{"product_id":"rear-cinch-8-inch-contoured","title":"8\" Contoured Rear Cinch – Wide Harness Leather Back Cinch, Latigo Lined","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you rope hard or ask a stout ranch horse to hold a lot behind the saddle, a narrow rear cinch concentrates all that pull into a thin line across the belly. This 8\" contoured rear cinch spreads it out. It is cut wide through the middle and shaped to follow the curve of the belly, so the back of the rig stays put while the load is carried by as much leather as we can put there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe contour is the point of this cinch. It is widest where it sits under the belly and tapers toward the ends, so you get a full 8\" of bearing surface where the pressure lands without extra bulk up by the billets. Riders who rope heavy cattle or spend long days in rough country tend to end up here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it's built\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is cut from Grade A heavy harness leather, a dense, oil-stuffed hide that holds its shape under load and resists stretching, and it is lined with latigo, the same soft, oily leather we use for our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/latigo-cinch-strap\"\u003elatigo cinch strap\u003c\/a\u003e. The harness leather gives the cinch its strength; the latigo lining is what sits against the horse, stays supple, and won't crack when it gets wet and dries out again. Each end carries a heavy stainless steel seamless roller buckle. The roller turns as the billet slides through, so the cinch is easier to set and your billets wear longer, and the seamless ring has no joint to catch hair or open up. A 3\/4\" Beta connector strap comes with the cinch to tie it to your front cinch, and every one is stamped with our maker's mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContoured rear cinch (back cinch)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8\" at the center, contoured\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34\" overall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeather\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrade A heavy harness leather, dark oil\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLining\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLatigo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuckles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeavy 2\" stainless steel seamless roller buckles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKeepers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBoxed leather keepers for easy billet entry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnector strap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\/4\" brown Beta connector strap, included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRear billets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot included, sold separately\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaker's mark\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStamped with Tyler's maker's mark\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandmade by Tyler Shupe in Eminence, Indiana, USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLifetime, against defects in workmanship and materials\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions riders ask\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy choose the 8\" contoured over a 3\" or 4\" straight rear cinch?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll three are built the same way from the same leather; the difference is how much surface sits against the horse. The 8\" contoured puts the most leather under the belly and spreads the pull the widest, which is what you want when the saddle is taking hard jerks. If you want something lighter for everyday ranch or trail use, we also build 3\" and 4\" straight rear cinches in the shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat comes with it, and what do I need to add?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou get the rear cinch with both roller buckles and the 3\/4\" Beta connector strap.
