Homemade ones work well too, either remnants from the fabric store of light stretchy naugahyde or other moisture resistant materials, just hem some heavy duty elastic in the edge, or a drawstring. It takes far longer than you would rationally expect, but patience, and not worrying about the time yields experience, and eventually success.
You can make a template with some paper of the saddle rough outline and leave a lot of extra for tucking under the sides to keep it in place. Once you get a prototype that works, just save the template so you can make more for other saddles. It takes a couple of tries to figure out the nose part, but it does work, even if it takes far too long to justify all the effort. I think several others have done this and posted their methods somewhere out there. It's just more for fun. I was able to source some US made waxed cotton a couple of years ago and made a cape from that, now I have some remnants I'll experiment with for another saddle cover; a couple of layers of waxed cotton to see how that works. Seems to stitch up very nicely. Who knows what other project you'll get into (making your own bags?)
