Leather restraints - specific type and quality - 3/4/2015 11:45:48 AM

I'm shopping for wrist and ankle restraints, and know pretty much what I want, but am not sure of the right terminology, or whether specific products meet the criteria.

What I want is high quality restraints, with two types of leather: sturdy, durable leather straps with locking buckles, and lined with a softer leather for comfort.
I've found a few online that look good, but it's hard to tell without actually getting my hands on them. I'm not sure of the right terminology for the different types of leather, and often the product descriptions don't specify anything except "leather", which tells you virtually nothing.

What terms should I look for to describe the sturdy leather to make the restraints solid, durable and secure? Saddle leather? Vegetable tanned? Some other descriptive terms?
What type of leather is appropriate for the lining, to offer some padding and comfort without compromising the restraint's security? Glove leather? Apparel grade? Chrome tanned? Something else?

Here are some examples below that I'm considering. Can anyone comment on any of the following, or maybe recommend a product that you have tried?

It's hard to compare some things online especially when it comes to questions like how it feels, how it fits. I'd recommend shopping in person, sadly you just missed the FLEA.

The only adult toy store I know of that caters to BDSM in Mass is HubbaHubba I haven't been there in a few years so I can't assure you of their stock but if it isn't too far, might be worth a look.

They all look nice. I have enjoyed good service in the past when ordering from both JT's Stockroom and Mr. S Leather. In this case, I think the double buckle straps on the restraints from JT's Stockroom might provide a wider feeling of tightness as the straps will cinch near both outside edges of the restraints. On the other hand, the wide center strap on the Mr. S Leather restraints looks like it will provide a good balance of comfort and security in case the struggling gets serious ;-)

Let us know how your choice feels and performs.

One other suggestion - Humane Restraint locking wrist restraints. These are the same restraints used by psych hospitals and prisons. Humane has been making them for over a century.

Not all sites will sell them to the public, but some do. There are varieties available for different requirements.

Yep, medical restraints or home made. Cuffs are a good beginner leather working project.

For over the last 10+ years we have only received fantastic quality products from dungeonware.com in Bristol, CT - they have also made leather toys/tools for us - based on our design and specifications.
