These old chaps have seen a lot of long work days in the saddle.
Vintage chaps make wonderful decor, their worn leather with warm patina and special details, particular to the cowboy whose legs they protected, all make for unique charm.
Historically chaps were introduced by the Spanish Vaqueros as a means of protecting their legs from brush, cactus, thorns, etc. “Chaps” is short for the Spanish chaparejos, meaning leather pants. Our cowboys not only used chaps for protection from sharp foliage, but the further north they were, chaps offered another layer of protection against big winters.
Leather is and was an important material to cowboys
Leather Chaps – Leather wears hard, is like a second skin, and early cowboys soon learned how to work leather to make hardy leather garments to do their jobs better, protect their clothes and make their lives easier.
Chaps were an important innovation, allowing the cowboys to protect their pants and boots when riding through brush, or when a rope slammed against their leg from a misbehaving steer at the other end. Chaps will also keep your legs warm and help keep you dry on foul weather days.
Bat Wing Chaps - Appeared in the early 1900's and gained immediate acceptance because they had snap fasteners that allowed them to go on and come off easily. Because of their design they were easy to decorate and could be made extremely ornately. These pants had wide leather wings which flapped freely instead of being tightly tied down. In the western states cowboys would often unsnap their chaps to allow for ventilation. This chap only buckled to the knee so the wearer could easily bend his legs. This worked well when working on the range especially when squatting down to tie off a cow for branding, as well as working the rodeo arena. The wide wings were perfect for leather tooling, overlay and inlay patterns of dyed leather, sharp-studded designs and conchos. Local saddle shops would offer custom designs with names, initials or anything else that you might want.
