Hey guys I'm hoping you eagle eyes shoppers
Can help me out. I'm looking for an extra full or very large full hunting breastplate. Doesn't sound to difficult right I'd also like it to be a three point not 5 in black and elasticated with preferably clips to attach it to the saddle I know, I know I'm a fussy madam :) I have managed to find a couple but were talking around £150-200 ideally I'd like to spend a little less than that. I was hoping max £60 can anyone help me out or am I asking for the impossible.

I had the same problem but a little thinking 'outside the box' solved it. I bought a full size 5 point and then had the straps that go to the saddle and girth lengthened by six inches.
 
I struggled to get one big enough round neck, tried shires and no chance of it fitting, stayed with full but not sure of make of mine but is brown with small bit elastic but didn't have clips to d rings just buckles so used old clips I already had, cost me less than £40. Fits round neck, on second to biggest hole!

I have an XL jefferies one but pretty sure it was a lot more than your £60 budget. You will struggle to find an elasticated one unless you get it custom made

How about this one? Gives a warmblood option which will be bigger than full and you can get the clips yourself and that makes it a little bigger anyway

just looked on ebay and found what you are looking for but in brown

I have a Dever one, it's pretty generously sized - my young boy is xf in bridle but full with room to spare on this. They do make an extra full one though. Really pleased with the quality of it. £100 for standard, £114 for hunt weight one, so still over budget, (but a bit lower than your 150-200 pound search)- keep an eye on eBay I guess, or get something adjusted by a saddler?
 
Sorry, just seen you wanted elastic. Ignore my previous post. I think I remember an xf elastic Mark Todd one when I was looking?
 
MARK TODD!!! all the way its elasticated, 3 point the only thing it doesnt have is clips but you can buy them on ebay for 30p and put them on yourself! :)

My 17.2 jumps much better in this than his old 5 point :)
