Chaps not only provide protection from the weather and brush, they give the rider a superior grip on the saddle. Shotgun, 5-snap, and zippered chaps provide the most coverage and warmth. The 5-snap chaps and Colorado Work chaps are sufficiently ventilated to be comfortable in summer, too. Cool in the summer, and easiest to walk in, our Chinks are made Northwest Style, providing full coverage to the inside of the knee and are long enough to kneel on. This type of chink uses almost the same amount of leather as full length chaps. Chinks with less coverage are available upon request.
All my chaps are made of oil-tanned, work weight leather unless requested otherwise. Zippered chaps are made slightly lighter in weight to facilitate a good bend in the knee area. American Bison, Water Buffalo, and Horsehide are also available.
More colors of leather are available besides what are pictured on these pages.To see more colors, go the leather colors page.
Measure your inseam fully and leg measurements snugly when using the chap chart at the Order page.
Exotic hair-on chap materials include Angora (white, black, and some bright colors sometimes available), Tibetan Lamb (finer and longer than Angora, black or white), Bear, Buffalo, and brindle, spotted or black Cowhide.
