Horse Hair

Description of the Product

For centuries horsehair has been used to make fine art, jewellery, violin strings, brushes, belts and other beautiful objects. It has been woven into clothing at least as far back as the Bronze age Celts. Horse hair is slow to absorb moisture, so it stays relatively warm even in wet conditions. It is durable, and longer fishing lines were achieved by braiding the hairs together. As a readily available material it is still used as a natural stuffing in chairs. For authenticity, as well as its superior qualities, it can still be used for example in helmet padding and naturally on top of the helmet as traditional decoration.
