This is a pair of leather shotgun chaps from circa 1930. The shotgun style chaps were and are popular with working cowboys and others for their high degree of protection and stability in the saddle. The closed-leg, zip-up design meant the elements could be kept out while heat could be retained. Incidentally, the zippers on these chaps are Talon zippers; Talon being the company that invented the first zipper in 1893. The chaps are in well worn yet solid condition. The chaps measure 42.5" W x 36" L.
