Now you can have the best of both ---- not look like the village people (leather pants and chaps included) BUT... still recieve the protection you are looking for.

Custom made chaps
Being 6'4" with a 36" inseam, I found nothing off the shelf that would work (I looked at both pants and chaps). A friend pointed me to Western Boot Shop in Old Colorado City near Colorado Springs to have custom chaps made.
I really love them. They fit, go on/off easy, and are heavy enough to provide excellent protection.
So I wear good jeans all the time and chaps when the weather calls for it.

Chaps most of the time.
I like that I can wear whatever I want under them, from shorts on a hot day, to jeans or even my carharts on a cold day. Even my dress pants on the way to work. I'm pretty sure nothing looks more "gay" than when I don't wear the chaps and the wind blows my dress pants up to my knees when I'm cruising up the interstate to a meeting. Black cowboy boots and bare white knees? I don't care how much you say you don't care what other people think, that's not a good look.

It makes you look like an urban biker. Get it? urban cowboy <---> urban biker. That's my joke of the day.. ok, carry on.

Trick is to avoid the highway pegs with slacks on . For me, long undies work just fine. Trip to the bathroom, pull them off and stuff them in my bag. Beats hearing Village People jokes all day.

You probably were not on an internet forum 25 years ago either. I know I wasn't. And I have not had a fashion discussion IN PERSON with a fellow biker even to today. There's something about the internet that just chaps my ***. And speaking of chaps, I do wear them sometimes.

So, personally I'm one of those guys that says (to himself) chaps are gay when I sees dudes strutin around the bar like they're all of that, showing off their chaps and vest with all the cool patches.
I just don't get it. sorry.

I don't get any Village People jokes, but I have a hard time masking my disdain for those who ask, when I walk in carrying my helmet and wearing black leather jacket and chaps, "Did you ride your motorcycle today?"
Here's your sign.
