Members horseplay Posted October 29, 2013 Members Report Posted October 29, 2013 I am looking for the elastic or fabric material that can be used in making chaps. This piece usually goes down the leg along the zipper line to make the chaps fit nicer. (or can be used to extend chap sizes) The problem is that most all elastic is 2 way stretch in the wrong direction and most 4-way stretch fabric is very thin. There is an old post on here about the subject but no real answer and reviving it hasn't brought any new ideas either. So I'm trying a new post here. Anyone have any info they can share on this?

Members Dwight Posted October 29, 2013 Members Report Posted October 29, 2013 I bought some brown material from JoAnn fabric a couple of years ago to extend a set of shotgun chaps for a young lady. It did not stretch a lot, . . . but there was some give to it. Most of the time, . . . they are pretty helpful around here, . . . might give them a try. I added a 1 1/2 inch strip the full length, . . . and she was pleased as punch. May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher.
