For your consideration are Custom Montana Great Basin Style Buckaroo Leather Chinks, circa late century, thought to be from a Montana maker / saddlery. This pair of chinks is wonderfully and professionally crafted leather construction that features thick leather with six conchos along each leg, leather fringe trim on the inside. North & Judd Brass buckle. Chinks are a common choice to wear in warmer weather because they are shorter and more breathable that chaps. They keep you cool, rather than keep you warm. Chinks can also help the rider stay in the saddle better because the leather sticks better to the saddle than a regular pair of pants. Chinks used to be mainly popular in the Southwest, California and Nevada, where cowboys referred to themselves as “buckaroos,” but today chinks are seen quite often all over the West and in Texas. Chinks are handy if you need to get down on the ground to work such as during brandings, working in a feedlot or doctoring calves. Their length is perfect to keep your knees protected during such tasks, yet not too long that they inhibit movement. These chinks are in good overall condition, supple leather, wear consistent with normal use and age, front pockets missing. Waist 28"-30", 42"L to bottom of fringe.
