Hand Stitching

Hand crafted English Bridle Leather are what makes Essenjayleathersupplies dog leads and dog collars special

The following photographs show some of the tools and techniques we use to make our products.

The tools needed to create the leather leads and collars

The leather is cut using a plough gauge and head knife , the strips of leather are then trimmed to length.

< cutting strips of hide

   

All edges of the pieces are bevelled using an edge shave.

< bevelling the edges

   

When required the surface edges can have fine lines applied to enhance the overall appearance

< engraving the leather

   

The pieces to be stitched are placed in the jaws of a ‘saddlers clam’, pierced with a sharp awl, then by means of the ‘anti run’ twin needle method are stitched together using strong, beeswaxed linen thread.
