I have a "custom" pair of full chaps from Chuck Pinnell. (correct spelling!)

The reason "custom" is in quotes, is because when I was FINALLY able to go get customs (I had CUSTOM NOTHING as a kid...my mom refused as I never quit growing...and because she hated the horses...) I was very excited. When he went to measure me, he went grabbed a pair that he said someone ordered and then didn't want them and told me to try them on. Cognac colored smooth leather, double calf patches, finished snap bottoms, AND an OSTRICH yoke, belt, and strip down the legs. They fit me LIKE A GLOVE. They did have a name on the back, but I covered it with a brass plate.

He sold them to me for about $125 bucks LESS than if I had ordered them. I also still have the lifetime warranty...zippers are replaced free, and he will take them in for free if they were to stretch. So far so good...they are 5 years old!

That's the story of my "custom" chaps! :)

I'm hoping that I find them on my doorstep today. Of course, I won't be home until after I ride, but that's better than nothing! :)


And yes, they would look loffy against a dark bay and also a red bay (Bully).

Can I tell you - having a horse named Bully and a dog name Billy gets sooo freaking confusing at times. And I didn't name either one of them! :lol:

Here are my half-chaps from Chuck. I have had them a year and love them. I am going to get a second pair at some point.

DUH...."hokiegal" ....uh, where else would you live but Blacksburg...:shoot:

I live (from Chuck's) and hour ON THE OTHER SIDE. In Orange. So too bad...it's not on the way...

Can you do me a favor if you remember, however? Can you get his address so I can send him the chaps and have him fix them? If you grab a business card, that'd be great... :)

They came yesterday and are beautiful. I tried them on. They sure are tight. In a good way though. And they are so soft and smell incredibly good. Too bad that whole "good smell" thing won't last once I ride in them! :lol:

Can't wait to ride in them on Thursday. Although they are so pretty it does seem like a shame. The camera died so the batteries should be charged up now and I can post pictures of them tonight.

Jeez Lion, those sure are beautiful! And what do ya know, they even have my name on the back. I think he sent them to the wrong address. ;)

I have always been a half chap lover but you guys are really making me want beautiful custom full chaps!! Do you ride in jeans or breeches underneath? I just don't think I could go back to riding in jeans....


How much do a pair of custom half chaps run for from those guys? They are both soo far away too. Hrmph. :lonely:
