Chaps
|
Our Custom Chaps or Leggins are hand made, one pair at a time. We offer three styles, Shotgun, Chink or Batwing. We choose our chap leather based on quality and weight, therefore we are not able to offer a wide selection of colors. We stock earth-tone colors in Cream, Light Brown and Medium Brown. The weight of the leather ranges from light (4 oz.) to heavy (6 oz.). Our online order form is on the bottom of this page. If you should need any additional information, please call our toll free order line. 1 800 634-4502

These leggins are roughout Shotgun style with zippers to close the legs. They have an inside pocket on the left side. The waist has a leather string in the front and a belt in the back. The yokes (the part on the waist) are made from the same chap leather as the legs, except slick side out. The options shown on the other chaps are also available on these. As with most Shotguns these have fringe on the outside of each leg. These leggins are priced as follows:

Chinks are made shorter than the other styles. They are cooler and not as binding on the knees which makes for easier mounting. These are roughout with snaps (small clips) to fasten the legs. The yokes (waist part) are basket stamped. We can incorporate brands or initials into the basket stamping. The waist has a leather string in front and a belt in back. The Stainless steel conchos shown are $2 each. Many of the options shown on the other styles can be added to these. As with all of our chinks, these are fringed. Prices and options are listed below: |

The Batwing Style has been worn for over 100 years. The legs do not fit as tight as a Shotgun style, and usually heavier leather can be used. This pair is roughout with an outside pocket. The legs attach with snaps (small clips) and rings. They have a basket stamped yoke (waist part). We can incorporate brands or initials into the basket stamping. The waist has a leather string in front and a belt in back. The leather conchos down the legs are included in the base price. Many of the options found on the other chaps can also be added to these. See prices below: |

These chaps are made from roughout oil-tan leahter. They have plain skirting yokes and outside pockets without flaps. They have five nickel conchos on each leg. Although this style is normally made as a step-in, they can be built with zippers or snaps and rings. |

Shown are our Arizona step-in style leggins. These are shown with outside pockets, but inside pockets are available. As with most of our leggins, these are made roughout, but slickout chaps can also be made. Conchos can be added from our concho page. |

These are our Bell Bottom style leggins. These have plain yokes and outside pockets. These leggins have three brass conchos on each leg and feature a large wing overlay on the bottoms. They are traditionally made as step-ins, which means that the legs are laced together solid. They can, however, be made with shaps and rings or zippers. |

These are the different types of pockets that we put on leggins. They can be added to one side or to both. The standard outside pocket with a flap has a snap closure, but it can also be made with a leather button. Each of the options are listed on the order form along with their price. |

Our zippers are laced on and solid at the top. This helps the zippers last longer. This is the typical leg attachment for Shotgun style chaps. Snaps and rings are typically used on Batwing and Chink style chaps. They have a quite a bit of adjustment room. Our Step-in style chaps are laced up solid. This option is not as adjustable, but it is long lasting. Buckles and snaps are used mostly on Batwing and Chink style chaps and those that attach only above the knee. It is very adjustable and easy to use. |

Shown is the wing overlay option that we add to our Batwing style chaps. This can be done with the same color leather as shown, or with contrasting leather. |
