I like those. Nice detail on the yoke. Did you roll that on? Did you use a commercially available pattern, and what type of leather for the legs? Looks like W & C chestnut skirting for the yokes. Sorry for the questions, but these are unique and really nicely done. Chaps are not my favorite project. I still tweak my patterns nearly every time I make a pair, and have never been happy with any commercially available patterns I've tried, and have never gotten a pair in that has fit the wearer well enough that I adopt the pattern. Thanks and nice work.

Very nice .... I am in the process of making a set of working chinks.......I am finding the simplest of patterns/templates are more difficult than meets the eye. Nice job on yours!
