Armitas

[Cowboy Crafts Online]

Here are a pair of Armitas that I just finished up. They are step in, with a traditional tie string. The only Hardware on them is the brass ring on the side.

So, is there a difference between Armitas and Chinks?

From what I read the original Armitas had no hardware. They are lighter than chinks or chaps. Armitas means "little armor".

Nice work! I just picked up an Western Horseman yesterday and for the first time saw and heard about Armitas. It's nice to learn something new. I like them. Are they easier or harder to make than chinks? Are there any patterns out there for them? I'd like to make a pair.
