Why heavens to Betty Foy I reckon what you all need to do is ride them saddles with a genuine cowpoke shirt and nothing less. I got to hand it to ya on that hardware solution however, its a mighty fine answer to a common problem that faces us saddle ridin tramps nearly every day. When ya git too much stretch in your leather I have ta tell ya, the final fix is to reduce the over consumption of them home cooked vittles, especially the pork fat and biscuits. If'en that don't work well, just drink a shot o' whiskey grab a thicker saddle and do Sam Hillborne proud in a genuine cowpoke shirt wearin, leather saddle riding, kind of way. Happy trails !
