WHY MOHAIR & ALPACA

Mohair is the lustrous and strong hair of the Angora goat. Often referred to as the "diamond fiber," the distinctive properties of mohair have made it a highly desired fiber for clothing and home furnishings. Prior to the development of synthetics, mohair was the fiber of choice for horse cinches. Due to the increased demand for quality products, today's saddlemakers and horseman have rediscovered the benefits of mohair for cinches, as well as breast collars, mecates, and reins.

• Natural fiber
• Is hair and will not shrink like wool
• Soft luxurious hand and rich luster combine with great durability for a long lasting product
• High affinity for dyes, produces exceptional colors
• Resilient, is not easily crushed or matted
• Breathes and wicks moisture

Alpaca has the same qualities above as mohair. However, the colors available are natural un-dyed shades. Alpaca does have a slightly higher loft and a bit more give to it than mohair.
