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.
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.
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.
Just pick your type →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.
We favour vegetable tanning as much as possible. The purpose is to promote the use of renewable material. We bring the vegetable tanning leather to similar or higher inner properties of leather compared to alternative tanning process by our continuous research & development.
Interested in making a fully veg-tanned saddle or harness, you can find all the different types of leather you need.
Our vegetable tanning : Quebracho / Chestnut / Mimosa / Oak.
Increase the safety of rider and horse by stretching the leather in a well-considered way and during the wet part of the production in order to minimise lengthening and breaking during the ride.
Due to our ⅓ croupon technique, we offer strong evenly stretched hides with a minimum of elongation and a great strength.
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
