Leather Chaps

From The Last Best West

Chaps were an important innovation, allowing the cowboys to protect their pants and boots when riding through brush, or when a rope slammed against their leg from a misbehaving steer at the other end. Chaps will also keep your legs warm and help keep you dry on foul weather days.

Our quality hand made hats and leather are made to last and our chaps are no exception. Researched and designed by The Last Best West from archival photo’s these chaps will give you the wear, look, and protection you need. And will look smart doing it. Order your pair today.

Made to order. Made to last. Made in America by the Cowboys at The Last Best West.

  • We started with the style of chaps worn by Clarke Gable in The Tall Men (1955) and worked our magic on them. Our Custom Handmade Leather Chaps have a zipper closure and are a shotgun, or stove pipe, design with fringe. The heavy leather belt in a deep rich brown, beautifully compliments the top quality pale sand color of the rough out leather that the chaps are made from. Made by Cowboys for Cowboys.
