Good wade saddle brands (Brazos, Srs, others)

Hello, I am looking for a good real wade Saddle, and i stumbled across a “Brazos” one. While looking for infos related to this (new to me) brand, i found a website called Paul Taylor, so I was wondering:

  • do you know Brazos brand? Is it any good?
  • are Brazos, Paul Taylor and Srs the same? Or there is some sort of quality hierarchy between them?
  • any other good brands suggestion would be much appreciated!

For a real wade, no.
What’s your budget?

I’d say around 3-4k € , unfortunately not enough for an artisanal one, therefore I’m looking for good “commercial” brands.

I have a friend that buys and sells saddles. He has a few hand made wades in your price range if you’re not opposed to used?

I test rode an Allegany and was really pleased. Once I’m able, I will get a fully custom one built for my mare.

An used one would be perfect, but I am located in northern Italy!

I’m going to private message you so you can get in touch with him. I’m not sure what shipping from the states to Italy would be but if he has, or can find you, a handmade saddle plus the shipping within your budget it’ll be better than a mediocre factory saddle for that same price.
He’s cowboyed all his life and knowledgeable. PM coming your way.
