Gentlemen of the mounted community, for those of you who have known me over the past five years you will know that I came into this hobby and quickly wanted to improve my impression. One of those items that I have been lacking on is a decent nosebag, I did not want a Federal model for my CS impression, and I REALLY did not want the clone copy of the fed pattern in russett. Last week Paul mentioned that he was making a reproduction of the CS model in Ken's book and I immediatly contacted him about getting ahold of one. It arrived in the mail Friday and I could not wait to try it out. This is a VERY well made reproduction that I will point out the key details in the following report:
Canvas: Nice "correct" weight cotton duck, not too heavy not too light. The body is machine sewn and all the seams are very tight and well stitched.
Leather bottom: This is a good 5-6 oz. Veg tanned (maybe Oak) leather that holds true to the pattern and will serve me and my mare well in the following years.
Rope: Good quality Jute that is both strong and soft (I am sure Shiloh will appreciate the latter)
Grommets: Key detail here....HANDSEWN!!
In closing, if anyone is still in the same boat as I was and is in search of a good quality nosebag (or you just "need" another) then LOOK NO FURTHER!!! This is THE nosebag that will sharpen your Western CS impression.
