Strength and thickness

Sourcing

Our leathers come from bulls and cows responsibly farmed in Western Europe through responsible farming practices. They have been able to develop a skin with a firm, rigid, homogeneous and dense fiber structure. For the equestrian leather this fiber density is a must given the heavy duty work this leather has to endure on a day to day basis.

Traceability

From the abattoir through the tannery, to your workbench, the hides are traceable. This gives us the opportunity to review, examine and improve each step where necessary. Thus providing you with a guarantee of the quality of Radermecker leather.

The tannery

All the equestrian leather, from the elegant to the muscular ones, from the fine bridle to the collar of a draft horse, we have them available for you.

What makes us unique

Solid / tallow :
Tallow, a unique heritage technique passed on from father to son to create an almost self nourishing leather thanks to the submersion in a warm bath of fat/wax/paraffin.
Everytime you use and consequently warm the leather, the “tallow” mixture comes to the surface, feeds the grain side of the hide and as a result feeds and maintains the leather.

Soft/barrel :
One-of-a-kind, beautifully and lush open pore soft hides. Our soft hides have a nice and silky-smooth feel. Even in a higher thickness, they never lose their good stretch, so necessary to make a good seat. The pure aniline finishes it perfectly.

Extra grip

Riders are looking for clothing solutions to have more grip on their saddles, we give you leather so your saddle itself has more grip.

The extra feed and the possibility of providing a light finish give the rider this much- desired comfort

Measure

Each leather development has a strict protocol of validation before getting the green light for production.

Advanced check

Thanks to our partnership with the ITECH Lyon engineering school, we simulated a year of leather use in an equestrian saddle within a week. We offer advanced equipment like a climate chamber on the leather destruction tests.

Quality control

10% from the hides in each production batch goes through the data validation check : - tear, cracks, breaking, abrasion, disgorging, UV, grain cracks, finish fixing, oil breathing.
