Members Acceptable Posted December 14, 2015 Members Report Posted December 14, 2015 I requested a sample swatch from Wickett and Craig and there were these swatched in a separate keychain by themselves that were unlabelled. Does anyone know which of their line of leathers these are? They are all quite firm and very oily. I've been unable to get a hold of W&C to inquire. Quote
Moderator Art Posted December 14, 2015 Moderator Report Posted December 14, 2015 Those colors are only available (except special order) in English Bridle and Oiled Latigo, and just from the look, it isn't Oiled Latigo. Those swatches are old, they now put the type of leather on them between the color and Wickett & Craig imprints. Art Quote

So I have another set that has English Bridle stamped on them and they feel drastically different compared to these. The english brides feel sort spongy and squishy, while these have no squishiness at all and are very oily on the surface. Quote
Moderator Art Posted December 14, 2015 Moderator Report Posted December 14, 2015 English Bridle is not spongy or squishy, not at all in the 5 pieces I have, it is very firm strap leather. English Bridle is not oily, Show Harness and the Oiled Latigo can be oily, and the Harness tends to be shiny. Dk Brown would kind of confirm it is English Bridle (the non squishy variety). Art Quote

Art Thanks for posting these observations, Art. It confirms that the W&C leather I picked up from a closed business is English Bridle. Very helpful. Quote
