Saving up for posh bridles (probably in the very distant future!

And am torn between the Sabre Cordoba & the Albion KB (there's about £30 difference in price) and was just looking for opinions on either?

I have the sabre cordoba, its lovely although I have to admit I find the sheepskin crank a little fiddly, but apart from that its a gorgeous bridle and has worn very well.
 
Right so 1 Sabre & 1 Albion bridle then

I have a sabre bridle (just a standard one) and love the leather but saw the Albion in my saddlers & fell in love!

Gah I'm torn!
 
I've got both, would probably go for the albion if I bought a third. The padding on the headpiece is softer and overall I think it is slightly better quality. The Sabre comes with a wider choice in nosebands though.
 
Sabre as it's the only one I've owned. I've just bought a really really lovely soft Sabre but that was because it was very well loved in its previous home!

I've never had an albion or seen one tbh

I love my Albion. The quality of the leather is fabulous and, sad I know, but I really enjoy cleaning it. I was able to choose a slightly narrower noseband for mine instead of the standard one which I thought was a bit chunky for my boy.
 
Albion - Simba (Paper Tiger) has a lovely black one, which looks lovely on him of course - and this season he will be modelling it with his new Devoucoux, also in black....(with matching accessories).

Well, the boy has to look his best!

Seriously though, I do love Albions - they never seem to rub, and the leather is lovely.
 
Albion come up very small if my experience is anything to go by. I bought an A XF for my mare and it literally wouldn't go anywhere near her. She is a comfortable XF in Jeffries and Stubben. I have no experience of Sabre's sizing, but they are said to be beautiful quality.
