We start with the best fitting trees available, eliminating the need for expensive pads, and hand-shape our seats so the rider sits comfortably in the correct position.

The Style
All of our saddles and patterns have been designed and honed by Matt to create a distinctive and flowing style, balancing functionality and beauty.
- 03
The Technique
With 25+ years in the trade, Matt blends traditional and modern techniques to craft saddles that endure Australia’s harshest conditions.

Edges are polished and dyed, and every saddle is oiled and conditioned before it leaves our workshop. Only the best leather and fittings, finished to last.
