Custom Chaps
Shotguns, Arizona Bells, Reining, Show, and Repairs

I offer custom western chaps in a variety of styles, mainly catering to the show and working cowboys and cowgirls. Every pair is custom made to the client's measurements to ensure a perfect fit. My laced in zipper style chaps are made with adjustable zippers for a pair that should work for you in all seasons. I have learned to make chaps from some of the best chap makers out there. Every element of the design is made with functionality and comfort in mind. I order my leather from one of the most reputable tanneries in the United States. All buckles, zippers and rivets come from Weaver Leather Supply or other reputable suppliers. I use high quality products to make chaps and chinks that will last a lifetime.

Initiating Your Order:

If you are interested in chaps, please reach out to me using the "Get Started" button below or send me an email at: featherleatherco.sc@gmail.com. I also respond to inquiries via instagram and facebook messenger as well. 

  1. I prefer that local customers come to my shop in person or at Tumbleweed in downtown Aiken for measurements. I can also meet local customers at their barn or a horse show. My shop is located in SC but is a private address. Customers can make appointments with me to visit.

  2. For folks long distance, I'll schedule a call with you and we'll go over all details and then discuss obtaining correct measurements via facetime, skype, zoom, etc. 

  3. Upon taking down your order, I create a sales order and send to you for review and approval. I look for a deposit of 50% up front and the balance upon completion. At the time of deposit, I will share with you the lead time. I try to work on completing orders anywhere between 8-16 weeks.

Designing Your Chaps

At Feather Leather, I believe in collaboration and creativity. Together, we will design your chaps to reflect your unique style and vision. From selecting materials to finalizing the details, your input is invaluable in creating a custom piece that you'll love. Let's embark on this exciting design journey together!

Style: First, we'll discuss which style of chaps or chinks suit the type of riding you do. If you show, there are some limitations based on the association like AQHA, NRHA, or ARHA. 

Color: Next, you'll pick out color and either smooth-out or rough-out. We'll talk about the color of the horses you ride, show shirts and pads, and what we feel will best suit you.

Yoke: So many options! Whether you want to go with a traditional look of a basket stamp, or fully tooled with a unique design, the possibilities are endless. We'll also decide on yoke shape, which is determined by the overall style. 

Buckstitching or Lacing: We'll determine color of the lacing that goes down the leg. 

Pocket: My cowboys and cowgirls usually like a pocket for snacks and such. My show folks are permitted to have a pocket, but that is association-dependent. 

Back Belt/ Front Belt: More of a stylistic choice. For fronts: My cutters and cowfolk sometimes prefer a tie string. Show folks usually like a buckle style with an oval cart buckle. For back belt: I typically recommend a cart buckle, because you can easily adjust it after you get on your horse. Reiners cannot ride with a buckle, back belts must be continuous piece or attached by conchos (adjustable).
