Our Alum Tan Latigo is easily recognized by its signature yellow center. This leather is firm, dense, and highly durable. The tanning process compresses the hide fibers, creating exceptional strength with minimal stretch. Ideal for boot laces, saddle strings, and rugged strapping, it’s the go-to choice when you need a tough, dependable latigo that holds up under hard use.
