What Size Chaps Will Fit Me?

I have two sets of chaps that fit me well. I had to buy a second pair when my small kid started wearing my original pair.
One pair is a size small, the other is size large (they are from different manufacturers) and both fit.

There is no standard sizing for chaps. It also doesn't matter about male or female. Because chaps are essentially leggings
attached to a belt by a strap, women may wear mens chaps and look great in them. There are special womens chaps but they
aren't really any different in fit from mens chaps. They just cost extra. Save your money, just buy mens chaps and follow these
tips to get them to fit properly.

Believe it or not, the most important measurement is your thigh. Chaps should fit snug but not tight over your jeans.
You should be able to stick two fingers down the top of the leg with no problem.

The waist and length are adjustable.



Notice in the picture that the middle of the back of the belt is where leather laces tie the chaps together.

You can tie them so the two halves overlap or spread apart to get about 6 inches of adjustment.
Also, the top is a belt so you can pull it tighter or leave it looser just like any other belt.

The length is set by cutting off the excess while you are wearing the chaps with the boots you will wear riding
and while sitting down. They should rest on the top of your boots just behind your toes while sitting. This will
give good protection while you are riding. When you stand up they should be longer than normal pants and
probably touch the floor.

Don't try to hem the chaps like you would a pair of pants that you've had tailored. Chaps are meant to just be
cut off at the ankle to whatever length fits you best. Just try to cut them as evenly as possible so they look good.
