Handcrafted from premium cowhide leather with intricate hand-tooled detailing, it features a traditional rawhide-wrapped wood tree reinforced at the pommel and horn for superior structural integrity and durability. The top-grain leather seat, hand-stitched and padded with high-density D60 foam, provides maximum comfort for all-day riding. Every leather component is deeply conditioned with neatsfoot oil, painted, and waxed to withstand the elements, while the rust-free stainless steel hardware ensures long-term reliability in any environment.
