| Glenroyal uses only the finest quality, top
grade 'Pit Tanned' hides. Skilled
curriers select the skins that are suitable for carrying the
Glenroyal mark. |

|
|
 |
| Great skill and experience is needed to produce
top grade bridle leather, and
individual attention must be given to every skin. |
| |
|
|
 |
| Each piece
of leather is cut individually, as no two pieces of leather
are the same. Here we see a Glenroyal craftsman at work hand
cutting finished bridle leather. |
