RE: bought new chaps
I got my chaps at leather.com. They were $119.00 but on sale for $109.00. They are the best they had and have a removeable lining. They were sized 36-40. They are the premium naked leather unisex chaps #7599 made by Xelement. Just had a ride this weekend in about 45 degree weather with a good wind and kept the legs nice and warm.

RE: bought new chaps
HDWG, I bought some there a few weeks ago, and I agree completely.
BTW, we're almost neighbors, I'm on the NE side of Indy; probably see ya on the road (if this stinkin' weather gets better before winter truly sets in!)

Just have the bottom of the legs cut right, take it to a leather shop or something, and have a couple of rivits put into the leg bottoms, corners then they will not frey. I have seen some pretty hacked up leg bottom cuts and it just looks funny.
We have a local flea market with a great leather shop in it, guy has been there for like 30 years, he sizes you up perfect, cuts them great and add those rivits, I have had mine 4 years now.

Well...so much for my dinner.
Let us know how they are. I'm thinkin about getting a pair, and 50 bucks would be a great buy. How do you know what size to get based on a waist size though. I see X-large...and XXX-large. What size works for about a 38 inch waist?

The biggest test is how comfy they are when you do this

RE: bought new chaps
I was on the fence regarding chaps. Couldn't see myself in em........then I saw that pic of Sean, and just knew I could NEVER look that bad !!!
So I bought a pair. (No, that pic didn't really affect my decision). After talkin to a couple of guys that tried the full leather overpants, I simply decided to go with chaps. Besides, I have heard they enhance the appearance of your package!!
