Special products: Trainer

We like special products, designs that are different and unique. We already showed you the Choker as part of the special products section for dogs. 

Now it's time for the Trainer. Handmade in England in bridle butt leather. It features a brass trigger hook to attach it to the dog collar. The width of the leather is ¾” and this product is special because you can make it longer or shorter if you want thanks to its hookers. 

It's available to order with nickel or brass fittings, in ten different leather colours, in eleven thread colours. On size (72” – 180 cm).

Why not try a new way to walk your dog?

New products: Choker Non Elasticated Webbing, 001, 002, 003 and 004

We have a section where we speak about Special Products, the products that we like to comment on because they have some different details that make each product unique, such as the Quick Release, the Choker or the Tantalus. 

Today, we'd like to open a new section called New Products, where we'll speak about Hardy&Parsons' new designs added to the catalogue, showing some photos and giving detailed information about them. To start with this section, we'd like to show you the Choker Non Elasticated Webbing. 

Some months ago we received new webbing in the showroom. We found it beautiful and special because it had high visibility colours on it. 

After some designs and testing we finally had the first samples...

And now, you can find the Choker Non Elasticated Webbing 001, 002, 003 and 004 on our catalogue, ready to order. We hope you like them!

Special products: Conical Flask

Apart from the Tantalus, there is another special product within the Drinks Cabinet section. It is the Conical Flask.

Handmade in England in bridle butt leather, the conical flask consists of a leather case lined in suede and a conical drinking glass flask which fits inside it. 

Designed to be attached to the saddle, it can be opened easily with one hand using a thumb whilst still holding on to the reins with the other. 

Don't you think it's a perfect idea for a perfect product?

Special products: Drinks Cabinet or Tantalus

Do you remember the post where we talked about the Quick Release Belts as some of our special products?

Well, today we’d like to show you another special Hardy&Parsons' product: the Drinks Cabinet or Tantalus.

Why Tantalus? In Greek mythology the name Tantalus is linked to something highly desirable yet always just out of that person's reach and was adopted as a term to describe a particular drinks cabinet.

The classic combination of English oak and bridle leather blend together superbly in these beautiful drinks cases which are built by hand in our workshops.

Craftsmen work to exacting standards, moulding best leather around the solid oak sided and lined cabinet prior to hand stitching the seams and handles.

Solid brass locks, gun case corners and handle plates are then fitted with every screw individually tightened and aligned by hand before lining out with bridle leather in the fold up table and pigskin suede interiors.

A set of eight numbered pewter tumblers for place drawing or simple recognition are included together with the facility to hold three bottles, (for example two standard spirit or wine, plus champagne) and four small mixers.

It is the ideal piece for many occasions! Find them here!

Special products: The Quick Release Belt

We do like all our products, but there are some that are very special. The design, the original idea… makes them particular and unique.

Today we would like to show you The Quick Release Belt and show you why it’s so interesting. 

We believe the Quick Release belt owes its origin to the firemen of the early 19th Century, when fire tenders were equipped with this type of buckle on straps retaining the coiled hoses which once on site could be released quickly with a single handed movement.

The buckle was rediscovered in a local antique market and immediately its potential as a belt buckle was spotted so we asked our buckle makers if they could recreate it; the adaptation and use as a belt buckle was truly inspirational as it combines originality with functionality.

Since then the iconic Quick Release belt has been the hallmark of the Hardy & Parsons collection.

Today the Quick Release belt comes in bridle leather as well as bridle leather combined with webbing, whilst the buckles and keepers come in solid brass or pewter and are offered in two sizes: 1 ¼” and 1 ½”.
