Leathers with small spaced holes?

[Nosey]

Does anyone know of a make other than Amerigo (lovely but out of my budget!!) that do leathers with small spaces btwn. holes?
I currently have some old but good quality ones - lasted ages but holes almost an inch apart - or it seems that way! I feel in my dressage length I am btwn sizes ie down one hole bit too long and up one too short. Hubby suggested I put extra holes in current ones as cheaper option but think they would then be too close...and may split downwards?
Anyway sorry for ramble...any suggestions much appreciated!
Ta!

Try Bates or Albions, they've got ½" holes

and have a look on www.surreyequestrian.co.uk as they're probably cheaper from them!

Prestige....

Just bought some second hand ones and they are fab.

Friend has a pair of Harry Dabbs with small spaced holes, and one pair of my Barnsby have. Some Stubbens do as well.

My OH makes buffalo leather stirrup leathers (I got some as a present, fab!) Proper made to measure so could choose the length and hole distance. They aren't on his website yet as he doesn't really do them commercially, but you could contact him through the website if you wanted to chat (he's not expensive either

)

Have you looked at the John Whittaker ones - I have a set of these that have lasted over 8 years. They are as good as the Amerigo ones imo although I guess they may have changed in that time!

I have Kieffer ones, they are similar to Jaguar/ Albion/ Prestige but are a lot cheaper! Have had mine for about 4 years! Think they were around £30

Jaguar, they have fab buckles and small spaces.

Mine are stephens I think (2nd hand from ebay) and have very nice close together holes!
