I've got a couple of Derby House but mainly Horeware rugs. Derby House, I buy 6.3 and HW, I buy 6.6, as they're not as roomy.

I've have literally just bought a Derby House full neck turnout rug @ 6.0ft (which is the rug size I normally purchase) and found it fit perfectly for my lad

have you tried weatherbeta? My friends swears by them for her narrow tb.

I find Derby House fit narrow TB's quite well. My only problems have been seams coming apart and poor quailty clips which break almost instantly

I've had 2 DH turnouts in different sizes for about 4 years, they have been worn by various different horses, including some serial rug trashers, and they are still going strong.
Regarding the fit, I would say that they are not as roomy in the neck and shoulder as Horseware rugs (for a big horse)
Tough due to the rip-stop, don't slip and very durable.

I've got two DH turnouts for my TB. Both fit really well. He also has a Rhino turnout and I'd say that the fit round the shoulders is similar but DH maybe come up a fraction bigger lengthwise.

I have had a LW turnout for a couple of years and the front clip buckles both broke fairly quickly (but rug still usable by threading straps through rings) and one seam also ripped a little where the surcingle attached. I only paid £20 in the sale though so it didn't do too badly.

A couple of months ago I bought one of these: http://www.derbyhouse.co.uk/Equestr...tahmail&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=em02-12

Baz has been wearing it pretty much permanently since then. The buckles seem to be much stronger than the last rug and its of a higher denier so less likely to rip. It hasn't leaked in the heaviest of rain and never slips. I think its an absolute bargain for the money.
