Starting to look tired after only 11,300+ days of use? I'd complain to the manufacturer, clearly defective! Quote
bermudahwin Posted January 16, 2019 Report Posted January 16, 2019 Seriously disappointed with it Quote No longer following it.
bermudahwin Posted January 16, 2019 Report Posted January 16, 2019 the leather was saddle skirting, fully stuffed from Sharp and Woollard in Stony Stratford, UK and I only recently found a pigskin that (almost) matches it. So I will be making another using a cuir bouillon method in a couple of weeks. H Quote No longer following it.

Members jcuk Posted January 16, 2019 Members Report Posted January 16, 2019 Hi Yes I miss Sharp and Woollard in Stony Stratford too, I purchased some nice bridle butts from them around '97, I went to the tannery myself and chose them. I think it is the best bridle butt i have ever purchased, it was nice to work with, and to cut, and I still have a bridle made from it going strong today. I agree I hope Claytons group can be saved.
