| Leathers The following are descriptions of types of leathers suitable for chaps. If you are trying to match fabric, I will have the leather company I use send you swatches of current hides. Time is of the essence since dye lots change. Choosing your chap leather first is the easiest, since there are more fabric colors available for show clothes. If you do purchase your pants & top first, I recommend a good color match before comfort. Nothing negatively catches the eye more than off color matches. _______________________________________________________________ Note: To view the leather color swatches you will need Adobe Reader click here to download Top Grain Cow Available in 43 colors, 3 - 3.5 oz weight & can be used either suede or slick side out.
