Beaverslayer Report post Posted June 1, 2007 Again, a beautiful job. You will have to change your Leatherwork Specialty from "learning" to "top quality" chaps & leather carving. Great work. Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cowboy Crafts Online Report post Posted June 5, 2007 Flea, Looks like your getting the hang of the chap making. If I could offer one thing, it looks like your collars 'thats what I call them' the tooled top peices are a little too deep. It is ok when someone is standing but when they set in a saddle they are going to bulge right in that front area. On the chaps I make I make my collars no more than 3". I think your doing a great job so dont take this the wrong why, just something I learned from making lots of chaps. I hope now that I got moved back in after the floods here in MO that I can get somethings done and posted. I have a few pair of chaps to make up.

I hadn't thought about the length there. I will ask how they fit when in the saddle and now try a shorter yoke. I appreciate all the helpful tips I can get.
