So here are some pics of the fabrication of the chaps. I used 600D waterproof polyduck-thus why I didn't make 'rain pants', this material doesn't really breathe, so chaps were really my only option.
I had gotten a good deal on this fabric, but hadn't really used much of it - I got 5yards!! LOL
So here's my new home made chaps! - oh ya, no pattern, winged it lol
