Default Chaps with Reflective piping

A couple months ago I saw some black leather chaps with reflective piping stripes down the legs. My girlfriend has been searching for these to get for me, and was very disappointed in not being able to locate them. They were not HD brand, and we saw them in a leather shop. The leather shop did not have my size and gave us info online to try to get them (of which said company located in Chicago is out of business). Any how, does anyone know any place to get such chaps? They are different and with the reflective piping adds a extra level of safety! Thanks much, and patiently waiting for spring!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't help with the different chaps but there is a place selling sew on reflective stripes, supposed to be hardly noticeable in daylight then reflective when light shines on them. Might be an option, search biker hiway, I have no experience with it, just been looking at them

I agree with mudder, they probably sewed them on. YOu can find lots of ebay and have them done yourself

I have these chaps. They are a HD brand. They were called the illuminators. The reflective stripes are around the bottoms and the outside area near the zippers. I really like them. Picture is from a couple of years ago with my old bike.

I have a pair with the reflective piping down the side, bought them around 4 years ago.
They are from a company called bullet proof. Might still be in business.

Pic of the reversible chaps I mentioned earlier.
They have the matching vest and I think also a jacket.
I like these so much I might end up getting myself a pair.
