I bought mine from ewbateman. Called and spoke with him and got the thickness and backing I wanted.

Bateman has a page on his website showing all of his tabs. I can't post the direct link to it because I don't know if Bateman is a sponsor on here. Just Google "EW Bateman tabs" and you'll get his website. Once on his site, click on "Finger Tabs" and you'll see all of them.

I called Bateman and ordered directly from them.  Fast shipping, I think I had them within a week. They also told me that they keep records so when you reorder, you will get the same exact tab again.

They are great people to deal with and their tabs are excellent.  They are pictured on a page on their web site.  I was able to speak with Mr. Bateman when I ordered mine and he was very helpful.  I plan to order some more soon so I will have spares and will order one of their pocket quivers too.  - John

3 Rivers doesn't advertise any tabs as Bateman's.  I do know the cordovan tab is a Bateman.  If you compare pictures some of them look like they have a horrible sewing job.  I don't think the ugly ones are Bateman tabs.

I'd go to the source:     tabs (http://www.ewbateman.com/FingerTabs.htm)
