Fit and finish are fine. The zippers are not all the heavy duty even though they say YKK, they are not the same grade as whats on my Schott or Vanson jackets.

The snaps loosely fasten and the leather is WAY too thin. I'm not sure, but they may be made with "split leather".

I paid 70. clams for mine and to top it off, they're even less expensive. "cheaper" here;

Go figure!

Sux buyin shit!

Now the money I spend on REAL chaps plus the money I already spent, would have gotten me real SWEET chaps!

I'll never learn!

To each his own I suppose.

I'm through with Leather Up.

NM, see if Leather Up will take a trade in on the ones you ordered and get the chaps that I posted above. Truthfully the ones I have are too heavy for Louisiana weather even without the quilted inserts. It has to be damn cold for me to wear them.

What size are they? Mine are a large. I wore em once and did not trim em.

I am 6' 2" 220lbs. I wear a 34" waist and I have a 34" inseam.

Wanta trade em? I'll give you the difference so you're not outta pocket.

Wouldn't work. I'm 6' 200 pounds with a 36 inch waist and 32 inch inch inseam. I'm on the last belt loop with the 36 inch waist and the rear is adjusted as much as possible. I bought double x because I was 240 last winter and had a 40 waist.

Damn. I wish I would have seen that before I bought mine. Some stuff, same layout, better prices than leatherup.com.

Edit: I just noticed there's a $300 minimum order for this site. Whew.

Here are some more places to check. I can't vouch for these because I don't own any of their products.

leather.com (San Diego leather)
legendaryusa.com
johnsonleather.com
chilhowee.net

Two sites where you may find additional American made gear:
Americansworking.com
Stillmadeinusa.com

Also check out ebay. Usually some Vanson and Langlitz stuff there.
