Western chaps come in two distinct styles: Shotgun Chaps and Chinks. Each style of chaps has characteristics that may make one style better suited to your needs.
Shotgun Western Chaps
Shotgun western chaps are full length, covering your leg from thigh to heel. They have a reinforced upper leg and are secured down each side with a full length brass zipper. This style of western chaps provides you with full protection from weather and brush. They are typically preferred by cowboys and trail riders in colder climates, in areas where brush is dense and potentially damaging or in areas highly populated with rattlesnakes.
Chinks Style Western Chaps
 Chinks are a style of chaps generally preferred by people in hotter climates or by those needing to perform tasks requiring greater freedom of movement, such a fence repair, shoeing or branding. Chinks are knee length western chaps and typically fringed. They are secured behind your upper thigh by buckling straps. Chinks leave your lower leg free, allowing you to easily bend and kneel.
Basic Western Chaps
We offer both types of western chaps in basic, custom basic and deluxe styles. Basic western chaps are made from 5-6 ounce soft yet durable premium top grain chap leather. They come standard in rust with a chocolate chap leather top shield. The back belt on our Basic chaps is made from doubled and stitched chap leather laced on in V-braid fashion. The Basic Chinks chaps have 6” fringe and two buckling straps secured by ties through slotted conchos are also available in rust with a chocolate belt.
Custom Basic Western Chaps
Custom basic shotgun chaps and chinks are made from the same 5-6 ounce premium top grain chap leather in your choice of colors: chocolate, rust, black, white or buckskin. You may choose your top yoke from these same colors.
Deluxe Western Chaps
Deluxe chaps are made from 5-6 ounce premium top grain chap leather. The back belt on our Deluxe western chaps is made from rolled and stitched chap leather which is laced on in V-braid fashion. Deluxe Chinks western chaps have 6” fringe and three buckling straps secured by the three conchos on the side shield. Deluxe chaps are completely customizable, so you can make them uniquely your own. You have your choice of color: chocolate, rust, black, white or buckskin. You have your choice of a plain top yoke and side yoke in the colors listed above or three tooled styles of each yoke. And lastly, you may choose from 10 styles of concho for the side shield.
Regardless which style of western chaps you choose, you will receive comfortable, durable and stylish protection. You will wonder how you ever got along without a pair of chaps.
