best type of dressage leathers?

I've had the T bar and the stud webbers.
I think the T bar ones were Bates webbers, they were much neater but weren't a 'proper' havana colour, they were a bit reddish in colour.
The stud ones were Jefferies I think, they were a beautiful colour, very havana, but I found them hard to adjust correctly without a big loose bit sticking up from my foot
But I am quite cack handed
Both of these were fairly expensive, although the Bates were non stretch, which I like.

I've heard good things about the Wintec webbers (T bar)

I have the Jeffries T bar dressage leathers. I bought them for a treeless saddle, but kept them now I've gone back to treed. They are lovely. They don't stretch due to the nylon core and have no bulk under your thigh. They aren't cheap, about £52, but I would highly recommend them.
Really like the tbar, they can be a fiddle to adjust until you get used to them, but sooo much more comfortable. I had a wintec pair (I think), leather, didn't stretch for the 2 years i owned them.
I've got some of these

They are lovely, the riveted plate that attaches the leather to the buckle means you don't get the bulges at the stirrup bar that you do with normal leathers, but they are easy to adjust. They have had some hammer but so far no sign of any stretching
