Leather workers and craftspeople, this Hermann Oak harness leather is the real deal! These straps are hand-cut from 10 oz leveled Old World harness leather that's been veg-tanned using natural tree bark - the most environmentally friendly process around. Each strap measures 1.5 inches wide by 84 inches long with a consistent 4mm thickness throughout. The natural russet color is rich and beautiful, ready for you to tool, dye, or finish as you like. Hermann Oak uses only prime grade US native steer hides in their St. Louis tannery, and they hand-work each side for that smooth, even texture that serious leather workers appreciate. This stuff is perfect for saddle making, tack repair, pack saddle rigging, breeching, breastcollars - anything that needs to withstand the elements. But it's also amazing for pet collars, harnesses, leashes, belts, holster straps, gun belts, tool belts - you name it! The exceptional weather resistance and durability mean your projects will last for years, and the tight fiber structure makes it strong yet workable. Each strap is fully finished and edged, ready for your next project right out of the package. If you're tired of cheap imported leather that doesn't hold up, this American-made Hermann Oak leather will remind you what quality craftsmanship feels like. Your projects deserve the best materials, and this is definitely it.
