The John Whitaker International Stirrup Leathers are designed for equestrians seeking a reliable, high-performance connection between rider and saddle. Featuring a durable bonded calfskin exterior and an innovative anti-stretch webbed core, these leathers provide exceptional stability and maintain consistent length even during rigorous training sessions. While they offer a sophisticated look with tonal stitching and branded embossing, users should note that as with all natural leather products, consistent care and oiling are required to maintain their suppleness and longevity.

Yes, their durable construction and anti-stretch design make them highly suitable for the demands of show jumping and eventing.
Stirrup length is subjective, but a general starting point is to measure from your armpit to your fingertips while the stirrup is attached.
No, the internal webbed core is specifically designed to resist stretching, keeping the leathers at their original length.
Yes, they are compatible with both leather and synthetic saddles, provided the saddle has standard stirrup bars.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can cause the leather to dry out.
Ensure the leather is clean and lightly conditioned; if stiff, gently flex the leather near the holes to soften.
Apply a coat of quality leather oil or balsam and allow it to penetrate the calfskin overnight.
Check that the buckles are set to the exact same numerical hole on both sides; if they still feel uneven, verify the stirrup bars on the saddle are level.
To install, slide the leathers onto your saddle bars with the buckle end at the top, ensuring they lie flat against the saddle flap to prevent chafing. These are compatible with most standard English saddles featuring traditional stirrup bars. For care, wipe down the leathers with a damp cloth after each ride to remove sweat and dirt. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner monthly to keep the calfskin soft. Avoid using harsh synthetic cleaning sprays that could degrade the bond between the calfskin and the internal webbed core.
