are male/female screws which thread together and are used in high stress areas in place of rivets.
Inside Floggers
Flogger tresses are the strands which attach to handles which are then covered by wrapping or braiding. L'Varado's signature series floggers feature special balancing and weighting. Knots do two things
finishing and bumps they create serve to infold the hand in a natural gripping spot for the flogger. It's the balance that makes swinging even the heaviest flogger more accurate and less fatiguing. Each design has been refined and streamlined through use and practice until only the finest flogger features remain.
Hardware
Nickle coated hardware resists rusting and matures over time. Light amounts of leather dressing buffed off will enhance the shine.
Optionally locking buckles
have a loop through which a small lock can be inserted making the piece more secure.
Restraint Rings
A D-ring is shaped like the capital letter by which it is named. A tri-ring is a triangle welded shut, enclosing the restraint ring. Metal O-rings are used in the center of the Hogtie.
Sizing Your Cuffs
Our sizing refers to size of cuff pad itself. The strap which holds it shut is longer. In years of sizing people to cuffs, L'Varado has found that a seven inch wrist takes a ten inch padded cuff, while ankles are usually four inches larger than the same person's wrists.
Use a tape measure or piece of string and a ruler to get an accurate measure around the wrists and ankles, record the exact measure within a quarter inch on the order form, then select from
8" - petite
10" - small
12" - medium or
14" - large sizes.
Custom work is available for sizes outside this range.
Washing leather
Leather pieces can be washed gently in a basin with Bronner's soap or antibacterial soap. Towel the piece to remove surface water then lay it flat to dry.
Some stop at this point, others dress the dry piece with Pecard's leather dressing or saddle soap.
