Leather Body Classic V - Body harness, 275 g

275 grams, adjustable straps and a size range from S to XL: the Classic V is the second of the two Leather Body harnesses described with crossed straps. Its name suggests a V, while the manufacturer's description speaks of crossed straps — word for word the same wording as the Basic's. Fifteen grams separate the two references, and that is the only published difference.

Why choose this model?

• 275 g: fifteen grams above the Basic, the only figure separating the two.
• A V in the name, a cross in the description: the manufacturer's two sources diverge.
• Nothing to attach to: no permissible load is published for this reference.
• Sizes S to XL stated, with no chest measurement given.
• Leather alone, with no chain and no metal stud.

How to use it

1. Check the actual geometry on arrival, cross or V, before adjusting.
2. Adjust it seated, back straight, then check standing.
3. Keep two fingers' clearance under each strap.
4. Check that nothing presses into the hollow of the armpit.
5. Loosen a notch if a strap marks after twenty minutes.

The Basic shares the same description for fifteen grams less, and the studded model rises to 385 g. See also understanding materials and starting BDSM safely.

Care and precautions

Leather goes neither in a machine nor under a tap: a barely damp cloth, saddle soap if needed, air-drying well away from any radiator. A piece dried too fast hardens and cracks, and nothing softens it afterwards. Store it hanging rather than folded. The manufacturer does not publish what the metal parts are made of: with a known nickel allergy, test at the wrist before wearing it for long. On wearing: two fingers' clearance under each strap, nothing pressing into the hollow of the armpit, and since no permissible load is published, this harness is worn but does not hold — it never serves as an attachment point. Loosen at the first tingling.

Frequently asked questions

Cross or V?

How does it differ from the Basic?

Fifteen grams. Size range and description are identical at the manufacturer.

Which size should I take?

A range of S to XL is stated, with no chest measurement. Measure yourself and check the adjustment on arrival.

What material is it?

Leather. Neither thickness, nor tanning, nor origin is published.

Can it be worn under clothing?

It is designed to be seen. Under thin fabric, the straps show clearly.

SoPigalle tip: photograph the piece laid flat as you open the parcel, before putting it on. With two references this close, it is the only way to know which one you received if an exchange becomes necessary.
