Hitched Horse hair belt

Wild American alligator in fine finishes of chocolate, safari distress and black! Amazing quality and feel, heat pressed and sewn for years of durability. The craft of hitching into colorful bridles and belts flourished in the prisons of 12 western states from about 1885 through the 1920s. (One wonders if the term “doing a hitch” was related to this inmate activity.) Horses were always kept on the prison farms, so most of the required materials were inexpensive and readily available. I have 32-38 in-stock for NFR, after this year I am unsure of availability.  Several weeks lead time on sizes above 38. Buckles sold separately on the "Buckles" page.
