Cowboy Crafts Online Report post Posted June 6, 2007 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. Ashley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go2Tex Report post Posted June 15, 2007 So, is there a difference between Armitas and Chinks? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArtS Report post Posted August 12, 2007 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". 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.Ashley 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.

Cowboy Crafts Online Report post Posted August 13, 2007 Art, I think they are about the same work as making a pair of chinks. I dont know of any patterns I just looked at different pictures and going from that an my knowledge of making chaps and chinks I just set out and made a pair. I am not sure if they are right or not. However I am satisfied with how they turned out. Ashley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
