With exceptional weather resistance, latigo leather has a history of being used for horse cinches. It is first chrome tanned and then veg tanned resulting in a leather that has a great mix of strength, durability and firmness. The waxes and oils infused in this latigo leather give it exceptional temper and feel that make it a good choice for so much more than horse cinches. Imagine using this leather for everything from pet collars and leashes to gun belts. Plus, you’ll notice the flesh side of this latigo looks almost as nice as the grain side. Latigo makes great laces and saddle strings as well so be sure to check out our cutting service if you’d like our team of professionals to cut this leather to your specifications.
Chrome veg retanned leather offers the best of both worlds. It is first chrome tanned and then retanned with vegetable extracts. The chrome tannage lends a touch of strength while the veg tannage excels at adding excellent firmness and durability. A mix of waxes and oils gives this latigo a supple feel that makes it a welcome addition to a variety of projects.
