I like the neet calf hair tab.  Personally I remove the spacer and really love them when they are really shot in. Great tabs!

Bateman has several, I like the cordovan one (TCD).

Rick Barbee is the gold standard IMHO, Great guy who stands behind a great tab. Try one, you will not be disappointed.

I have used both the Neet and the Bateman and found both of them to be just fine.

I have a gently used large one of these you can try if you like.  I just cannot seem to get the hang of a tab.

I've been using the Saunders Pak-tab for many years.  You can assemble it to your preference.  They last forever.

I now make my own. I but a piece of leather from Hobby Lobby. I think its about 3 or more inches wide by about a foot long. I normally cut pieces to fit and double over after using rubber cement. Then I clamp overnite using two thin pieces of pine trim and squeeze clamps. I cut themto shape using a single edge razor and a metal straightedge. I then drill two holes and insert leather lacing through the holes and controlled by a toggle used for adjusting the length of a cord such as a cinch on a jacket. Just yesterday I started using the leather single thickness at the figertip are but doubled near the base of the fingers. The doubled area allows the toggle and leather lacing to sit firmly. My groups improves and I can now feel my face better for anchor. I dont find a need for a spacer with this set up.
