Thomas Ware & Sons is a heritage tannery established in Bristol, UK, in 1840, boasting over 170 years of history. Bridle leather, originally made for equestrian use, is exceptionally robust. It gains its strength and durability through the infusion of waxes such as beeswax, tallow, and vegetable oils. The white powder found on the leather's surface is solidified wax that has migrated to the exterior, known as "Bloom," a hallmark of bridle leather. Bloom naturally diminishes with use but can be brushed off or wiped away with a dry cloth if it concerns you. The leather possesses a texture that is both appropriately firm and supple, owing to the use of durable bridle leather. You can enjoy the process of it gradually conforming to your touch. The hand-sewing thread used is a 100% natural linen waxed thread from the Taiwanese brand "Rikka." Rikka's threads meet the non-toxic and non-fading requirements of physical and chemical tests conducted by SGS, a leading global testing institution, ensuring high quality. ■ Color Green ■ Size When unfolded: Height 165mm × Width 334mm ■ Please Note As leather is a natural material, there may be inherent scratches or wrinkles. The cutting and sewing of the leather are entirely done by hand. There might be slight imperfections. We kindly ask for your understanding that this is a handmade item. We appreciate your consideration.
