Heritage Leather combine the comfort and luxury of double-lined leather on the seat and on the knee inserts, with this unique leather being featured in the skirt (over the stirrup bar) and the saddle flaps. Heritage leather upholds the traditional European practices of natural oil and wax tannage. The high oil and wax content of this performance leather ensures optimum suppleness and enhanced rider grip. Characteristic of the finest natural leather, the leather is heavily pre-oiled with visible shade variations, often being referred to as a pull up leather with a tradition not distressed aesthetic. The depth of color is dependent on the infused oil content within the fibers of each particular hide. The distinctive tones of color are particularly visible when the leather is bent as the color lightens returning over time to its original color as the oils migrate back through into the fibers. Further designed is the Rear Flexibloc System for added security in the saddle, along with an extended flap design.
