Laced Style BatwingsI usually make these chaps in 4 oz oil tan for
pleasure use, and 6 oz oil tan if they are to be
used in heavy brush. The leg is full cut for added
protection and is fastened with 3 snaps on each
leg. The inside of the leg is cut on a curve for
ease of movement. The belt is cut from russet
bridle leather, and can be either plain or carved
as per your preference. The lacing takes the
place of stitching, making these chaps very
authentic and durable.

Hello Bob–just a quick note to thank you for the
timely arrival of my new chaps. They arrived on
the Greyhound, safe and sound, and mighty quick
I would have written sooner, but all my spare time
now is wrapped up in pounding the trail on my horse,
with my new chaps!! Gotta tell you, that I am deeply
happy with your work, and I fully expect them to last
me a lifetime of good riding up in the hills, and keep
me from all manner of harm. Thank you very much
for all your hard work, and the skill and dedication
that you bring to your craft. I am starting a savings
fund for the saddle of my dreams, and I think you
might have a project on your hands by the time
winter rolls around, in time for next spring On your
web site, you call it the “All Around” saddle. My
horse is only 4 years old this month, so he has some
growing to do before the summer is out, and he is
getting all the food and exercise I can give him.
Thanks for a splendid pair of chaps, and I think
you have found a new customer. A friend was by
yesterday, and by Golly, did he fall in love with
your work.

Sincerely Richard.
Rawhide Laced Shotgun
Chaps
I used the finest 5 oz Cream chap leather in the
making of these chaps. The belt and trim is cut
from 2 oz russet bridle leather, and stamped with
a basket weave pattern. A black recessed border
frames the stamping in which the Rawhide lacing
has been inset The legs are fastened with five
brass buckles down the side so you can adjust
the fit to your exact preference. The Rawhide
lacing takes the place of stitching, and is more
durable then regular stitching.

western saddlery, once seen
