seveneves Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BondoBobCustomSaddles Report post Posted February 8, 2011 I too, use the Stohlman chart to measure for fenders. They work just fine. Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
