What is the story with a lot of chaps/leather goods being made in Pakistan? I dont think I can support those terrorists by buying something from over there.

Get correct measurement at the thigh. Sounds like your really excited about riding. Just be careful when you get the chance. I want to thank you for serving YOUR country. Some people from the Far North should mind their own business and NOT be so quick to judge... Hey...

I went on a ride over the weekend with a few friends. A couple of them said they were leaving their chaps home next time because it felt like the chap were holding the cold in rather than keeping it out.

There are leather shops on the web that advertise "Made in USA" products. Not sure if they are genuine and honest but I have seen them while doing such searches.
