & Craig make? I'm looking to have some of their leather skived down to 2oz, and I'm curious if any of their other leathers will be more firm/durable at that weight than their EBL. How do the Show Harness, Traditional Harness, Oiled Latigo, and Skirting compare? (I had some samples coming, but I think they must have been lost in the mail ) Thanks!

MudBugWill Report post Posted August 14, 2015 I have some 2/3 of their skirting and its incredibly strong. I also just split their bridle to 2/3 for a bifold that im working on and it is a little more stretchy than the skirting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theoregoner Report post Posted August 15, 2015 Does the skirting still bend well or does it deform when stressed? Have you used any of their other leathers before? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuttish Report post Posted August 17, 2015 W&C English bridle is quite firm, but it must be repasted and finished if split or it becomes stretchy like anything else. The backs are a substantial reason the temper is so rigid. The vegetable tanned tooling and skirting also needs to be pasted. W&C's split samples are slow because they're not in stock like the rest of their swatches. They get made for you. It takes a couple of weeks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
