Where do they stamp it with measurements? I need to know what width the one I'm currently using is.
Anyone with a Jeffries saddle?

Can't you just measure it if it isn't stamped anywhere, your saddler should know the width from the measurements

No, it's not that, the one I'm using at the moment belongs to a friend, it fits so nicely that I want to be sure what width it is before I purchase one online. The one I am borrowing is brand new so I know (as well as I can) that if I get the same width online, I should be on the right track. Then my saddler can do any flocking needed. It's not that I don't know how to measure them, I do, it's simply that I don't want to end up buying something that is listed as 'medium' and is actually narrow or something like that. Apparently Jeffries are stamped with their width, that's why I want to know where this is as it is the most reliable measurement for me under the circumstances.

It's on the sweat flap under the girth straps after the serial number.
I'm selling a brand new medium one for a VERY reasonable price as I'm fed up of looking at it but its only 16"?

Thank you
sadly having ummed and ahhhed about sizing the other day I decided that the least I can get away with for regular use is 16 1/2, ideally 17" they are lovely though, and I'm really happy with the one I'm borrowing, considering how much I loved my bates it says a lot that I like the Jeffries!
I will check the width as soon as I get up the yard.

Yes they are lovely, as I said earlier I've just sold my bates, which was my pride and joy, I was very worried I wouldn't find anything quite so comfy for me or Ben... Jeffries ticks the boxes very well.

OP, I have a almost new 17" MW in black (18 months old now, but only used about 10 times)
Which one of the Jeffries are you after tho?

Both my jeffries saddles have the width stamped on the metal bar under the stirrup flap.

Another with width stamped on stirrup bar. Think it's the left one (50% chance of being correct there!).

I'm after a falcon vsd in brown (because I want to show him in it) the one I'm using at the moment is shockingly m fit, can't quite believe it but it's stamped "m" on the bar, and fits Ben perfectly and he goes really nicely in it. He was in a wide gullet with the bates :/

I /think/ someone was selling one of those on the 'Saddles for sale and wanted' group on facebook the other day. If you put a wanted post on there then the seller will probably reply.
(Good choice btw! Got a wide VSD in brown for my girl, so comfy!)

Thank you! I will take a peek. I'm just keeping a north eye out at the moment for a bargain. As I have the use of this one for a while as my friends mare is just about to have a foal so she doesn't need it, still, having ridden in one now and knowing how nice it feels for both Ben and I... I'm definitely getting my own!

I have a farrington go, think its a vsd at the moment and I hate it with a vengeance, I know she had a jeffires before I bought her and the Sadler said it was a perfect fit, so eventually I'm going to get my act together, sell my uncomfy saddle and get a jeffires... Eventually...

Jeffries don't seem to be as popular nowadays, but l love them - my stamford wh saddle is a wide fit & is a lovely fit for my native pony a forward cut interfers with her shoulders. Its so comfy l've spent many hours hacking & used it for showing. Whilst my ISH has a medium fit hawk event thats got a springy seat but its same as the other saddle being very comfy. But my saddles are getting old but l try to look after them as best as l can

No you're right, they don't... I have always adored their bridles, they are lovely, but never really looked at or taken an interest in their saddles.... What on earth was I thinking!

Shame you aren't closer - I've got falcon VSD's in W and WW sat in my spare bedroom which you could have tried for fit.
