I found some great looking half chaps on ebay. Has anyone tried using these with a costume? I figured I'd put them over some 8 inch boots.

I've thought of that as a solution, I have a hard time with tall boots & sometimes wear the longer robes with short boots, so I'm thinking of trying a pair of 1/2 chaps with the boots I wear. I'm gonna have a go at making a pair out of pleather for Dragon Con & if they're OK, I'll do them in leather.

I have a set of half chaps, they are black suede, the only problem I have had is finding shoes or short boots to where with them. I have a question is black an ok color.

Black boots are acceptable, as long as the rest of you conforms to standards.

I got my chaps last week, they're a little large, but I'm still very happy with them. I'll post pics if anyone cares to see.

Yes, Please do post the pic. I did a search & found some sites that have them, but, not sure that they'll work w/ my short boots, I think I'll have to try and make a pair.

Hey, thanks for posting that pic heckhouse!! I was wondering what would be an alternative for boots. I like how yours turned out. I think I might take the spats tutorial, and alter it to look like yours do....somehow. If anyone has any directions (detailed would be nice), PLEEEAASSE let me know!

What about faux suede wrapped around your calf like a spat with strips wrapped around in a slouch boot look? Something sorta like this: www.shoe-shop.com/invt/sch141912&bklist=icat,3,,f10099 I'm thinking about the good old cadett boots, which are pretty cheap and can be found in tack shops: www.gprix.com/fwbt.htm Does anyone have these? Are they too warm to wear all day?

I have a pair highly modified ... I wore them 16+ hours a day during CIII, I did not find them too bad. Just get really good insoles for them. The calf is about 17inches around FYI.

Heckhouse, any pics of the half chaps splayed out? I'm looking for a "pattern" off of which i can base my half chaps...if i ever get to them.
Thanks, Den
