Experience the exceptional quality and timeless performance of Wickett & Craig Russet Harness Leather, a premier choice for leathercrafters who demand strength, beauty, and workability. Produced in the USA using traditional vegetable tanning methods, this leather is favored by professionals for its smooth finish, firm temper, and ability to age with character and grace.

Harness leather is renowned for its durability and rich hand-feel, and Wickett & Craig’s Russet harness leather is no exception. Treated with a proprietary blend of waxes and tallows during the finishing process, this leather has a subtle sheen and a dense, weather-resistant surface that makes it ideal for both functional and decorative work. The russet color offers a natural, warm tone that can be left raw for a traditional look or dyed, stamped, and tooled for custom projects.

With a clean grain and consistent thickness, this leather is perfect for saddle and tack work, belts, straps, harnesses, pet collars, sheaths, and structured bags. It holds edges beautifully, takes burnishing exceptionally well, and molds with moisture and pressure when needed.
