That's unfortunate. I try like hell to avoid buying clothing online. Just never know. The little leather I do own, I am fortunate enough to have a leather store in my hometown. They have good prices and I know the stuff fits. I also look for blemishes and texture in the leather before buying.
I hope your future chaps are problem free.

When I bought my chaps, I went to a local biker leather shop. The gal took my measurements and explained that leather chaps should fit snugly around the thighs because they will stretch. Mine did, and I have been wearing them for 3 years. I recently lost a lot of weight, so now I get to go buy another pair.

Bought boots from them more than once -- Those Xellements aren't bad. Seen a few jackets and "eh" --- Got chaps from http://www.jafrum.com and pretty happy...

Alright I'm sure that some will post "serves you right for buying chaps..." but
I ordered a pair of chaps size 36 from leatherup.com, received them and they were tight in the thighs. I unsnapped the insulated liners out and they still were tight so I boxed them up and sent them back in exchange for a size 38. It cost me $20 to send them back so I would get them back to CA in the alotted timeframe.
So I get an email yesterday saying they do not have a size 38 and they are crediting my paypal account $71.45. I paid $89.95 for them. I sent them an email and they responded saying that they did not receive them in the same condition they were sent because I did not snap the liners back in so they charged me a re-stocking fee. What a load of crap. So It cost me $38.50 to be shopping for chaps again..............
Ok now I feel better that I got that off my chest.

don't know the other side of this. on the other hand if i'd read this first i wouldn't have gotten my chaps there.
before i bought mine i read the product reviews and took the advice to heart and ordered them accordingly...they work perfectly for what i wanted.. they keep me warm when riding under 45 degrees...

Nothing wrong with chaps, man - pretty comfy in colder weather.
There's some things you just can't buy without trying them on first. Jackets, vests and helmets are just a few. Sorry you had to learn it the hard way, but I'll bet it's left an unforgettable impression.

Do you usually get a hair fire from one post presenting one side of a problem with a dealer with a pretty good reputation?
I am sure they are crushed at losing all the business you have been throwing their way. Right?
