Default Chaps

Does anyone here wear the distressed brown leather chaps? I thnk they look good or do they just belong on a cowboy riding a horse.

I don't know if it's me, tradition or what but I always think that brown leather looks a little strange when it comes to clothing for a motorcycle. I guess there's nothing wrong with it. I just prefer black.

If they're what you like, more power to you. The dye still bleeds though, just the perspiration will make you look like "Ju gotta staing in jur chorts" The indigo bleed leaves you with a whole lot less 'splainin to do.

they'd look great, 'specially when you're singin' mach, macho man....J/K (sorry couldn't resist)

Never had use for chaps, but I do know a lot of people that do like them, whatever makes ya happy.

Another thing, how come the expression "that chaps my ***" is around, and chaps dont have an ***?? something to ponder I suppose, one of those useless tidbits of information.
