Subject: [RC] custom-sized halter/bridle combo

I am currently riding in a zilco add-on halter bridle combo which I really like. It has always been a little big for my mare and I had to punch extra holes in it; however, I have recently changed bits and had to punch even more holes in it and I have tons of extra material now.
 
I would love to get her custom-sized add-on halter bridle combo. I have tried this in the past with one vendor and despite my sending carefully taken measurements from tack that fit her well, neither the halter nor bridle fit. I had similar problems with the first halter/bridle combo I bought from Sportack years ago, as I sent in custom measurements for a different mare. Please note that I followed the vendor's instructions carefully to take good measurements, so I have no idea what the problem could be (my guess was that in both cases, my tack was not truly custom-made, but the "closest fitting" off the rack model was used. So, as you can expect, I'm hesitant to shell out the money yet again given this past history, as neither of these vendors allowed returns because the work was custom.
 
Have any of you had luck with a vendor of custom made tack?
