Stopped by my local dealer on saturday to get some chaps, my g/f is buying them for me as an anniversary present. So I tried on the 36" length apron chaps and they come to about the top of my ankle, basically I had sneakers on at the time and they pretty much just touched the tops(low top sneaker). I wanted to try on some 40 inch length chaps too but he was out of them. I was wearing them clipped just above my waist. He's going to get a set of 40" chaps in this week or next and give me a call so I can try them on.
So I searched around a little bit, but I'm trying to figure out where these should sit on me. I didn't want to buy a pair of 36 and end up needing 40's. I'm not super tall, I'm 6'1" and my legs are actually short, I wear 32" length pants. Should these hang over my shoes? Or should they stop at the ankle? I want to make sure and get the right ones. As always, thanks for the help guys.
My dealer actually offered to let me take home the 36" chaps and get em filthy and come back and try the 40's on and if need be exchange em. That's why I like going there, but I'm not doing any cutting between now and then so I didn't wanna waste his time. Also got my saw tuned since it's broken in, he said it's still a lil high up in the rpm range, so cut some more and bring it back and he'll tune it again.
And of course since I can't leave there empty handed, I picked up a no spill 5 gal gas can. It was 35 bucks, but man those things work great and really don't spill, I saw one in action and was hooked. Ok I'm done rambling now.
