Members seveneves Posted February 8, 2011 Members Report Posted February 8, 2011 I'm building a saddle for a guy and I want the fenders to fit him just right and I don't really know how to measure for that. Or if I were to get his inseam measurement, what do I do with it? Or maybe there's a thread in here somewhere that covers this already maybe you could point me in that direction. I want to have the stirrup leathers exposed and I'll be using blevins buckles. Any help is appreciated. Quote

I don't have them in front of me right now or I could quote out of the book. Will look when I get home if no one has the answer. Quote
Members BondoBobCustomSaddles Posted February 8, 2011 Members Report Posted February 8, 2011 I too, use the Stohlman chart to measure for fenders. They work just fine. Bob Quote

Bob I found my stohlman books and read through them pretty good. Did you make the fender jig like he shows or do you just use the chart shown there? 60% of the inseam is what I use Steve Is that from the floor to the crotch? That seems like a real simple method. Is that pretty reliable? Quote

Yes, seems to be reliable, I've been doing it that way for several years with no problems. Quote
