DELLA BLACK STRETCH BUCKLE STRAP – HIGH-PERFORMANCE SADDLE LEATHER

DELLA black stretch buckle straps are made from one-third full-grain, non-corrected cowhide with a smooth grain. Unlike vegetable-tanned leathers, they undergo mineral chrome tanning, which gives the edges a naturally bluish tint—a sign of quality leather and controlled tanning. This tanning process is a key step that gives them increased strength and predictable performance under tension.

In addition, a clear aniline finish preserves the authentic appearance of the full-grain leather. A wax bath (paraffin + beef tallow) deeply nourishes the leather, making it waterproof and easy to work with, with no need for regular maintenance.

FOR PROFESSIONAL SADDLE-MAKING USE
These buckle straps are designed for the manufacture and restoration of riding saddles (dressage, training, racing). Their very low stretch rate—less than 6% after 1,000 cycles at 75 kg—and their breaking strength of over 360 kg (for a 25 mm width) make them ideal for intensive use.
Their structure ensures an even distribution of tension, providing comfort for both horse and rider.

LEATHER THAT MAINTAINS ITSELF
Thanks to the nourishment provided by the wax bath, this leather requires no regular maintenance. The grease naturally rises to the surface to nourish the leather and give it a beautiful patina. If a whitish haze appears (due to thermal shock), simply rub it lightly to restore the leather to its original appearance.

GUARANTEED ORIGIN AND TRACEABILITY
The leathers come from cattle raised in France, Germany, Spain, or Italy, selected for the quality of their hides. Traceability is ensured at every stage (reception, tanning, finishing) through internal marking at the Radermecker tannery.
