Location: Oklahoma | Well, I don't see anything on Alamo or Bar H Equine and I looked on Oxbow's site as well. They all have stuff very similar, but not identical.
Just wondering if it's worth $100? I certainly looks like it, but I don't want it to be something where crystals start falling off first use or something that's not strong enough to be really used a breast collar. |

| If it's only $100 it's probably a Showman and not good quality at all. The leather is plastic-y and super stiff. |

Location: Oklahoma | Forgot my phone at the house! I'm about to go to lunch and I'll grab it and contact them! Just thought I'd put the widsom of the board to work!
I googled Showman tack sets and found a ton that look like they're built the same, but nothing exactly the same... frustrating! |

It does look VERY similar!
Probably the biggest difference I see is that Teskey's stamps their products in the center of the breast collar... the one I'm looking at has no stamp! UGH! I thought I was so close! |

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | I think Bar H retires their stuff every year. I won a new breast collar made by them last year and it was a leftover from a discontinued line, so not listed on their website. It was filigree leather tooling overlaying hair-on hide. Light weight leather, but supple and nice for the price. |

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | Looks like something that Weaver leather could have made a few years back, and I agree alot of these companys will stop making the same stuff and get new ones made up. I think they will make the same things for a few years then they go on to a new look. |

Bar H was doing Teskey tack, maybe it's an older version of Bar H. I had some Bar H stuff a few years ago that was pretty close to that. |

Location: Oklahoma | Well I texted the seller and asked if they still had it and if so, what brand was it?
I got a text back saying "yes, I still have it a minute later."
I responded back "Do you know what brand it is?"
It's been over an hour and still no response! Hopefully they are just waiting until they are around the set to check.... but I'm thinking at this point it was too good to be true! |
