Small Shifter Knob?

Small Shifter Knob?
Looking to replace my shifter knob for a bit of extra bling. Lots of beautiful wood shifter knobs online.
My problem with them is that they are too big. The Jag is my first automatic in over 20 years and I have
always replaced the stock shifter knobs with something smaller. I really like the wood-with-insert ones out there
but does anyone know of a company that makes say a 2/3rds sized one for our cars? I could just buy a small aftermarket
one that fits but I want one that is Jaguar themed with the growler or something Jag related on it. If its out there
I haven’t seen it.
Thanks

All of you that mentioned Saul were on it. He is the man for sure. Got exactly what I wanted on the first try.
Original. Love the blue but a blue shifter knob was too much
Had this 8 ball from a Miata. Size and color perfect but the “8” had to go.
Saw British Autowood selling the wood knob with blue growler on ebay. Decided to see if Saul could combine the two.
Installed. My hand is blocking glare from the chrome shifter surround.
Comparison. The black ball is about 3/4 the size of the original. It looks bigger here because its a bit closer.
Much subtler than the original and matches my blue/black interior perfectly.
Another thought is that the original Portfolio blue shifter would be tough to replace if it got damaged or worn.
Now its in storage to maintain originality for the next owner.
Thanks Saul!!

Saul's shifter knobs are so much more appealing than any of the factory leather knobs. I ordered one to match the custom elm wood in my wife's 2006 XK8 Victory Edition in October 2012 and it still looks fantastic today. It remains the only purely cosmetic change I have done to her car. I kept the factory leather knob for the next owner but cannot imagine why anyone would want to reinstall it compared to Saul's custom knob....
