After a long layoff, I was asked to make a pair of chaps for a friend.  It was my first attempt at chaps and the friend (who wears them every day) is very happy with them.

Brilliant work!!!   I am looking at making a set of same style shotgun chaps and I do want to ask for my own knowledge a question on the fit.  They look well fit in the photo but I can't tell for sure-what is the feedback on the leg length while saddled?  The right leg inseam looks like it may just come a little short while standing-normally they touch the ground plus a little when standing.  I have noticed as with a pair of jeans, having an extra length of 1-3 inches is important when seated on the saddle otherwise they track up.  Any feedback is appreciated!
