Product Description
Discover the exquisite quality of Sepici Sienna Bridle Leather, a premium 4-5oz vegetable tanned hide that embodies the perfect balance of beauty, durability, and craftsmanship. This distinguished bridle leather represents the pinnacle of traditional tanning methods, enhanced with modern finishing techniques to create a truly exceptional material for discerning leathercrafters.

The rich sienna color is drum dyed completely through the leather, ensuring consistent coloration that maintains its integrity even when cut, burnished, or scratched. This through-dying process means your projects will maintain their beautiful warmth and depth throughout their lifetime of use.

What sets Sienna Bridle apart is its lightly waxed finish, which provides a subtle luster while offering enhanced protection against moisture and wear. This traditional bridle treatment imparts a distinctive hand-feel that combines structure with a pleasant suppleness that only improves with age and handling.

At 4-5oz thickness (1.6-2.0mm), this leather offers ideal versatility for a wide range of applications. The careful vegetable tanning process creates a material with excellent tooling properties while maintaining enough flexibility for comfortable daily use in finished items.

Notably, Sienna Bridle features a finished flesh side, making it exceptionally versatile for projects where both sides of the leather may be visible. This refinement allows for more creative applications than traditional bridle leathers with rough flesh sides.

Leathercrafters will appreciate Sienna Bridle's exceptional working properties. It cuts cleanly, holds stitching beautifully, and burnishes to a smooth edge. The light wax finish can be further enhanced with additional burnishing to develop a deeper luster in finished edges.
