Leather western saddle bags handmade

Description

Leather western saddle bags handmade. Condition is New.
I set out to make the perfect saddle bags as there was nothing on the market that met all of my needs. These are the result. They are more compact than any I could find. They are made of top grade 7-8 oz leather with flexible gussetts so they can be cinched down for a low profile look and to keep them stable while walking, trotting or Loping. The hardware is all solid brass and the tie downs are in the right locations for attaching to the D-rings on the saddle. The brass grommets on top allow the saddle strings from the saddle to still be useful for attaching a jacket on top. Each side has an interior pocket for small items that would normally fall to the bottom like a compass, hoof pick, map, knife or phone.
The pockets are 8 inches wide, 10.5 inches tall and 3.5 inches thick. The flap is designed to allow for taller or larger items. If you don't need all that room, then they can be cinched down to 1 inch of thickness. These bags ride higher on the side of your horse and can be easily reached from the saddle. This position also keeps them off the sides of your horse, depending on how long your saddle pad is.
