Which leather gaiters to buy!!!???

[holzrokz]

I've been looking at some black leather gaiters to get for my birthday to go with some new black short boots i've found already.
Parents won't spend too much on them and i've found one pair that seem nice and a reasonable price.
Just wondering if anyone on here has seen this pair or could reccomend and others in a similar price range

thanks to anyone who can help!

What size are you? I have some dublin leather gaiters for sale in small adult size, never used as too small!

 

[holzrokz]

i measured my calf and it measured as 14'' width by 14'' length which appears to be a small on the pair i've looked at, but they're all different.

These are 13.5 inch calf and 16.5 inch height, PM if you want them I only want about £20

 

[holzrokz]

ah damn it, i tried on a pair (of synthetic ones just to try on different sizes) that were that size but they were too small around the calf and too long. Thanks for telling me about them though

no worries hun

I dont know if they still make them, but i brought a pair of william funnel ones about 4 years ago, and they were AMAZING... would choose them over all the expensive brands... ariat, treadstep etc... i think they cost me about £30-£40.... imo worth double that if not more. Really couldnt rate them enough!

i love the ariat close contact chaps, so soft and comfortable! Prob a bit overpriced tho. Tuffa do some nice ones for cheaper

I have treadstep ones and i adore them so so comfy but look very smart

 

[holzrokz]

can't find any william funnell ones, must have stopped making them i guess.

The ariat and tredstep ones seem the nicest, but very expensive! theres one pair on ebay that are reduced to £45 with free postage but in brown! Hopefully some black ones will come up.

Do they last a long time? Anyone had a pair for over 5 years?

I have a pair of Tuffa leather gaiters, not too expensive (£30/£40 I think?) are still in good condition after 3 years with a lot of wearing and I haven't looked after them very well. Definitely worth looking at

Just had a look at some tuffa ones, they're a nice pair but they're £52.99, which is a bit pricey without postage. I'll have a look for some more
