Description:
Leather chaps are protective leg coverings made from leather, designed without a seat and worn over trousers. Originating from Mexican horse riders, they shield the legs from environmental hazards like brush, thorns, and weather. Commonly used by cowboys and motorcyclists, chaps come in various styles, such as shotgun (close-fitting) and batwing (flared). They are secured around the waist with a belt and typically extend over the boots.
