Per Smartpak "Stirrup Leathers to match the Toulouse saddles, and designed by Marcel Toulouse, Master French Saddler. These half hold lined leathers are made of fine calfskin with a nylon lining for years of use. Buckle end is riveted in a metal sleeve to reduce bulk under your leg for a closer contact in the saddle."
These are my favorite stirrup leathers. I purchased my second pair at the horse show last weekend. They match my Anatares saddle, they are not bulky, they are soft, the last pair lasted about 4 years (riding multiple horses, 6 days a week), and they are reasonably priced. At the tack store they were priced at $104 and were an additional 20% off (yeah sale). Smartpak has them for $102 and Dover at $99.
I also had the tack store make me this bracelet. I. Love. It. In fact I am wearing it right now...
I have the same bracelet, got it for christmas 2 years ago!
