HELP!
MY CHAPS DON'T FIT... (read the following)
Are you new to a pair of chaps?
Often it is how you put them on
that will cause a fit problem. Basically, you should buckle the belt
first before you zip the legs. Buckle it at or below your belt line.
Then the zipper zips on the outside back of leg.
1) THIGH IS TOO SMALL?
Be sure to buckle belt somewhere under your existing belt line before
attempting to zipper leg. If still too small, chaps must be exchanged.
Consider expandable thigh chaps that can offer you at least 2” more in
the thigh area. Otherwise, write down the additional inches needed in
the thigh and enclose with your return. This will help us get you the
right size.
2) THIGH IS TOO LARGE?
If you can pinch more than 2 inches on each leg it can easily
be taken in at any local shoe repair shop. They can cut and reattach
the outside seem or remove and reattach one side of the zipper to
compensate smaller size.
3) LENGTH TOO LONG?
Simply take a straight edge to make a line and a good pair of
household sheers and cut to length as needed. It is common to have to
trim off length for most customers. All depends how you like to wear it
on your hips.
4) WAISTBAND SIZE TOO SMALL?
Lacing in back of chaps could be let out as much as needed to compensate
waist size. Jamin' Leather offers Chap
Extenders for only $8.95 that will add 4-6 inches to the waist size.
5) WAIST SIZE TOO BIG?
Lacing in back can be tightened or overlaped and re-laced for a
smaller size. If still too big a local shoe repair can remove the belt
from the front, cut excess belting and restitch to chaps. Some shoe
repair shops can add additional grommet holes on belt or back lacing
area if needed. Consider this alterations can be less time consuming
and costly than the exchange shipping cost.
