Harness leather is stuffed with a heavy mixture of animal fats for exceptional weight, thickness and durability. Harness leather has minimal stretch and is stiff in comparison to latigo leather making it an ideal choice for agitation collars. Harness leather is best because it is meant to be the most weather resistant . Harness came into closer proximity to horse sweat therefore it was subjected to getting wet on a daily basis. It is stuffed with additional waxes and tallows that impregnate the leather with its weather resistant property. Latigo leather is most commonly made from cowhide. It is first chrome tanned, which involves soaking the hide in a solution of acidic salts and then drying it before further processing. Next it is vegetable tanned by soaking it in a series of vats with progressively higher concentrations of tanning solutions. After completing the tanning process, the hides are tumbled in large drums to absorb various oils and waxes. This makes them more pliable and supple, while retaining their strength. This combination tanning process makes it unique among types of leather. Latigo leather is both durable and pliable, making it suitable for rigorous activities and applications with rough usage. It is resistant to moisture and sweat, due to the high amounts of oil it is infused with during manufacture. As a result of this oil infusion, and the process of partial chrome tanning and partial vegetable tanning, latigo is more rigid than full chrome-tanned leather but less rigid than vegetable tanned leather. Due to the heavier weight and tanning process, latigo is more costly than most other cow leathers. It is not stretchy and goes from rigid to supple and soft in a short time.
