A popular type of saddle is a rough-out leather saddle or a "slick fork cowboy style" saddle. These saddles are popular for many reasons, including functionality for working cowboys.
Buckaroo Leather has created new Rough-Out Breast Collars to match these cowboy rough-out style saddles.
First- lets talk leather-
Leather saddles are made from heavy hides known as saddle skirting. Skirting comes in different weights (thickness) and grades (quality). The thickest skirting is used for the heavy wear areas such as fenders, stirrup leathers and seats.
Skirting has two distinct sides – the grain side, which is smooth, and the flesh side, which is rough. A saddle can be made with either side facing out as the finished side.
Most saddles are made with the grain side out. A saddle with the flesh, or rough, side facing out is called a rough-out saddle. A saddle can be completely rough-out or partially rough-out. Fenders, seat jockeys, and seats are the most common rough-out parts.
The appeal of rough-out is that it provides additional grip and stick for the rider. For those riding for a job where function takes priority over looks (working cowboys, horse trainers), rough-out style saddles are quite common.
Working Cowboys can now purchase that same quality rough-out leather on their horse tack. As part of your rough-out cowboy gear-
These Breast Collars are designed to match the popular rough-out saddles and Buckaroo Wade style saddles.

I like these horse accessories very much. Great design. Good job.
Well thanks for taking your time to comment Saddle Pad...
Help! I have a rough out breastcollar, that had gotten a little ry, I have a rough-out bridle and headstall, and have used the same saddle soap on them that I tried on my breastcollar, but it seems like the oils or whatever in the soap clung to the "knap" of the leather, and turned it black... Now, instead of having a beautiful natural rough-out, I have an extremely dirty looking breastcollar that I CANNOT get clean... I have neverhad this problem with my other rough-out items, and am completely lost on what to do to get this OFF OF MY BREASTCOLLAR!
