Leffler's top-notch quality felts and fabrics
For every leatherworker, the materials and tools you use are just as important as your skill. That's why it's important to pick out a high-quality fabric that's right for your project.
Leffler's selection of Australian felts and fabrics includes wool fabric, cotton drill and neoprene. Here are the reasons why these fabrics are perfect for all your leathercraft needs.
- Wool felt – is one of the most durable fabrics that can be used in various applications, including saddle-making and shoe repair. Depending on the wool type, you can choose between different looks and textures.
- Neoprene – great fabric because of its waterproof properties and stain resistance. It's also lightweight, making it perfect to use in gear that needs to be durable yet lightweight.
- Cotton drill – offers durability and ease of care. It is also available at an affordable price point, making it perfect for saddlery work or crafting your own shoe repair kit.
But what about when it comes to your equestrian needs? We’ve got you covered.
Modern felt fabric for all saddlery works
Saddle pads are a great way to make sure your horse's back is comfortable, especially during long rides. It's also a good way to keep your saddle in good shape since it helps distribute the weight evenly across the seat.
Our selection of felt saddle pads is designed to give you the best of both comfort and durability. They are also available in different colours and sizes to match your horse's needs. We also have a range of saddle accessories like horsehair hat bands and horse rug fitting sheets to keep them protected.
Best felt for orthopaedic use
Orthotics are now essential in treating different foot conditions. Many medical practitioners are recommending various types of orthotics to treat different pain associated with foot, ankle or hip problems. If you are a podiatrist or customising shoes for this treatment, you might need special material to suit the needs of your client.
Leffler's Chamude felt fabrics are made from premium-grade materials that are excellent at wicking moisture away from the body. These fabrics, when used in orthotic products, offer breathability and comfort. While our range of mesh lining fabrics for sneakers offers breathability and durability.
