Hi,
Im about to order some new stirrup leathers, do I include the buckle when measuring my old ones for comparison or not? Only asking as mine measure 155cm including the buckle so not sure if I should get 150cm or 160cm as 150 be the same if the buckle isnt included. Confused lol
 
I use inches. They come in 48", 56" or 60" for teenager, lady, man. If you are taller or smaller than average then choose appropriately. If you measure your current ones to see which size is closest, you will know whether to include the buckle or not by whether the size matches. Hope that makes sense! Bear in mind that your current leathers may have stretched a bit over time.
 
Thanks they are for my dressage saddle and Im quite tall. Mine measure just over 61 including the buckle so Im thinking they were 60 or 150cm but I cant go any shorter, yet dont want to end up with them too long, The next size up is 63 inch or 160, so Im sort of in between. I think I need to go with the 60 inch. Thanks for replying
 
Thanks, these are metric 150, 160, 170. I think I need to go for 150 which is 59 inches? Thanks fpr replying
