Farrier Chaps

[TomE]

Thanks, @jcuk.  From the pictures the temper looks similar to the Beiler's apron split that I purchased.  Softer than the apron I am using for a pattern.  The apron is 6/7 oz (~2.5 mm) and the Beiler's apron split is 7/8 oz (3 mm).  Plenty heavy IMO but it will lay differently when working under the horse.  The client/friend will stop by tomorrow to check out the leather for his apron.  I might order the firm pearl split from Hide House and give him a choice.  He's highly skilled and kind enough to shoe a couple of horses for us (I trim the others) so I want to keep him happy.  I might make mayself an apron with the other split.

No worries, never made any farrier chaps but have repaired and patched a few, some i have done knowing the leather i patched them up with is better than what they were made from.
