Genuine Leather Chaps for Men | Black with Yellow Stripes

These genuine leather chaps are black, with a bold yellow stripe down each leg. The Leather Tanners hand-cuts every pair from full-grain cowhide and double-stitches the seams, so they're made for the road, the rally and the club. If you want mens leather chaps that look sharper than plain black, this is the pair.

Men's Leather Chaps Made from Full-Grain Cowhide

Many cheap leather chaps online are made from PU, split or bonded leather that cracks within a season. These leather chaps for men are cut from full-grain cowhide, the strongest top layer of the hide. It keeps its natural grain, stays supple and moulds to your legs over time.

Every pair of man leather chaps we make is:

• Hand-cut: each panel is cut by hand, not stamped out in bulk

• Double-stitched: reinforced seams that hold up to regular riding

• Fitted with solid metal hardware: buckles, rivets and D-rings, with no plastic parts

• Made to order: your chaps are cut when you order, not pulled from a warehouse

These are black leather chaps built to last years, not months.

A Yellow Racing Stripe That Stands Out

A yellow stripe runs down the outer seam of each leg, giving these leather mens chaps a classic racing look. It stands out on the bike, and it makes you more visible to other road users on a grey British day.

Want a different colour? Through Custom Order we can make the stripe red (for a black and red chaps look), white or blue.

What Are Chaps Used For?

What are chaps? Chaps are two separate leather leg coverings joined by a belt at the waist, and they're worn over trousers or jeans. They have no seat, which makes them easy to put on and comfortable to wear.

The purpose of chaps is simple: they protect your legs. The main advantages of chaps are:

• Wind protection: leather blocks cold air on motorways and long rides

• Warmth: do leather chaps keep you warm? Yes. They trap body heat and stop wind chill

• Abrasion resistance: full-grain leather resists scrapes, scuffs and brush

• Grip: leather grips a saddle better than denim

• Versatility: buckle them on to ride, then take them off when you arrive

Why do cowboys wear leather chaps? Ranch hands wore them to protect their legs from thorny brush, rope burn and livestock while riding. Bikers took up the same design for protection on the road, and that's why cowboy leather chaps and leather biker chaps share the same classic cut today.

Leather Chaps for Motorcycle Riders

These motorcycle chaps protect you without the bulk of full riding trousers. As leather chaps for motorcycle riders, they suit:

• Daily commutes and weekend rides

• Long tours and motorway cruising

• Biker rallies and meet-ups

For decades, biker chaps men wear on cruisers and touring bikes have looked like this: black leather with contrast details. These chaps for bikers carry on that tradition, and they're a practical choice for leather chaps for men motorcycle riders who want protection with style.

How to Clean Leather Chaps

Here's how to clean leather chaps and keep them supple:

1. Wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth after every ride.

2. Let them air-dry naturally, away from radiators or direct heat.

3. Condition the leather twice a year to keep it soft and water-resistant.

4. Store them hanging up, not folded, to prevent creases.

Never machine-wash leather or put it in a tumble dryer.

How to stretch leather chaps: new full-grain leather feels firm at first. Wear them for short periods and they'll soften and mould to your legs within a few rides. A leather conditioner speeds this up.
