I just did a project for myself and the folks on the IBOB list where I
ordered several hundred dollars worth of leather bar wrap from an Amish
harness maker in Springs Pa. (the highest point in Pa. the harness maker
tells me). I hadn't offered any to the folks on this list because of
initial fears that it would be viewed as off topic. Several folks have
encouraged me to think of it as a rather classic accessory that some of you
might be interested in. It comes in three colors Honey (very close to the
Brooks color, perhaps a little less red), dark brown and black. It has
skivered edges like a modern cork tape and is about as long as they can get
it from the cow.
It runs about $25 a set and I am about to contact the harness maker and
place another order because we ran through $500 worth of it for IBOB folks
in 90 minutes. It will take a couple of weeks, maybe more now with the
Holidays at hand, to get.
I have passed it along at that rate without taking any profit.
If you would like me to order you some, get with me very quickly as I intend
to put the order in right away. The first batch was beautiful and that's
all I can tell you. I am not guaranteeing it in any sense and if you buy
it, you own it. I am only ordering it for you and not going to accept any
returns.
Like I say, if that sounds ok to you, I'll order you some.
Drop me a line off list and let me know. The black sold out first,
surprisingly, I thought the Honey would be the big demand in it.
