Product Description
by S. Denise Hoyle (Author)
Leather chaps normally come in standard "small", "medium", "large" or "extra large" sizes and are considered to be adjustable for all sizes because they have either elastic or ties at the center back and a belt type closing in the front. Unfortunately, this will generally leave the chaps wearer uncomfortable in one area or another because chaps need to be sized by the wearer's thigh measurement. So, if you're lucky enough to get a pair that fits in the thigh area, odds are good that they won't fit properly in the waist and they'll be either too long or too short. The solution to this size dilemma is to make your own custom fitted biker or cowboy chaps according to your own personal measurements rather than a set of "standard" measurements. This illustrated book will teach you, step-by-step, how to make leather chaps and half chaps according to your own personal measurements, and will also show you how to use a standard commercial jeans pattern to create a custom chaps pattern by altering it using your measurements.
