Fettled leather croupon(harness leather) | Black

Saddle leather was originally used for harnesses, which made guiding animals easier. Also for "powering" machines, think of drive belts. Today, saddle leather finds other uses as well.

The leather used is often but not always a clear, neutral, greasy, cowhide leather, which has great elasticity and tear resistance. This oiled leather,which comes in a variety of colors, has a unique recipe with a chrome tanning made by a reputable German tannery.

From this Fettled leather you can make fantastic belts or other leather goods. The Fettle leather ( fat leather) comes as croupons, which have a size of about 2.4 - 2.8 m2. From this Fettledeer we also offer endless belts , which are cut in one piece from a whole hide.

What is the best way to maintain this leather?

Maintenance for this harness leather is fairly simple. It already naturally contains oils and greases, so you don't want to do too much to it. Certainly don't treat it with harsh cleaning agents. At first, just use a damp cloth to clean it. If you find that over time the leather starts to look drier, you can rub it a little with a normal natural leather grease. That will be able to make it a little more supple and maybe also darken the color a shade.
