Breastcollars

Handmade Western breast collars, doubled and stitched, built to keep a saddle where it belongs through a full day. The straight breast collar is 1.25" bridle leather in plain dark oil, and the same collar comes buckstitched in turquoise, white, pink and purple to match a headstall. The plain one costs less because the buckstitching is the labor. For the arena, the steer tripping collars are heavy harness leather in a 4" straight or 2 7/8" contoured cut, built for the loads roping and tripping put on a rig. Round it out with a doubled-and-stitched bridle leather wither strap with Jeremiah Watt hardware, and a set of latigo tug straps with stainless buckles for when the ones on your old collar wear out.

Every collar is oiled before it leaves so it is soft on the first ride, no break-in required. All of it is made in the USA by Tyler Shupe and carries a lifetime warranty against defects. A breast collar takes sweat all summer, so wipe it down and oil it now and then; here is how to clean and condition leather.
