Another before and after!

Nothing particularly exciting about this sort of job, but the end result is always satisfying!

Quality starts long before the stitching.

Every piece of leatherwork starts somewhere, and for us, that usually means a piece of leather, a sharp knife and a steady hand.

Everything we make is individually cut by hand, allowing us to pay attention to the shape, the edges and the quality of the leather we’re working with.

Mass production might have its place, but there’s something special about traditional craftsmanship and taking the time to get the little details right.

Is it the quickest way to make things? No. But then quality never has been about cutting corners.

The small details

Whether we’re talking bridles, saddles, martingales or any other piece of tack. The small details matter.

The tabs around a ring, the leather turn on a buckle, the stitching holding everything together — they’re easy to overlook when you’re mid-season and busy.

This close-up from the workshop archive gives those details a moment of their own.

When did you last have a proper look at the small details on your tack? How’s it all holding together?
