Mohair cinches
Hand tied on the loom, any two colours you like, five lengths. A cinch that fits and breathes is the cheapest insurance on the whole outfit.

handed down.
Hand-tooled leather, and mohair cinches hand-tied in any two colours you pick. Buy one and you shouldn't need another.
Bret Barney,
Dayton, Wyoming.
He cuts, tools and stitches the leather at the same bench where the cinches are tied. Nothing is subbed out.
Every piece is started after the order comes in. That is why you pick the two colours, and why he will ask what the cinch is going on.
Two things, made properly
Both off the same bench
Leather goods
Wallets, checkbook covers, notepad covers, coasters. Most of them go out with somebody's initials or a brand tooled into the front.
Hermann Oak · kangaroo-lined wallets · stamped by hand
See the leatherWhy it outlives you
Four decisions, none of them the cheap way round.
The fibre
100% mohair, no synthetic blend. It breathes, it wicks, and it grips harder wet than dry, which is the opposite of what nylon does to a horse.
The hand work
Every strand pulled to the same tension by hand. The hand work, not the mohair, is most of what a cinch costs.
The leather
Hermann Oak, kangaroo through the wallet interiors. Stiff for the first month, then it takes the shape of your pocket and keeps it.
The hardware
Stainless double bar buckles, stainless throughout. Nothing on it rusts, including the parts you never see.
See one in person at King's Saddlery.
A run of B7 cinches hangs on the wall at King's, an hour up the road from Dayton. If you are driving through Sheridan, go put your hands on one. Mohair is hard to judge from a photograph and easy to judge in your hands.
What is on their wall
Cinches only.
The leather ships from Dayton.

Every one is built after you order it, in the two colours you pick. Shorter than 28" is not listed, but he ties them — text or email and ask.
Initials, a name, a brand.
Most of the checkbook covers that leave here are personalised. Email a photo of what you want stamped and Bret will tell you whether he can tool it.
