PRE-STRETCHED LEATHER STRAP FOR STIRRUP LEATHERS

Boyoma saddle leather is a full-grain, unpressed, uncorrected leather with a smooth grain and a double tanning process (vegetable re-tanned in mineral). This robust leather has high resistance to elongation, making it ideal for stirrup leathers and horse saddle billets. This leather is nourished throughout in a tallow bath, a historical expertise of the Radermecker tannery.

As this strap is made from full-grain, unpressed, uncorrected leather, slight signs of the animal's life may be apparent and are not considered defects. They contribute to the authentic appearance of the leather.

Characteristics of pre-stretched Boyoma leather:
Boyoma saddle leather is the leather for stirrup leathers and horse saddle billets. It is a double-tanned leather: vegetable re-tanned in mineral, which is re-worked while wet and positioned on frames (which leaves marks at the end of the straps - see photo).
Under tension, it minimizes its elasticity, elongation, and increases the absorption of direct forces without altering its tensile strength.
This leather benefits from an aniline finish that preserves the natural look of the leather. An aniline finish involves applying a thin, transparent layer without altering the leather's texture.
It is nourished throughout in a tallow bath (a mixture of paraffin and beef fat), more commonly known as "greased leather." This fat nourishment allows for easy cutting and working, as well as increased water resistance. The tallow ensures a low-maintenance leather, as the fat is constantly released onto the leather's surface, providing it with necessary nourishment and an excellent patina.
Thanks to this nourishment, Boyoma saddle leather has advanced resistance in outdoor use; it will repel all external disturbances (water / saline environment / animal perspiration). This saddle leather is therefore suitable for intensive wear, such as in the equestrian sector.

Care tips for pre-stretched Boyoma leather:
This leather is suitable for anyone who doesn't have time to maintain their leather. It can live without maintenance; you can also nourish leather that has a film of dust. Thanks to the tallow bath nourishment, the fat is impregnated throughout the thickness of the stretched Boyoma saddle leather, so there is no need for nourishment over time. Nourishment can be applied to the grain to ensure its oily appearance or accelerate the leather's patina. This care of the grain ensures a longer lifespan. Our Boyoma saddle leather will resist humidity. Simply let it dry at room temperature to restore its appearance. Due to its tallow bath nourishment (fats), a whitish film of paraffin can form on the surface during temperature shocks. Simply rub it to make it disappear.
