Many have asked for this version of Armitas and, since we've built so many we've decided to make it part of your regular product offering.
The Great Basin Armitas feature a fixed sewn in fringe apron, with a buckle belt in back. Many people prefer this configuration as they are able to run the
back belt through their belt loop on their jeans. The Great Basin Armitas also feature strap and clip
leg closures which are fully adjustable.

Fit
We believe that fringe should extend to just short of the top of your
boot, we use the out-seam measurement to achieve this. If you would like
your fringe to fall shorter on your leg please provide us with a shorter
out-seam measurement.
Chap Leather
For warmer climates most prefer the lighter weight glove soft hide. Weight may vary between 3.5 to
4.5oz. For those in colder climates we can get heavier weighted leather with the same glovey
feel, this leather falls in the 5 - 6oz. weight range. Please Specify Below.
Colors
Generally we build most of our chinks in traditional colors, such as Butter/Tan,
Chocolate (Dark Brown), Cream, Tobacco (Brown/Clay).

How to Measure:
Note: Please take the time to have someone measure you. We often see
errors when one tries to measure him/herself. Use a cloth or tailors measuring
tape if possible.
Waist Measurement:
Diameter of the waist where you
normally wear your chaps/chinks. Measure over your jeans or whatever you
normally wear under your chinks/chaps.
Rise:
From the bottom of the crotch to
where you took the waist measurement.
Upper Thigh:
Diameter around the thigh just below
the crotch.
Mid Thigh:
Diameter around the thigh between the
knee and crotch.
Length:
This measurement is used to determine
the overall length of your Chinks/Armitas. From the top the top belt to
the end of the fringe (where the fringe stops). We think on Chinks or
Armitas the fringe should stop about 3-4 inches above the toe of your boot,
some people prefer them long some shorter this is entirely up to you.
Waist to Knee:
This measurement helps us to ensure that there is plenty of leather coverage below the knee before the fringe cut line starts. For this measurement please measure from where you took the "Waist" measurement down the front of your leg to the middle of you knee cap.
Inseam:
From the bottom of the crotch to just above
the top of the foot. This measurement help us determine if all the above
measurements given are accurate.
What size jeans do you wear?:
Please provide the waist and inseam size of the jeans you normally ride in.
(these numbers will almost always be smaller than your actual waist and length
measurements) This also helps us determine if all the above measurements given
are accurate.
