Leather Motorcycle Chaps Hand-Stitched, Made-to-Measure Since 2009
Leather motorcycle chaps from Leather Collection are hand-stitched from cowhide and ship to 50+ countries. Whether you ride cruisers on weekend highways or tour long distances daily, these chaps shield your legs from wind and road debris. Custom sizing means you get protection fitted to your exact measurements, not one-size-fits-all compromise.
BENEFITS
Motorcycle chaps reduce wind chill and abrasion during extended rides because the cowhide resists tearing and weathering. Hand-stitched seams stay intact through thousands of miles, and made-to-measure cuts eliminate bunching at the knees and ankles. CE armour options add impact protection for sport riding, while the natural leather develops patina with regular conditioning.

Hand-stitched seams use reinforced thread patterns that distribute stress across multiple anchor points along the inseam, outer seam, and waistband. This construction stays intact through thousands of miles of riding because each stitch is individually locked, preventing unraveling if one thread fails. Machine-sewn seams follow a single line and are more prone to fraying at stress points like the cuff and snap attachment. Our chaps are stitched by hand to handle the flex and abrasion of extended cruiser and touring rides. Condition the leather every 6 to 12 months to maintain seam integrity.
Over-pants chaps are ideal for both touring and cruiser riding because they slip over your jeans without restricting leg movement and are easy to remove at rest stops. They protect your lower legs from wind chill and road debris during multi-hour rides. For sport touring or track days, armoured riding chaps integrate CE-rated armour pockets on the hips and thighs to absorb impact energy. Custom-fitted chaps eliminate bunching at the knees, making them more comfortable on very long rides. All three types ship to 50+ countries with current timelines to your region.
Over-pants chaps have a standard waist and inseam and are designed to fit on top of your regular jeans or riding pants. They are ready to wear once they arrive. Custom-fitted chaps are tailored to your exact waist, hips, length, and calf width, so they sit flush against your legs without excess fabric or gaps. Made-to-measure chaps require you to provide your measurements during checkout via the Made to Measure form, then ship in 4 to 6 weeks from spec confirmation. Custom-fitted chaps cost more but deliver greater comfort and coverage on multi-day rides because they conform to your body shape.
Clean your chaps regularly with a soft brush or damp cloth to remove road salt and dust. Every 3 to 6 months, apply a leather conditioner to the grain side to keep the hide supple and water-resistant. Avoid direct sunlight and extreme heat when storing; hang chaps on a padded hanger in a cool, dry closet. Never use soap or harsh solvents, as these strip natural oils. Proper conditioning prevents cracking and keeps the leather from becoming stiff. If you need specific care recommendations, contact our Help Center for guidance.
