Members GoldArmored Posted October 17, 2015 Members Report Posted October 17, 2015 I've start making english bridles and I'd like to know what is the soft material they use as a padding for the noseband, the browband and the crown. A thin layer of neoprene maybe? Or a smooth layer of leather? maybe it's just the same leather as we see but folded behind, but I really feel that it's another material, some cushion. I don't want to mess up my own bridle since it was pretty expensive lol, so if anybody know, please tell me? Thanks for your help!! Quote

Members GoldArmored Posted October 17, 2015 Author Members Report Posted October 17, 2015 Thank you gmace99! Do you know where to get this very thin foam? When I search for thin latex foam sheets, there're matress and pillows only. Also what thickness is better? Thanks so much for your help! Quote
Members GoldArmored Posted October 18, 2015 Author Members Report Posted October 18, 2015 Apparently, someone had the same issues and posted the same question here. http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=39977 Plastazote seems great, I think I'll start with a 1/8'' thinkness. thx again!

Members gmace99 Posted October 18, 2015 Members Report Posted October 18, 2015 . I asked a friend who works for a large company in Walsall what he used he said 1/4 inch plastazote. and as they make thousands a year compared to my 10 or so, I would use the plaztazote. You can buy that from Abbey England Quote
