It features delicately hand skived lower sides where a thin stripe of the leather top surface is cut back, thus exposing the lighter coloured suede beneath. The copper rivets are also hammered by hand with our usual high level of attention to detail. As is the case with all of our hand manufactured saddles, the Swift proudly sports a metal nameplate at the rear and in addition two embossed graphic details on the sides featuring the saddle name and incorporating an icon of a Swift in flight.
