    I haven’t personally but there are still lots of people here who make things out of leather. Pretty much anything you could want.

    We have a large dog (100 lbs) that a collar wasn’t working well with – we had a leather maker making a harness for her. They did a very good job.

    I have been repairing my own harnesses for years, but have had to contract with leather-makers for traces. Last year I bought an old cobblers sewing machine with the hopes of improving my capabilities. Carl

    Does anybody here know where I can get a bridle fixed. I have an english bridle that the chin strap has been torn off of. I have been using it the way it is, but would like to get it fixed. The chin strap must have a purpose.

    There were signs that a leather shop would open in Vergennes, but so far I have not seen any life in the shop.
