Latigo leather is cowhide leather that is combination tanned. First it is chrome tanned, then it is vegetable tanned.[1] Before modern combination tanning, latigo had been combination tanned with alum and gambier.

It is used for [[leather saddle|saddle seats]] and [[Leather straps|straps]].

Latigo is usually infused with oils and waxes. Techniques such as hot-stuffing, wet-stuffing, and fat liquoring have been devised to increase the amount of oil and wax the hide can hold.[2] Due to oil/wax infusion, and its partial chrome tanning, the leather is moderately flexible, less rigid than full vegetable tans, but more rigid than full chrome tans. Because of its weight and tanning process, latigo is among the most expensive cattle hide leathers.[3]

Latigo is frequently manufactured in weights of 8-12oz, appropriate for use in belts and straps for bags and cases. Lighter latigos in the 3-7oz range are also manufactured, although in smaller quantities.[citation needed] Much Latigo is manufactured in black, or various hues of brown and red. However, latigos in brighter colors are also available, white included.[4] Bright colors are achieved by bleaching the hide prior to dying, and by applying pigment to the surface of the hide.

Latigo leather (Spanisch látigo = the whip) is a firm, durable and porous smooth cow leather, which is particularly common in horse riding. It is used for saddle seats and straps. It can be vegetable or chromium-tanned and is characterized by the fact that it is oiled or waxed after tanning and dyeing. This makes a soft grip, which makes latigo leather also popular for dog leashes.

Latigo leather is mostly manufactured in black, brown tones and darker red shades. Brighter colors are seldom. White is archieved by bleaching prior to dying and applying a pigment based finis.

In Western saddlery, latigos are the name of the straps securing the cinches to the saddle rigging. They are named for the latigo leather which is used to manufacture them.

The disadvantage of latigo leather is that it can lead to discolouration on clothing, skin and dog fur, as the dye is sometimes not abrasion resistant enough because of the porosity and strong fatliquoring. This can be tested. Moisten a white cloth and rub the leather ten times. Feast, but not by force. Depending on the discoloration of the flap, the sensitivity is aceptable or not.
