Not really the cheapest, not a whole lot of selection (only four different chaps), but pretty much guaranteed to fit, definitely heavy enough to protect you, and made in the USA: www.hillsideusa.com

Put the words - naked leather chaps - in the search box
Naked leather is the best. Beats split and topgrain any day

Fox Creek has an excellent return policy. Just give them a call; they do a great job in helping you determine what you need to order.
All the others mentioned are good sources as well. Good luck shopping!

How do the sizes run?
I bought a pair that is XL and they fit very tight at the highest point of my thigh. I wear a 36-29 pants and thought the XL would have given me extra room but they were tight.
I bought mine at JR's Discount here in NC and had to return them.

On the same note as chaps, I bought a pair of flannel-lined jeans at Cabela's, and I have found them to be warm enough in the 50+* range.

I need a pair of chaps now that the colder wether is just about upon us, or upon me! I stopped at JR'sDiscount where they sell Interstate for a real good price, but could not get my size. Does anyone have any advise as these will be my first pair of chaps. I am 61 and have been riding for many years but have never bothered to get a pair of chaps, but feel it is finally time to help extend my riding season a little. I would love to have the Harley brand, but it is a bit steep for me. I know the saying that you get what you pay for, but I also know that is not always the case. Any help would be greatly appreciated here.
Just found a new site with killer prices Jafrum.com
I ordered a set of lined buffalo leather for like 58 bucks with shipping

I use my Fox Creek chaps alot. They have the removable liner and the fit is awesome. I picked mine up on their clearance page for a considerable discount. These will last a very long time, I am sure of it.
