Countryman

TEXTURE

Beginning with Russet oak tanned skirting leather (used for saddles), we dress the surface to have a nap.  Something like suede or nubuck, we lightly lift the fibres of the top grain to give a deeper texture.  As you can see by the loop, in the picture to the right and above,  it does not have this dressed surface.  With a one and one quarter inch width the Countryman is made in our standard thickness from two layers of topgrain stitched together with brown thread.  A solid  brass tug buckle is used, so named as it is designed and used for the tugs of a horse harness.
