Features of saddle leather Niagara natural half-back strap:

The saddle leather Niagara is a 100% natural leather. It is a fullleather grain not pressed, not corrected, smooth grain and flesh. It is avegetable tanned leather and therefore a non-allergenic leather. The vegetable tannins give firmness and a strong resistance to elongation. It is fed in a tallow bath (a mixture of paraffin and beef fat), more commonly known as "tallow leather". This food makes it easier to cut and work with, as well as being more resistant to water. The tallow makes it possible to have a leather without maintenance because the fat is given in a constant way on the surface of the leather, giving it the necessary food and a patina of excellence. Thanks to this nourishment, the saddle leather Niagara has an advanced resistance in outdoor use, it will reject any external disturbance (water / salty environment). This saddle leather is therefore suitable for intensive wear.

Care instructions for Niagara natural half back leather strap :

For the care of saddle leather Niagara, thanks to the tallow bath feed, the fat is impregnated throughout the thickness of the saddle leather Niagara, so there is no need to feed over time. Food can be applied to the grain to ensure its greasy appearance or to accelerate the patina of the leather. This care of the grain will ensure a longer life. Our saddle leather Niagara will resist humidity. Just let it dry at room temperature and it will look great again. Because it is fed in a tallow bath (grease), a whitish film of paraffin build-up can form on temperature shocks. Simply rub it off.
