Batwing chaps

[Carriesleatherworks]

Hi I'm wanting to make a pair of batwing chaps for myself. Can I make them out of 1 side of leather or will I need 2 sides? Also any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have the same question so I asked a friend that builds a lot of leggin’s and she said that one should be enough but for me because I have a 38” inseam it might be close.  She buys her leather from Panhandle Leather she said to call them they could help with some bigger sides for longer legs.  I have bought some stuff from them before and they are good people to deal with.  I still haven’t got around to building mine yet so I can’t speak from experience but I hope this helps.
