DescriptionThese leather chaps, traditionally worn on top of pants for an added layer of protection, are constructed with silver conchos made by S.C. Gallup Saddlery Co. The silver conchos are visible all throughout the chaps, notably around the waist belt, and lining along the sides of the legs. The chaps feature rounded pockets on either side of the top portion, which display a "WP" symbol. Six silver latches are also vertically visible along the edge.
