Getting Measured Up for Custom Chaps or Chinks:

 

Put on the type of jeans and boots you will likely where with your chaps this is very important, jeans and shoes can vary widely from brand to brand. Using a cloth ruler, have a friend help take measurements for each of the lines shown in the above picture. If no cloth ruler is available a simple piece of sting can be used to take measurements, simply mark the length on the string and compare it to a yardstick or tape measure. All lengths need to be made accurately to a inch because they will be used to make a pattern for you specific chaps or chinks.

 

1. To measure Line A: The distance around your waist 1 to 1 1/2 inches below      your belt. Not the same as your pants size.

2. To measure Line B: Your outseam, measure from the same position you measured in Line A to the floor, be accurate, otherwise chaps can be too long or too short.

3. To measure Line C: Your inseam, measure from the floor up to where you want your chaps to ride between your legs, measure too short and the back can hang open, measure to long and they could be uncomfortable. Take some time to decide how far up in your business you want your chaps to be.

4. To measure Line D: Once you found that magic spot for Line C, measure around you leg, this should be the biggest part of your leg.

5. To measure Line E: Line E is half way in between Line D and Line F, simply measure around you leg.

6. To measure Line F: Line F is a couple inches above your knee; place it accurately so we can allow ample room for your leg to bend. Simply measure around your leg.

7. To measure Line G and H: These measurement are only needed for chaps with zippered leg closure. For Line G measure around the widest part of your calf, and for Line H measure around your ankle where your chaps will end.
