I'm looking for some good - not super expensive, black leathers that wont stretch too quickly. Any recommendations. Are the more expensive brands worth it?
I've got sabre ones that are at least 15+ yrs old, I've absolutely hammered them, done lots of mounting from the ground, not regularly swopped them round or cleaned them as often as I should, spent the last 5yrs punching a range of holes higher up so they also fit my growing child when she rides her, & they still come up nice enough for best, & if they've stretched I haven't noticed, they certainly don't appear to have done.
I have just bought some Lemetex ones off eBay - they had only been used for turnout classes and they're almost in new condition. 50 odd quid new - I paid 13.50.
