          Shirts are natural cotton color.
          They are the same measurements as Hanes Beefy T's but will not shrink
          Like the Hanes Beefy T, ring spun cotton shirts.

                                  Bridle Leather

                                  Bridle Leather refers to the way that a piece of leather (cow hide) is finished at the tannery. Bridle leather has both the Flesh and Grain side of the leather stuffed with greases and finised with wax. This is generally a labour intensive process, thus expensive! Only the best grades of leather are treated like this, it would be uneconomic to treat poor quality leather in this way.

                                  The purpose of bridle leather is threefold;

                                  Its expected to look good. That is, it must have good depth of colour and be attractive to look at, it must age well and it must not have natural imperfections that weaken the leather.

                                  It is expected to be smoth, comfortable and flexible to handle. It is designed for use in bridles, so must be comfortable for a horse to wear next to the skin. Therefore the treatment of the flesh side is as important as the grain side as the flesh side is typically worn next to the horses skin and must be smooth.

                                  It is epected to be both strong and durable. The riders life literally depends on bridle leather not failing unexpectedly. Its is subjected to quite high loads, and must tolerate this time after time.An item of saddlery is typically expected to last for 10 or more years of use, so not only must the leather be strong, but it must survive poor weather, dirt, everything being in contact a horse throws at it for many years.

                                  All in all, bridle leather is pretty amazing stuff. We use it as it is simply the best leather available for our purposes. It is pleasant to work with and produces a beautiful product. Once it leaves us we know that it will mature well for our customers and become a trusted old favorite, becoming both more beautiful, characterful and tactile as it ages. There arent many products produced now that get better with age, but good bridle leather is certainly one of them.

                                          For clarification… Is this a belt for purchase or is it the actual championship belt that you are talking about mega? Excuse my ignorance if this has been addressed already but really intrigued as I am currently on the hunt for a new belt for my MBB ...

                                            Belt for purchase; World Champion Belts are being provided by Obbigood Label.

                                            Mega is apparently trying to make sure participants are able to dress themselves from head to toe in official HWDC gear…
