Styles include braided, western, distressed and buckled designs. Pick a standard size or a custom size cut to your waist and inseam. Use the filters above to narrow by size or color.
These leather chaps for men are cut from cowhide and hand-stitched with reinforced knees for long road rides. They go on over your jeans and close with a full-length side zip. An adjustable waist helps them sit right over your riding gear. Every pair is made to order.
Cowhide resists scuffs and wind on the highway. Double-stitched seams and reinforced knee panels hold up to bending and wear. Each pair is cut from 1.1-1.3 mm cowhide, in black, brown or tan.
Custom Size Chaps - the waist and length are cut to your own numbers, so the leather does not bunch at the boot. Every design can be made this way. See Made to Measure for how it works.

Chaps cover the front and sides of your legs over your jeans. The cowhide blocks wind and cold on long rides. It also guards against scuffs from road grit and the heat of the bike. The back of the leg stays open, so chaps stay cooler than full pants. For a plain black pair, see the black motorbike chaps

Each pair is cut from cowhide after you place your order. The seams are stitched by hand, and the knee panels get a second row of stitches. Hand stitching lets the maker follow the curve of the leg on each panel. Every pair is made to order, so nothing waits in a warehouse. The braided leather chaps
show how braided trim is stitched along the leg.

Yes. Chaps are made to go on over your jeans. The full-length side zip lets you put them on and take them off without removing your boots. The adjustable waist sits over a belt or a jacket hem. Measure your waist over the clothes you plan to wear under the chaps. The how to measure guide shows where to place the tape.
Pick a standard size if your waist and leg length match the size chart. Pick a custom size if you are tall, short or between sizes. Custom chaps are cut to your own waist and inseam, so the leather sits right at the boot. Every design offers both choices. Care for the leather often with a cream, as the leather care instructions explain.
