Vespucci Bridles- good or bad? Any good bridle brands?

I am looking for a figure eight bridle for my horse and want to get a good quality one so I don't have to rebuy it because it breaks or anything like that. I have heard Vespucci is good quality but they are a little expensive, which I know usually comes with brand names and quality. Are there any other good bridle brands out there that you have used and really liked? My hunter bridle is a Crosby and it has lasted forever, the one I have now was given to me and the straps won't go in the keepers, hence why I need a new one. Thanks!

I have a Vespucci bridle and I absolutelt love it! The leather is soft, supple and durable. My bridle is padded....but aren't all Vespucci bridles padded? I don't know...Anyways, I vote yes for Vespucci

I think I

I think Vespucci is what I'm going to go with, I've heard good things about them and I like the guards on th metal pieces for the nose band

I have a Vespucci figure-8 and flash bridle - LOVE them! Well worth the money, especially when taken care of properly. I got mine new for a song off of ebay - just keep your eyes peeled :)

Currently I'm searching for a double-raised dressage bridle of theirs...
