Chaps
Posted by admin
Chaps are sturdy coverings for the legs consisting of leggings and a belt. They are buckled on over trousers with the chaps’ integrated belt, but unlike trousers they have no seat and are not joined at the crotch. They are designed to provide protection for the legs and are usually made of leather or a leather-like material. They are most commonly associated with cowboy culture of the American west, as a protective garment to be used when riding a horse through brushy terrain. In the modern world, they are worn for both practical work purposes and for exhibition or show use. salwar kamizThe earliest form of protective leather garment used by mounted riders who herded cattle in Spain and Mexico were called armas, which meant “shield.” They were essentially two large pieces of cowhide that were used as a protective apron of sorts. They attached to the horn of the rider’s stock saddle, and were spread across both the horse’s chest and the rider’s legs. From this early and rather cumbersome design came modifications that placed the garment entirely on the rider, and then style variations adapted as vaqueros and later, cowboys moved up from Mexico into the pacific coast and northern Rockies of what today is the United States and Canada. There is also evidence that certain design features may also descend from the Mountain men, who copied them from the leggings worn by Native Americans.[1] Different styles developed to fit the local climate, terrain and hazards.[2] Designs were also modified for purely stylistic and decorative purposes. The time of actual appearance of the garment on American cowboys is uncertain. By the late 1870’s, however, most Texas cowboys wore them as the cattle industry moved north.[3] By 1884, the Dictionary of American Regional English notes use of the word in Wyoming, spelled “schaps.” The word chaps is a clip of chaparejos or chaparreras,[5] which are Mexican Spanish words for this garment, ultimately derived from Spanish chaparro,[6] one sense of which is a low growing thicket–difficult to ride through without damage to clothing. Since at least the end of the 19th century, in the western United States and Canada, English-speaking riders have tended to pronounce the word This pronunciation is also used among rodeo riders in New Zealand.English-speaking riders in the eastern United States and Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom have tended to pronounce the word. Shotgun chaps, sometmes called “Stovepipes,” were so named because the legs are straight and narrow. They were the earliest design used by Texas cowboys, in wide use by the late 1870’s.[3] Each leg is cut from a single piece of leather. Their fit is snug, wrapping completely around the leg. They have full-length zippers running along the outside of the leg from the thigh to just above the ankle.[10]The edge of each legging is usually fringed and the bottom is sometimes cut with an arch or flare that allows a smooth fit over the arch of a boot. Shotguns do not flap around they way the batwing design can, and they are also better at trapping body heat, an advantage in windy, snowy or cold conditions, though unpleasant in very hot or humid weather. Shotgun chaps are more common on ranches in the northwest, Rocky Mountains and northern plains states, as well as Canada, and are the design most commonly seen in horse show competition for western riders, especially western equitation. English riders who wear full-length chaps also usually wear a shotgun style, sometimes without fringe. Batwing chaps are cut wide with a flare at the bottom. Generally made of smooth leather, they have only two or three fasteners around the thigh, thus allowing great freedom of movement for the lower leg. This is helpful when riding very actively, and makes it easier to mount the horse. This design also provides more air circulation and is thus somewhat cooler for hot weather wear. Batwing chaps are often seen on rodeo riders, particularly those who ride bucking stock. They are also seen on working ranches, particularly in Texas.They were a later design, developed after the end of the open range. Chinks are half-length chaps that stop two to four inches (5 to 10 cm) below the knee, with very long fringe at the bottom and along the sides. They are usually fringed along the outside edge and bottom, making their apparent length appear about 4 inches (10 cm) longer. The leg shape is cut somewhere between batwings and shotguns, and each leg usually has only two fasteners, high on the thigh. They are cooler to wear and hence a design that is suitable for very warm climates. They are occasionally called “half-chaps” (not to be confused with gaiters-style half chaps described below). The word is derived from chinkaderos.Chinks are most often seen on cowboys in the Southwestern and Pacific states, most notably on those who follow the California vaquero or “buckaroo” tradition. Armitas are an early style of chaps, developed by the Spanish in colonial Mexico and became associated with the “Buckaroos” or vaqueros of the Great Basin area of what is now the United States. They are a short legging with completely closed legs that have to be put on in a manner similar to pants. They are sometimes a bit longer than chinks, but still stopping above the top of the boot, fringed on the sides and on the bottom to reach the boot tops, attached by a fringed belt. A Farrier’s Apron is a specialized style of chinks without fringe, also known as horseshoeing chaps. They protect the upper legs of farriers from getting scratched or cut up in the process of shoeing or otherwise treating the hooves of horses. Some designs have a breakaway front for safety while working.[14] Farrier’s aprons are also sometimes used by ranch hands when stacking hay to reduce wear on clothing. Woolies are a variation on shotgun chaps, made with a fleece or hair-on hide, often angora wool, lined with canvas on the inside. They are the warmest chaps, associated with the northern plains and Rocky Mountains.They appeared on the Great Plains somewhere around 1887. Zamorros somewhat resemble batwing chaps, in that the leggings are closely fitted at the thigh and flare out below the knee, but unlike batwings, the leggings extend far below the boot with a distinctive triangular flare. Zamorros are commonly are made of cowhide, either plain tanned leather or hides with the hair on. They are popular with Paso Fino aficionados, and are derived from styles seen in Colombia. Historically, the word zamorros simply referred to a basic shotgun-like style of either smooth or hair-on chaps worn by Colombian riders. Chaps worn by campinos in Portugal during the 1950s were sheepskin or goatskin with the wool or hair on and of a “drainpipe” style, while in Spain, chaps were without hair and feature intricately worked designs called “poker-work.”[19] In Spain today rejoneadores wear smooth chaps attached with a single strap behind the knee. Chaps are intended to protect the legs of cowboys from contact with daily environmental hazards seen in working with cattle, horses and other livestock. They help to protect riders’ legs from scraping on brush, injury from thorns of cacti, sagebrush, mesquite and other thorny vegetation. Chaps are also useful for other types of riding. Leather chaps stick to a leather saddle or a bareback horse better than do fabric trousers and thus help the rider stay on. They are worn by rodeo competitors in “rough stock” events, including bull riding, Saddle bronc and bareback riding. Riders in other disciplines, including various styles of English riding, sometimes wear chaps while schooling horses. Chaps are commonly worn by western riders at horse shows, where contestants are required to adhere to traditional forms of clothing, albeit with more decorative touches than seen in working designs. Chaps are often required by show rules,[21] and even when optional under the rules are often worn to give a “finished” look to an outfit. Fashions change periodically and styles vary between the assorted sub-disciplines within western-style riding. An item of chainsaw safety clothing are chainsaw chaps, which are made of strong materials like kevlar and protect the legs from injury. A similar style, though of different materials, is sold to hunters and other outdoor sportsmen for protection from rattlesnake bites. Outside of snake country, bird hunters often wear “upland chaps” made of waxed cotton or nylon to protect their legs from briars and thorns. Use of upland chaps allow any type of pants to be worn in the field and they are also used to protect rain suits.[23] Motorcycle chaps are an example of the shotgun style. They are usually made of leather with the smooth side out, and generally provide all-around protection for the leg and have side zippers to allow them to be put on easily. They are popular in the biker subculture, providing protection from the wind and cold as well as partial protection from cuts and scrapes in the event of a fall to the roadway. Motorcycle chaps are also popular in the leather subculture, where they often are tightly fitted and worn without jeans or other garments layered beneath them other than a codpiece. Worn in this manner, they are colloquially referred to as “assless” chaps. These chaps are sometimes styled with the zipper on the inside of the leg and colored leather striping down the outside. Equestrian chaps, with the exception of woolies, are traditionally made of cowhide. Woolies, some Zamorros, and a few other historic or ethnic styles may be made with the hair or wool still on the hide, usually cowhide, sheepskin, or Angora goat skin. Historically, they also included seal, bear, and buffalo. Leather for chaps is tanned and dyed, and the hide is usually “split” so that the leather is supple and can be made into a garment that allows easy movement. There is a rough side, what is today called suede or “roughout,” and a smooth side. Chaps are made in both “roughout” and “smooth out” (smooth side out) designs. Most batwings and chinks are made smooth side out, most shotguns are suede, or roughout. For horse shows, where fashions may change from year to year and durability is not as great a concern, lighter, synthetic materials such as ultrasuede and vinyl may be used, though leather suede or a smooth split predominates due to durability and proper fit. In Australia, chaps may be made of oilskin rather than leather. Most chaps, with the exception of Armitas (which have no metal parts), usually have a small metal buckle in front to attach around the waist, and have lacing on the back of the belt area to allow adjustment in size. A few designs lace in the front and buckle in the back, but they are not often seen. The sides of some designs, particularly the batwing style, either have straps and relatively small metal buckles or snaps to attach the legging around the rider’s leg. Other styles, particularly shotguns, usually use full-length heavy-duty metal zippers. Some historic styles of riding chaps used a single break-away leather string or lace instead of a front buckle.[27] The original purpose was to break away if a rider’s chaps’ belt somehow became hooked over the saddle horn.[28] Except for the batwing design, most chaps are fringed along the edge of the leg, usually a fringe of the same leather as the legging, though occasionally a contrasting color of leather may be added. Chinks and Armitas have fringe on the bottom of the leg as well. The belt that holds on a pair of the chaps may be the same color of leather or of a contrasting color, sometimes is fringed in the back for show, but usually not on a working outfit. Decorative leather designs or fancy stitching may be added along the edge of bottom of the leg or to the belt, and even sterling silver pieces may be used for buckles, and on round decorative metal conchos placed to cover the lacing on the back of the belt, or occasionally even at the bottom of the legging, by the heel. Half chaps, also known as chapettes, are a popular style of equestrian gaiters that extend from the ankle to just below the knee. When worn over a short boot they give the protection and some of the appearance of a tall riding boot, but at lower cost. They are widely worn by children in horse shows and by trail riders. Half chaps usually are made of leather, and have a zipper or hook and loop closure on the outside. They provide grip for the rider, and protection from sweat and the stirrup leather. They are commonly used over the paddock boots of English-style riders in place of tall boots. While not true chaps, some Western-style riders use half chaps, particularly in hot weather, but gaiter-style half chaps are not traditional cowboy gear. Chaps are usually worn over denim jeans or other trousers of heavy material. They have their own belt, and usually are fitted around the hips, resting below the belt loops of the trousers. Except for chinks and armitas, which are designed to fit above the boot, most chaps are long, fitting over the boot and draping slightly over the vamp of the boot (see shoe). Some designs are cut to hang long at the heel and nearly cover the entire boot except for the toe. Batwings, chinks, and shotgun chaps fit firmly but comfortably around the thigh, with shotguns continuing to fit closely all the way down the calf, though not so snug as to limit free knee movement. The shotgun design is a bit flared at the ankle to allow for the rider’s boot. Batwings and chinks are not attached around the leg below the knee.

Enjoying Boots Shopping (Ii)
Posted by admin
Luckily for today’s economically-conscious boots-lovers, there are a few simple tips that will guarantee that no woman goes astray next time she ventures into the shoe department of the local department store. These rules will allow you to quickly master the art of shoe-shopping, while not depleting the majority of the contents of your wallet.
Perhaps one of the most significant rules that every woman should understand before venturing out to the next sale, is that every pair of shoes has a relative price. While a pair of ugg adirondack boots may be on sale for a very low sticker price, countless women make the mistake of being seduced into buying such shoes when they are not actually what they want. While making this common mistake once or twice will likely not affect one’s budget to any noticeable degree, many women often have full closets of useless shoes, purchased solely because they were “great deals”. Yet when one reflects on the true cost of shoes it becomes clear that every pair of your ugg boots costs money that could be spent on more tasteful, useful pairs. Thus it is the relative cost of many regrettable sale shoe purchases that is simply too high.
To avoid sabotaging your shoe closet next time you find yourself in a ugg sale, simply ask the question, “Would I want these if they were not on sale?” If your answer is yes, then you have likely found a great bargain, but if it is no, just say no and your wallet and feet will thank you later.
In addition to the simple sale rule, another important tip for all shoe-lovers on a budget is to remember that different shoes have different values. Many women make the mistake of splurging on this season’s trends, only to find themselves having to look through the aisles of the local bargain store for the staples they need every day. Instead of allotting the majority of your shoe budget to this year’s must-haves, spend more on the classic pieces like ugg classic tall boots that will stay with you. Invest in the everyday flats, work pumps, dress stilettos, riding boots, and driving moccasins, and then spend your money more frugally on all of the seasonal trends. Buying high-quality reproductions of designer trends is one great way to enjoy this year’s look without breaking the bank.
Investing in the daily necessities and classic trends will ensure that you have beautiful, high-quality pieces for years to come and that you will be the envy of all of your friends. Use your money reasonably, happy boots shopping.

Spend Your Summer in a Horse Camp
Posted by admin
Now, the summer is fast approaching and are you considering sending your child to a summer camp with a horse program? Surely a lot of questions like what will my child learn? What kinds of horses are kept at these camps? Will normally arise.
A summer horse camp is a camp with a focus on horses-riding. The camp sessions may run from a single day to eight weeks long, depending upon the facility and the program selected. Many offer day camps that teach young children and novices the basics of horse riding. Most camps offer longer sessions where they teach horsemanship techniques to a variety of skill levels. Many of these camps are operated on full-time basis, year around horse farms. The summer camp program is great part of what the farms generally do. The farms also raise horses. It may train or board horses for other people. It will likely have programs whole year long, weather and climate permitting, where people of all ages can ride or learn to ride. Horses and horsemanship is a full-time business for these persons. Others are held at facilities that will not be horse farms, but keep all year at least part of the horses they use.
A horsemanship camp is a great way for your young child to learn the responsibility of caring for another living creature. They put children in an outdoor environment and help developing good socialization skills. A summer camp with a horse program has added benefit of teaching youngsters about these magnificent animals and developing horsemanship skills. Summer programs with horses as the central theme and related activities are found in all regions of the country. Some will focus on the equestrian skills and knowledge. These programs will have classroom studies and seminars that include basics of horse anatomy and the nature of horses along with instruction on feeding, care, and riding. These programs will assign the camper a horse for a three-week session. The care and feeding of that horse will be the responsibility of the child there. Riding skills will also be taught. Many camps will concentrate on English riding styles. Dressage techniques and patterns are practiced with eventing and show jumping. Many of these facilities have cross-country courses for more advanced riders and horses. Summer horse camps are often found on horse farms. These facilities include horse stables, pastures, show or performance arenas, and, depending upon the camp, a cross-country course also. Most also include access to trails through wooded or wilderness areas with proper guidance. Some will provide both covered and outdoor arenas. Most are set in beautiful landscapes complete with white board fences and other pastoral farm amenities for safety.
Safety is the primary element of the activities. Riders are always required to wear approved helmets and boots while on the horse. Every effort is made to match the right horse to the camper’s riding skills and their capabilities. Everyone is aware that horses are big animals, and because of their sheer size, can be dangerous in most extraordinary situations. So every effort is made to reduce the possible risks to the most minimal levels.

Ladies do need leather chaps
Posted by admin
Definition of Leather Chaps:
In modern times, leather chaps have become not just rider protection but they are also a fashion statement! Men, women, and kids all have a wide variety of leather chaps available to choose from!
Chaps are sturdy coverings for the legs consisting of leggings and a belt. They are buckled on over trousers with the chaps’ integrated belt, but unlike trousers they have no seat and are not joined at the crotch. They are designed to provide protection for the legs and are usually made of leather or a leather-like material. They are most commonly associated with the cowboy culture of the American west as a protective garment to be used when riding a horse through brushy terrain. In the modern world, they are worn for both practical work purposes and for exhibition or show use.
Chaps can be found in a variety of styles with many different details such as leather chaps. Full length chaps are attached at the waist with the seat missing to allow contact with the saddle and the rider’s legs are fully covered with the seam on the outside of the leg for comfort. These are not commonly worn in English riding although they can provide a great source of warmth and comfort. Half chaps, as the name suggests, are worn on the lower legs. They too can be made from a variety of materials, and are worn for additional comfort when riding. Usually chaps are fitted with a zip or Velcro down the outside of the leg with a strap under the foot to fasten them into place. When worn with Jodhpur boots they help to limit chafing between the saddle and the lower leg and prevent Jodhpur boots from rising up.

DAN POST BOOTS AND DINGO BOOTS – HOW TO WEAR THEM
Posted by admin
With their materials and construction, Dan Post boots and dingo boots undoubtedly give comfort to every boot wearer. However, no matter how comfortable these boots are, the boot wearer still has to make that he has worn his pair of boots properly. Such comfortable cowboy boots should fit cozy enough to the boot wearerâs feet. Boots should not be too loose or too tight. You must also remember that the thickness of your socks affect how your feet fit in the boots. Having the proper socks and the proper size of boots for you, you must follow the guidelines on how to have a proper boots fit.
So you have your perfect jeans matching your exquisite Dan Post boots. How do you properly put them on? Here is how. First, put on your jeans and sit down. One at a time, lift the jean fabric of each leg, pick up that beautiful pair of boots, and pull them on. Pull the jean fabrics over the boots. To make it look trim, pull the jean fabric in the back and bottom of the leg and wrap the fabric to the side of your ankle to keep the seams of the jeans in line with the side seams of the boot. Then tie the boots laces if there are.
To keep the pants leg in place, use an elastic band with hook-and-loop fastening closure about 2 inches above the bottom of the pant leg. These elastic bands work fine with tall black boots with a uniform or leather if your pants do not have tapered legs. Then pull the pants leg fabric down towards your foot after you wrapped and connected the elastic bands. Fold the fabric below the elastic bands and tighten it by pulling the whole pant leg down. Pull the boot on and tuck remaining loose fabric in the boots.
It is also very important to make sure that the instep is properly fit. Unlike traditional shoe with laces, the instep is the only thing a boot has to hold. So you just spotted a pair of beautifully designed dingo boots. It is the instep that determines whether those boots fit your feet or not. Â If the bootsâ throat is too tight, go to a wider width and vice versa. Also, make sure that the boot is not too short for the foot as it will force your toes into the front of the boot. The ball of your foot should fit in between the widest part of the boot. You will notice that new boots hurts a little at first. Do not worry- as you wear them, they conform to your feet.
For comfortable cowboy boots, Dan Post boots and dingo boots are perfect choices. To maximize your comfort with these outstanding boots, make sure that you follow the right procedures on wearing them. The jeans must be carefully tucked in the boots to ensure comfort and steadiness while you walk, run, or ride a motorcycle. It does not take a cowboy raised in the ranch to wear boots comfortably.

A Comparison of the Leading English Cufflink Brands
Posted by admin
There is a very large and diverse range of cufflinks, with something to suit every taste and personality. Each designer brand offers a unique look, but without knowing what sets them apart it is hard to find the right brand (and hence pair of cufflinks) for you. Some cufflink brands focus on classic sterling silver designs whilst others specialise in brightly coloured enamel cufflinks or sparkly crystal designs. There are several English designer brands that are particularly worth having a look at. In this article I will look at cufflinks from Duchamp-London, Tateossian, Simon Carter, Paul Smith, Tyler and Tyler, Murray Ward and Seven London.
If you’re intention is to be bold and get noticed, take a look at Duchamp-London cufflinks. Duchamp is a premium men’s accessories brand that has developed a global reputation for their use of vivid colours and detailed abstract designs. The cufflink shapes are classic and include rectangles, circles and ovals. The standout feature though is the vivid colour and design detail they are able to achieve through the use of hand enamelling. One of their signature cufflinks is the square Harlequin which has smaller squares of colour for a stained glass effect. Whilst most cufflinks have an abstract design, some include motifs such as paisley and floral patterns. Duchamp-London cufflinks make a strong style statement, and are there to be noticed. They are ideally suited for a confident man who wants to show that he has achieved a certain level of success and maturity.
Tateossian is a London based jewellery company, and as such their cufflinks are like pieces of jewellery with many incorporating precious stones such as onyx, mother of pearl, lapis, jade and even black diamonds. Their cufflinks are very high quality, with a close attention to detail. For example their football cufflinks feature a matching football boot, whilst their solid silver king skull cufflinks are decorated with Swarovski crystals in the crown and eyes. Tateossian cufflinks are ideally suited for special occasions and present a feeling of opulence and luxury. Tateossian are also well known for their mechanical cufflinks such as working thermometers, compasses and watches which can act as a real talking point.
The title ‘King of Cufflinks’ belongs to Simon Carter, whose range has a very British flavour. His quirky sense of humour shines through with his modern take on vintage British styling, which includes his Victorian subversives and regency squares. There is a real cross section of patterns and shapes, holding it all together by Simon Carter’s love for everything British. Many cufflinks use semi precious stones such as mother of pearl and Swarovski crystals at very reasonable prices. Unusual shapes include; honeybees, aspirin tablets, petals and teapots. His cufflinks are well suited to anyone who wants to inject a light hearted feel into their plain everyday suit.
Paul Smith is perhaps one of England’s best loved fashion designers with his distinctive, slightly 1960s, British look. He has a very strong range of men’s accessories which includes some wonderful cufflinks. Similar to Duchamp-London, classic shapes are given a unique twist with coloured enamelled patterns, such as the Paul Smith thin multi-stripe synonymous to the brand. There is a definite sense of fun running throughout the range, such as the classic British mini painted with the Paul Smith stripe.
Similar to Tateossian, Seven London is a jewellery brand with a range of designer cufflinks. All their designs combine solid silver with precious stones and crystals. Their look is fashionable and refined, with clean simple lines and limited use of colour. If you are looking for sports motif cufflinks for the discerning gentleman then look no further than Murray Ward. They specialise in solid silver designs on shooting, horse riding, golf tennis, skiing and other outdoor pursuits. Finally, Tyler and Tyler offer a unique collection of hand enamelled cufflinks with two very different signature looks. The first uses black floral silhouettes set against a background of vivid and seductive colour. This look is very dramatic and works very well with a black tie/dinner suit. Their second look is the ‘Victorian tease’, which has erotic pictures of Victorian women and will show off the more naughty side of your personality.
