Our Stübben Leather

Each animal hide is unique in its character based on species, race and life story. Through the tanning process these character features are even highlighted. Our metal free and vegetable tanned leathers radiate elegance and warmth. The natural structure, pore pattern, folds and scards remain visible. 

Our Leather is exclusively crafted for Stübben. It is robust yet smooth and supple in use. Through refining the material during the tanning process our leather gets its typical grippy surface. Durability, insesitivity to sweat and a pleasant thermal behaviour are additional outstandig features of Stübben Leather. Further Stübben Leather is extremely skin- and environmentally friendly. 

Step 1: Cleaning

Use a moist cloth or sponge and our Stübben saddle soap to clean your tack. The PH neutral soap has been developed in cooperation with our tanneries to specifically clean our high quality Stübben Leather. Consequently our saddle soap is the ideal solution for the long term performance of our leather.  

In case you own a Stübben Custom saddle, please only carefully clean the colorful leather applications. Heavy cleaning might lead to fading of the color. 

Frequency of cleaning: regularly after usage

Step 2: Conditioning

In order to sustain the suppleness and grip of our Stübben Leather it is important to groom the leather products with our quality conditioner "Hamanol". Hamanol is also best applied with a moist cloth and not to thick. After being fully absorbed polish the leather with a wool cloth. Done!  

Frequency of conditioning: NOT after every use - ca. 1 time per week
