Which stirrup leathers that don't stretch?

[sheepdog]

Had a pair of Shires for a few years and one has stretched from 60" to 63". I've just bought a pair of jeffries at twice the price so will see how I get on.

Just to note, I don't mount using my stirrups aandd regularly swap them around.

I have Jaguar ones, they were about £80 I think and they are lovely, soft and haven't stretched at all.

Leather ones with a nylon inner, brilliant

Jaguar / Dabbs ones with a nylon core and the low profile buckle.

I have a few sets of stubben ones that are great, have had them for years and don't seem to have stretched. Are a little more pricey but thought it was worth it after the same thing happened to me and had a pair of shires that stretched by about 3 inches haha

These from Kate Negus much stronger and more robust than the webbing core, leather wrapped versions. I have pair of these and an old pair from another maker. The old pair are at least 15 years old and still identical and the original length.

I recently treated myself to a pair of John Whitaker bonded stirrup leathers. I think they were about £50 and so far so good! Took them off this morning after a couple of months wear, and they are still perfectly even. Nice, smart looking leathers without a silly price.
