Cattledude Report post Posted February 19, 2020 Very nice work! I couldn't tell from the photo, are the front belts held in by rivets or screws? I like to skive the strap end and lace or use Chicago screws to make a weaker or break away in case the rider gets hung to the saddle horn. It's a bad wreck to have your leggings hang you on the horn! I also use a buckles front and back, it makes it easier to put them on and get 'em off. I like to make my fringe about 1/4" x 6", it makes the fringe hang a little better. Keep up the good work! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
