alb Report post Posted May 29, 2010 A gentleman brought a pair of chaps into the shop with a full length zipper. He has arthritis and needs the zipper to be replaced with something easier for him to manage. Any ideas??? Ann Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luke Hatley Report post Posted May 30, 2010 Another idea. if the legs of the Chaps are large enough take the zippers out and sew the legs up... MAKE STEP IN CHAPS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BondoBobCustomSaddles Report post Posted May 30, 2010 Has anyone used velcro for work chaps? Any other ideas? Ann They make different grades of velcro. The strongest will work nicely, you will have to get it off the internet though, they don't carry it in normal stores like Joann's. Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alb Report post Posted May 30, 2010 I actually do have some heavy duty velcro. He's coming to pick up his saddle tomorrow. I'll talk with him about trying the velcro. Thanks for the idea guys! Ann Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
