Lightweight shotgun Leather Chaps

Lightweight shotgun Leather Chaps – – With zipper closure –

We use premium quality leather to make these fine looking fringed shotgun chaps, that are perfect for summer wear. Nickle conchos run the leg of the chaps, and 6 Lone star conchos on the belt add a little sizzle to the design.

Shown in a women’s model but our Lightweight shotgun Chaps can just as easily be made for a man. Available in Black or Brown.

Custom Chap Measurements
The fit of your Lightweight shotgun Leather Chaps will only be as good as the measurements you supply us with. So please take due care. For accurate measurements you must have someone else measure you: As you stand still and look straight ahead.

Very important that you have on a pair of britches and boots that you plan to wear under your chaps. Always a good idea to measure twice to confirm each measurement.

All details of your custom leather order are confirmed within 1 business day of your order being received.

Chaps that use buckles and straps will have some forgiveness; but step in chaps like our Open Range Style are designed to be form fitting – so for best results be thorough with your measurements.

See our chap measurement chart for the measurements required. Click on chart to get a larger graphic.

Your chap measurements will be confirmed via e-mail, after your order is placed, and when we send you your order confirmation.

A History of Chaps

Early cowboys worked on ranches and spent their days riding in wild terrain, with cattle, in all weather conditions. Cowboys spent most of their working time on horseback, so protective clothing became essential.

Chaps protect the cowboy from the rope burns that could occur from catching, holding down, and working with cattle, horses, or other livestock. Chaps also form a protective shield over the legs to help prevent cuts and grazes when riding through vegetation such as low scrub, bushes, thickets, or cacti, which often have vicious thorns.
