Van-Jan leather cheekpieces are precision-cut from quality leather and finished with contrast stitching for a clean, professional look. Sold as a pair, they are the essential component for building custom bridles or replacing worn cheekpieces — connecting the headpiece and browband to the bit with a neat hook-stud fastening.

Key Features

  • Hook-Stud Bit Attachment — Fast-action hook stud fastening at the lower end allows quick bit changes without tools, saving valuable time at competitions
  • Buckle Adjustment at Top — Standard roller-bar buckle at the headpiece end for precise length adjustment to correctly position the bit in the corner of the mouth
  • Contrast Stitch Detail — Fine white contrast stitching along both edges adds a refined finish and reinforces the leather against splitting at stress points
  • Consistent Leather Weight — Medium-weight leather that holds its shape over time without becoming rigid or cracking under regular use
  • Sold as a Matched Pair — Both cheekpieces are cut from the same leather batch for consistent colour and thickness

Ideal For

Building bespoke bridles, replacing individual worn cheekpieces, and upgrading older bridles with fresh components without buying a complete new bridle.

Available in Black and Brown · Full, Cob, and Pony sizes

Care & Conditioning

Clean leather with a soft damp cloth after use. Apply a quality leather conditioner every 4–6 weeks, or more frequently in wet or cold conditions. Do not use household soaps, detergents, or oil-based products. Store away from direct heat and sunlight. A well-maintained Van-Jans bridle will last many years of regular use.
