Man this thread was funny. Hats off to the OP for taking a good flaming and having fun with it.
Personally I wear Carharts bibs overall. Never liked chaps
It's great to see the camaraderie. its easy to get pissy but as you pointed out there is a graceful way to handle deferent opinions with out wanting to an ini-late the other
Where did the whole "fringe" thing start, anyway, if anyone knows? I have this vague recollection of places like "Chess King" in the early 1970's selling stuff with fringe on it. But that's the earliest memory I have of it. What's the origin?
FWIW, although I don't have fringe anything, I had some fringed handgrips once, and it felt and looked cool riding down the road with the things flappin' about in the wind. (Does this mean I'm gay?)

Fringes actually help shed water. Trappers used them and also would cut off a fringe to use as a piece of string. Now you know.

The Native Indians showed early settlers how to make clothes from skins and why the fringe works to shed water.
to op. yes you should get suede leather chaps with fringe.. Start the trend all over again. I am getting tired of looking at 300,000 + bikers at a rally all looking alike with their smooth black chaps.
