Take a pass on these.
These leathers wore very quickly. The holes have stretched and the actual leather seems to be disintegrating. They are also difficult to adjust while mounted. Seems like nothing is made well anymore! Just need a simple, unlined stirrup leather like the good old Stubbens!

Matches saddle well
Love these stirrup leathers. They match the bates saddle I am using them on. The holes are punched perfectly. Plus I don’t have to worry about them stretching out.

Too short!
I’m a short person- all my past stirrup leathers have been 48 inches so when I received these I was shocked that they were too short for me due to the placement of the holes. The leathers werent long enough to make it to the keepers when I had them on my saddle.
They were also REALLY hard to get on my saddle (also a Toulouse) because these are a little thicker it took me a long time to get them on the stirrup bars.
All that being said the leather is amazing quality- it’s very soft right out of the box, so I will definitely be ordering another (longer) pair!

Leathers are very soft and not bulky
While the leathers aren’t a perfect match for my saddle, I do not mind. They are very soft and non bulky under my leg. The saddle I purchased was a test ride so it came with some very slight wear to it, but with continued use, the leathers haven’t worn on the flap like some tend to do.

So Far, So Good
I've been using these leathers for a few weeks now and they are holding up. They're a little thick/difficult to move on the stirrup bar for adjustments, but I imagine that will improve as they break in. Leather seems to be good quality, especially for the price.

Nice at first
After about 6 months the nylon has started to come through the holes. They were great until then.

Nice at first
I purchased these quite a while back (+- 2 years) and liked them in the beginning, they're soft and matched my saddle well. They are a little thick making adjusting while mounted a bit more difficult. But, I can say surely after a lot of regular use that these will not hold up. The leather is so soft that after lots of adjusting that the leather begins to fray. Not only this, but the leather stretches while the nylon does not. This makes it extremely frustrating to adjust because you have to line up the nylon hole to the leather hole while the nylon is fraying out of the leather -- I literally spent 5+ minutes trying to adjust one leather.

Exactly what I was promised
Leather is supple and soft without feeling weak or flimsy. Easily adjustable both on the ground and when mounted. While it is too soon to tell how they will or will not stretch, I am pleased with my purchase.

Great quality and value
I have these leathers on two other saddles and bought these for a third. I am using them in conjunction with a pair of Lorenzini stirrurps, another product I would highly recommend.
