Wickett & Craig Medium Brown Milled Traditional Harness is a color variant of Milled Traditional Harness leather produced by Wickett & Craig tannery in Curwensville, Pennsylvania. This vegetable-tanned leather features a deer-embossed grain pattern, hot-stuffed with a blend of waxes, oils, and tallows, and finished with a medium brown color treatment. The leather is manufactured using traditional milling and jack glazing processes to create a richly colored, textured surface suitable for high-end leather goods and equestrian applications.
The production of Medium Brown Milled Traditional Harness begins with vegetable tanning, followed by hot stuffing with Wickett & Craig's proprietary blend of waxes, oils, and tallows. The leather's top grain is embossed with a deer print pattern, then tumbled in large drums to accentuate the embossed texture. The jack glazing process brings oils to the surface, creating a glossy finish while preserving the natural grain characteristics. The back side receives a refinishing treatment with gum paste in medium brown, providing a waxy and smooth texture that complements the face finish.
Medium Brown Milled Traditional Harness is available in weights of 3.5 to 4 ounce (1.4 to 1.6 millimeters) and 5.5 to 6 ounce (2.2 to 2.4 millimeters), with a semi-soft firmness rating. Full sides average 24 square feet, while backs typically measure 18 to 20 square feet. The leather can also be split to lower weights ranging from 2 to 3 ounce up to 13 to 15 ounce for various applications. Panel sizes are offered in 0.5 square foot (6.5 by 11 inches), 1.0 square foot (13 by 11 inches), 1.5 square foot (19.5 by 11 inches), and 2.0 square foot (26 by 11 inches) formats.
The leather is available in grades number one and number two, representing Standard and Utility classifications with the least amount of imperfections. It is suitable for leather goods including belts, bags, and high-end accessories. The semi-soft temper and rich coloring make it appropriate for equestrian gear where both durability and aesthetic appeal are required. The medium brown finish provides a warm, traditional appearance that develops patina through use.
