yeringtonmike Report post Posted March 13, 2011 How's everyone? If anyone out there could head me in the direction of some patterns for half chaps. I had never even thought of them until today. A customer asked if I could make her some nice leather half chaps. I have an idea, but a pattern would sure help. Thanks, I know with all the knowledge that reins in our leather world, someone will be able to help me. Thanks, Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have mostly english style patterns. The pattern pack I found was for helmets and 1/2 chaps. The pattern ran around $6.00. I called Springfield Leather and told them what I was making - They hooked me up with some nice Black Kampelli leather. It was just the right weight to work with and the lady was very please with how it came out. Hope this helps = Deb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yeringtonmike Report post Posted March 13, 2011 what is the difference between" 1/2 chaps" and chinks? pete Half chaps are mainly English, but there are western style. They are like mountain boots with the bottom missing. They cover the lower leg, like a tall boot. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw that on a website, but someone had put in a negative review, but I will give them a try. I'm sure they will give me a base to work off of. I also have account with Springfeild, so I will give them a call and get hooked up. Thanks again. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
