Non-stretch leathers

[Dizzle]

Having just spent a small fortune on a new Albion saddle this morning, I'm on the look out for some new stirrup leathers, I've got the normal full leather ones at the moment but one has stretched (despite me NEVER using them to mount) half a CM longer than the other.

So this time I'm looking at getting some with a Nylon core.

So can someone recommend (or find on ebay!!!) some good quality but not too expensive leathers that won't stretch?

Must be dark brown and suitable for a 5ft8 lady

Just do a search on eBay for non stretch leathers....or treeless leathers - you'll find a few that way.

I've got the Passier ones with my Albion saddle and really like them. However, the only brown they appear to do is Havanna. I am not sure how dark this is.

I have these

They are a good few years old now and havn't stretched at all.

Hummm, lovely but I was hoping that they might come in less than £50 (c'mon I've just bought a saddle AND had the farrier out to reattach a shoe, I NEED to save pennies! )

What, they didn't throw a pair of leathers in for you?
I always work on getting something "thrown in" with any major purchase. Threatened to walk out of the shop when I was buying a pair of expensive long competition boots when they said that I would need to pay extra for the boot bag. Needless to say I got the bag for nothing.

I have an Albion saddle and jefferies elite leathers I have had them for about 6 or 7 years but they havnt stretched and I think they were about £50 bit probably more now if they are even still available?

Is that sort of leather safe to jump in?

Imagine so.
