RE: Chaps
Put them on with your boots, have someone mark them and then cut them.

Here's a link to
FoxCreek Leathers - they have some info that might help.
Be in the seated position before measuring for length so you won't get a measurement that's too short.

Make sure your cutting tool is very sharp

Have them made at a leather store for you, they custom fit them for me. No cutting needed on my part.

A suggestion sit on your bike,the chaps want to be down to the top of your boots.If too high the wind will get under them.

I sat on bike and put feet on forward control pegs. Has wife mark desired length with chalk, then cut to fit.
