How to Measure for Chaps and Chinks

You are here: Home « General Information

Take your measurements wearing your actual show pants, belts and boots. These should be the same clothes you normally wear when you show or ride.
Do not try to measure yourself; have someone measure you. Follow directions exactly.
Use a soft measuring tape. These are available at most fabric stores.
Pull the tape so that it rests comfortably on your leg. Not too tight or too loose.
Do not add or subtract from your measurements as exact measurements are necessary for construction
