The Oak Bark Bridle Butt with a Cross Hatch finish from J&FJ Baker is a premium-grade, traditional bridle leather made by the last remaining oak bark tannery in the UK. Tanned for over 12 months using natural oak bark, this leather is renowned for its exceptional strength, density, and beautiful aging qualities.
What sets this version apart is the cross hatch embossing—a refined, textured pattern that adds both visual interest and a tactile feel to the already luxurious bridle leather. The pattern enhances the surface while maintaining the classic character of English bridle leather.
J&FJ Baker uses traditional hand-finishing methods, applying natural greases and waxes to the grain to give it a deep, rich finish and protect it from moisture. The leather is cut from the butt—the strongest and most consistent part of the hide—making it ideal for high-end belts, straps, briefcases, and equestrian goods.
Oak bark tanning not only produces leather that is incredibly durable, but also environmentally friendly, using zero harmful chemicals and allowing the leather to develop a natural, glossy patina over time. The Cross Hatch version brings a touch of modern design to this centuries-old material, making it perfect for artisans and brands seeking a heritage product with contemporary flair.
