Choosing the Right Pair of Chinks

Finding the right fit for your chinks chaps is essential for both comfort and performance. Unlike full-length chaps, chinks offer a more relaxed fit and three-quarter leg coverage, so it’s important to choose a pair that sits comfortably while riding or working on the ranch.

Here’s what to consider when selecting the perfect pair of western Leather chink chaps:

• Waist Measurement: Use a measuring tape around your natural waistline (not your jeans size). Chinks are usually fastened with adjustable buckles or ties, but getting close to your actual waist size ensures better stability while riding.

• Thigh Measurement: Measure around the fullest part of your upper thigh. A proper fit should be snug enough to stay in place, but not too tight to restrict movement.

• Outseam Length (Waist to Just Below Knee): Chinks typically extend a few inches below the knee. Measure from your waist down to the point on your leg where you want the chaps to end. This helps avoid excess material or awkward fit while riding.

• Style Preferences: Decide whether you want fringe chinks, tooled leather designs, conchos, or smooth suede based on your riding needs or aesthetic preference.

• Material Type: Full-grain leather offers rugged durability for working cowboys, while suede leather provides a softer feel and unique texture for comfort and style.

If you’re between sizes, it’s usually best to size up slightly for flexibility — especially if you plan to wear them over thicker pants or jeans. Our chinks chaps are made with adjustable straps for a customizable fit, making it easy to fine-tune comfort once worn.
