BOYOMA pre-stretched croupon leather strap - Radermecker - 28mm - BLACK - Thickness 5.3mm -140cm

PRE-STRETCHED LEATHER STRAP FOR STIRRUPS

This black strap is made from pre-stretched BOYOMA butt leather from the Radermecker tannery. Boyoma saddlery leather is full-grain leather, unpressed, uncorrected, with a smooth grain and double-tanned (vegetable retanned with mineral). This robust leather has high resistance to elongation, making it ideal for stirrup leathers and saddle billets. This leather is deeply nourished in a tallow bath, a historical know-how of the Radermecker tannery.

As this strap is made from unpressed, uncorrected full-grain 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 saddlery leather is the leather for stirrup leathers and saddle billets. It is a double-tanned leather: vegetable retanned with mineral, which is re-worked wet and placed 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. The aniline finish consists of applying a light, thin, transparent layer without altering the leather's texture.
It is deeply nourished in a tallow bath (a mixture of paraffin and beef fat), more commonly known as "greased leather." This fat bath nourishment allows for easy cutting and working, as well as greater water resistance. Tallow ensures maintenance-free leather because the fat is constantly released onto the leather's surface, providing the necessary nourishment and an excellent patina.
Thanks to this nourishment, Boyoma saddlery leather has advanced resistance to outdoor use; it will repel any external disturbances (water / saline environment / animal perspiration). This saddlery leather is therefore suitable for intensive wear in demanding environments such as the equestrian sector.

Care instructions 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 with a film of dust. Thanks to the tallow bath nourishment, the fat is impregnated throughout the entire thickness of the stretched Boyoma saddlery leather, so there is no need for nourishment over time. Nourishment can be applied to the grain to maintain its oily appearance or accelerate the leather's patina. This care of the grain ensures a longer lifespan. Our Boyoma saddlery leather will resist moisture. 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.
