Abstract
This relates to an adjustable stirrup leather which has a buckle construction of a nature wherein the billet end of the leather may be selectively placed in front of the buckle or rearwardly of the buckle depending upon the adjusted length of the stirrup leather so as always to be in an out-of-the-way position. This is accomplished by means of a buckle which may be selectively set to receive the billet leather on either side or face thereof, and there is associated with the billet leather and buckle a reversible slide for retaining the buckle interlocked with the billet leather.
