Features of Flaps leather Gavarnie :

Gavarnie saddle leather is the leather for horse saddle flaps. Flaps leather Gavarnie is an uncorrected full-grain leather, grained with Pécari grain or ungrained with smooth grain. This leather has a semi-aniline finish. This finish is achieved by applying a combination of an aniline layer and a pigmented layer, lightly covering the hide. As a result, colors are more uniform, hide roughness is slightly veiled, and the leather is more resistant to soiling. Flaps leather Gavarnie is available in black and chocolate. It is vegetable-tanned and therefore non-allergenic. Vegetable tannins give it firmness and high resistance to elongation. It has a through color and smooth, tinted flesh. Gavarnie full grain leather is nourished with emulsion oil. This is a liquid oil feed added to our fulling drums. The leather is nourished by the oil. This leather offers both suppleness to accompany the movements of the saddle quarter and firmness to return flat and smooth after multiple folds.
