finished my first set of chaps yesterday, im decently happy with the turn out being the first pair but still needs a little work.

Thanks guys , couple things I would change for the next pair but it was good fun finally doing a pair , I've been wanting to for a while now

[Sofaspud]

Very nice

[Grey Drakkon]

Beautiful job!

Those look great!  Nice color coordination and the tooling looks excellent.

Those are very cool! I have made a pair of chinks that have almost the same colors as yours and I am finishing a pair of shotgun chaps that have the same yoke style. Did you get your pattern from Tandy Leather? Also, how long did it take you to do the tooling alone? Very nice!

Here is my first pair of chinks.

Thanks , yea I was really happy with how the floral came out. Um I would say few hours on the tooling I'm not as fast as some others, try resending your picture it didn't show up, and yes the original pattern was from Tandy but I modified it kinda combined chap types and made it more of a open leg shotgun style chap

Forgot to ask what kind of leather did you use? Love these

[diibbles134]

I used a 5-6 oz oiled utility side 

[Sofaspud]

Looks really good.

Sorry it didn't show up. I think it was too big the first time. Anyways, I did the same thing. This chink pattern was from Tandy but I modified it so I could cut the fringe on it.

Great looking chaps! Very nice tooling.
