Ok, so Alfie is growing out of his nylon harness and it is also matting his hair, as some of you know he has had baldness episodes and allergies so I need to get the right harness for him.
I think I have settled on a Buddy Belt and just have a few questions I need your help with before ordering.

1. He has allergies and very sensitive skin, when he manages to scratch he can break the skin really quickly in his armpits. Would the BB rub or aggravate that area?
2. Still with the skin! I like the classic red, is this a nice soft range or are other BB ranges softer leather? If so which ones?
3. Size, he is a little betweeny size, he is slim built, 9 months old and seems to have pretty much settled growth wise details are below, do you think size 3 is best fit?
Neck 20cm/8"
Chest 29cm/11.5"
Weight 2.86kg/6.5LB
4. If they don't already have one I always add a buttonhole for the D ring on his jackets can you always move the BB D ring to the centre of the harness in any buckle setting?

There is only one UK retailer here in UK for BB so I may need to order from US, this is an expensive purchase for me and i dont have the opportunity of actually seeing and trying the BB, so want to make sure I get it right.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
