Another(better) dog harness

[Stetson912]

A while ago I made a harness for an Akita. It didn't go so smoothly. It broke twice and wasn't the correct dimensions. 

But, it taught me a lot.

1. Don't skive the turn where any hardware will be.... And

2. It pays to make a mock up in craft foam to test fit it to the dog.

This harness is made from 1" wide 9/10 oz European bridle leather in Havana brown from rjf leather. I used mostly .6mm tiger thread to hand stitch it (fit my 8spi irons better) but I ran out and had to use some .8mm which worked well.

The back strap was a problem on the last one. So to fix, I made it tripple thickness. All turns are full thickness and not skived or split. Each chape has a stationary and floating keeper.

Let me know what you think. I'll try and get pics on the dog (for a husky this time)
