Hang down and fringe. Chaps are chaps. The women I have been around shop for chaps by fit and usually have to get the legs trimmed to fit.

ok i guess im good then. I bought a pair of cheap chaps and kinda started wondering after the fact. i never had them before and rarely see them being worn unless by people traveling through......or the types that rider/passenger has new matching everything. I might be doing some up north riding and thought i better get some and didnt have a lot of time. I think i might get some really good ones made at a leather shop someday.Keep them for the rest of my life.-----ok cool, as long as i dont look like a transvestite im good.
