Slick Fork Saddle Shop 1 3/4" Rear Billet Set Russet Saddle Skirting All Purpose

Description

These will be the same exact Rear Billets that that go out on my saddles and are the 1 3/4" width Loop Style. They are built from Hermann Oak saddle skirting and lined with good Domestic oiled latigo leather. These are made to be strong and stretch resistent. These are loop type billets and are 1 3/4" width and horse length. The holes on the billets are figure 8 stitched . This extra sewing and latigo lining makes them stronger, more stretch resistant, and the lining resists sweat from the horses belly. Loop billets refers to the way they attatch to the saddle. The billet goes thru the riggin dee or slot,  then back thru the loop and is pulled down tight. This allows them to be taken off when its time to clean your saddle or if you want to remove them for some other reason. They are very strong as the pull is against the part that is fully lined and stitched, not against the loop and there is no lace to wear out or stretch. The Loop acts as a keeper mainly with the pull and wear on the body of the billet itself. They are built horse length to fit a horse's belly. Remember to measure the buckles on your Back Cinch before you order. 1 3/4" Billets won't fit into 1 1/2" roller buckles, and 1 1/2" billets will be to narrow for 1 3/4" buckles. Be sure to get Billets the same size as your buckles are..
The listing is for one Pair of  1 3/4" Rear Loop Billets. These are built smoothout but you can also order a set roughout if that matches your saddle.I took a picture of the thickness from a batch of Rear and Off-billets I was building for reference. The second picture shows how the loops work. I usually build number at a time as it is more efficient and they all come out of the same exact leathers and weights of leather. I will oil these before I ship them.If you have questions email.
