Leatherimages Report post Posted August 19, 2010 I've had a customer ask about a pair of step in chaps with a lace up front.. I don't quiet see how practical that would be. It would be "bulgy" when seated. Does anyone have any input? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone have any input? I made my first pair of shotguns like this and had no trouble with them.Many old chaps where made like this as well mostly shot guns,Bat wings, and woolly's. Armaits also have a closed front as well. I think the thing is to make sure your belt is not really wide in the front where you lace it together. Hope this helps.

Leatherimages Report post Posted August 22, 2010 Mark, Thank you for the reply. I don't know that I've ever seen them done with a lace up the front. I'm not a rider, horse or motorcycle (any longer) but I've seen more than a few pair of chaps and made many different styles also. But none that lace up the front. Do you maybe have a picture, or sketch, so I can see how the crotch begins the close.? Thanks again, Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
