Members bland Posted January 17, 2022 Members Report Posted January 17, 2022 Not sure this is what you were referring to but here is one method of attaching the back belt. Quote
Members Dwight Posted January 17, 2022 Members Report Posted January 17, 2022 Thanks, Bland . . . I've never used that myself for anything . . . but that is really a neat "connection" there. For the chaps I've made (just a few) I got the old sewing machine out and just sewed em on. But I really do like that. May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God.

I've never seen or heard of such. Either straps with clips, or zippers. Quote Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?

You can also add Conchos there. Tandy has a pattern pack for chaps that might show you how.
