I finally got a leather harness from YupCollars recently! Thankfully, my insurance was willing to cover it after I filled out a bit of paperwork for their health related services program. It took a few months from applying to approval and then for the harness to get made, but it was worth the wait.
The harness is a custom straight-front guide harness with a fixed semi rigid counterbalance handle. I got the harness in brown, brown thread, honey sheepskin, and silver colored hardware which I believe is nickel. The counterbalance handle is 3 inches, and the guide handle is a 12 inch off-set handle.
Photos of the harness and short video of the harness in use below!
I'm not used to brand new leather and it feels odd grab and hold onto so I'm holding onto the guide handle super awkwardly in the video. I'll have to get a handle cover for it eventually.
Also please ignore the weird holes/scratched areas on my computer chair, we used to have a cat and she loved to scratch that chair up.
I didn't pull those fabrics out and leave them that btw, they were like that when I got to the store. Our Joann is often a little messy because customers don't put things back where they belong.
Warning for the sound of small metal objects (probably my keys) jingling, footsteps, and the muffled speaking of strangers in this video. This is more of a "these sounds may annoy you" warning.
We've been in this particular store many times, so she knew where to take me without much directional input from me. We always go to the back of the store to the fabric section, and that's directly in the back of the store.
