Cowboy Chap Facts

Cowboy clothing in the Old West worked almost as hard as the Cowboy. As cowboys rode horses through rough terrain and cold climates, leather britches were created to keep the cowboy warm, from getting hurt, and keep clothes cleaner.

These britches are known by Batwings, Chaps, Chinks, and Woolies. Each of these have their own unique style, just like the Cowboys who wore them - then and now.
