What colors of leather do you offer?

The picture below is our current leather finish options.
  • Our bridle leathers have a matte finish and a rich, even tone. These are typically 7-8 oz thickness.
  • Our harness leathers have a more glossy sheen and a beautiful pull-up with some marbling. These are 5-6 oz leathers. However our BIG Composition cover in Oak Harness is a 9-10 oz thickness.
  • Natural Tan is our most unfinished leather. We add some wax and oil to our finishing process. Our Natural Tan is a 9-10 oz thickness.
