Stretched Della Chocolat grith straps features:
Stretched Della ChocolatStretched Della grith straps are essential elements in the world of saddlery. Designed to ensure optimum saddle attachment, they guarantee even pressure distribution and offer incomparable comfort for horse and rider alike. Made from our Stretched Della full-grain leather, unpressed, uncorrected and smooth-grained. This mineral-tanned leather is reworked wet and positioned on frames. Under tension, it minimizes its elasticity and elongation, and increases its absorption of direct stress without altering its tensile strength. This leather benefits from an aniline finish that preserves its natural appearance. The aniline finish consists of applying a thin, transparent layer without altering the texture of the leather. It is fed through a tallow bath (a mixture of paraffin and beef fat), more commonly known as " tallow leather". This fat-bath nourishment makes the leather easier to cut and work, as well as increasing its resistance to water. Tallow provides maintenance-free leather, as the grease is constantly applied to the surface of the leather, giving it the nourishment it needs and an excellent patina. Thanks to this nourishment, Della saddle leather is highly resistant to outdoor use, rejecting any external disturbance (water / salty environment). This makes Della saddle leather ideal for intensive wear and tear, such as in the equestrian sector.
Our tests show that leather elongation over 1000 stretching cycles at 75 Kg is less than 6%. In addition, a 25mm wide, 4.5mm thick strap has a breaking strength of over 360 Kg, the average being 450 Kg.
