From what I understand is that goatskin chaps were preferred by most "on the range" cowboys because they turned briars, thorns and cactus needles better than cowhide and were more resistant to wear and tear.
I'll have to look into that. Could be!
Goat hide also deters bees, unlike cowhide. Remarkably, bees can smell the difference. They'll flat go after you with cowhide leather gloves on! That's why beekeepers use Goat skin gloves.
Love the information , thanks a bunch guys. 🤠
Chaps, cuffs, boots and hats served the cowboys greatly during their work days. Woolies were very popular in the later half of the 19th century.
Yes.
Santee, my lips get dried out sometimes here in Arizona. Maybe I can buy some Shapstick.
Another great video!
Good luck asking for that in the store
Nice pun Rick
I still say you guys need your own show on history channel or something
Why thank you so much!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Noooooo!!!!! Y'all have a show already. History channel will make you do aliens, or LGBTQ outlaws.
I still can’t convince my dad that it’s pronounced SHaps not CHaps
Aw, some cowboys out here and in Texas still call them CHaps. It's all good.
Tell him CHaps are those fellows over in England
It was hard for me
Finally someone who pronounced the word right. Thank you.
You're welcome.
We have something like that down here in the southern cone of the americas, it's called "tirador" ( in Brazil) or "cingidor" (in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay). It's a leather sheet that covers the gaucho's leg. It is one sided peace, so you can only use it to protect one side at a time
Thanks for the info!
I loved the Three Stooges episode where the cowboy is cleaning his woolies with kerosene and is set on fire by Curly's discarded match!
hmmm....I'll have to check iit out!
How do you not have at least 1 million subs. This stuff is more entertaining then most youtubers these days.
At first, didn't think that this was going to be much. But was pleasantly surprised.
Good. Research does a lot.
special chaps were adopted by lumberjacks for use with chainsaws: the fabric is made to slow and stop chains protecting the legs much like leather stopped cactuses, thorns, and burrs
😀
Gotta have _chaps_ for riding thru the high _chaparral._
A nice introduction to an essential piece of cattleman attire.
This should be quite illuminating to those who thought chaps started with the Village People. ;)
Wait...they DIDN'T??
How do you feel about doing a video on card and parlour games of the Old West -- faro, whist, poker and the like?
It's on the list. I'm even going to do one on cardsharps! Thanks for watching.
For those who don't know Chaps are based off of Indian leggings, but I freaking love this channel,love the old west
Some sources say the Spanish brought knowledge of them over from Spain, but I bet the two cultures developed them together.
We is always larnin', ain't we? Thanks for watching and adding info.
Looks like the Tucson Space Program is off to a fantastic start
lol
Shaps, until now a subject I never gave a chit about! Great vid!
HA! Glad it was helpful!
Who else was led here by red dead 2
Doing a review on that game this Saturday!
I was
I was 😂😂😂😂
😳
God I love that game
Some of these shaps are giving me the woolies.
HAHAAHAH!
Thanks. Very interesting.
I love my good ol' SHaps
Correct. Many cowboys I know still call 'em CHaps. They also say Halapeeno (Jalapeño)
Awesome video! Never knew so much about chaps or shaps.... Loved the special effects after sitting on the cactus...lol
Finally got a decent pair of working chaps back in the day... Used then a couple of times before going active in the Army... loaned em to my buddy who was still working ranches... ,I asked about them three years later... All that was left was a couple of pieces of wore out leather in the back of his pickup...
Jeez! I guess that work will do that to 'em.
Arizona Ghostriders ... That same buddy owns the chaps worn by Gregory Peck in "Duel of the Sun"... Courtesy of Nevin Busch ... Pretty light weight fabrication... Didn't see much use after the filming I'd guess...
My wife Cathy and I learn something new every time we watch your videos. Thanks for sharing and we'll see you on down the trail
Thank you and thanks Cathy!
Drawing a fantasy/historical fiction character, and this was super helpful, thank you so much! Definitely gonna go through your other videos about western clothing and equipment

Greetings from Ireland. Very interesting as always.
Thanks Bernard!
Cool video Santee. You had me laughing out loud with the aerial cactus propulsion.
Thanks, LF. I'm just happy you called it an "aerial cactus propulsion."
Either that or a pain in the asterisk.
Lukely I have not been stung by cactus though all my friends have.
Thank for this video santee
good morning Cheese!!! Great vid this morning as always.... I can hardly wait to hit Walgreens this morning to pick up some Shapstick ... they're going to laugh at me, but by gum I'll know I'm pronouncing it right!!!! ha ha ha ...... and tell Dirty Dan he has had a couple of weeks off now, its time to get off his duff and get back in the vids :-)
HA! He was hunting some wild game. Now he's back.
Very informative, as always!
Until you look it up and realize I've been lying all this time!! MWAHAHAHA!!
Diabolical! LOL!!
ANOTHER GOOD ONE ! KEEP IT UP !!
Thanks, will do!
Just stumbled apon this channel. I enjoy it very well. Subscriber here.
Thank you, Edward! Welcome to our info-tainment!
I bet it's so fun to go to and take part in reenactments!
Very. I like to call them "gunfight shows"....fits better.
These are cool, hahaha chewy, great video!
Thanks!
Good info on this thx
More good information as always thank you 🤠👍
👍
Yeeeeeouch! I'm sure you're sticking removing cactus needles ;-) Haha! All the more reason to wear chaps! Very cool. Didn't know any of this- very interesting!
Glad you think so!
Awesome video 👍
Thank you!
My grandpa used to say "chaps" is what the wind does to yer lips.
Yep he's right
Glad you pronounced Chaps correctly.
Not a lot of people know that. I had a really nice black pair with fringe and bradding. Very thick leather, got them in Surges 1995. They rode about 50,000 Miles with me. From Wyoming to So. Carolina and plenty of states in between.
Sorry I got them in 1994.
Hey, guys! Where did you get those GORGEOUS batwing chaps you display in the middle of this video? Have you ever considered doing a video, or series of videos, about the movie cowboys of the mid-20th century, and the Western fashion craze that resulted (and which almost died out with the appearance of the British rock groups in the early 1960's!)? Their influence, after all, helped to lay the foundation for what you folks are doing now! Thanks in advance!
I love ur channel.......
Thank you!
Hey Santee!, These are Always fun and interesting.
I was wondering if you Could you do a video on watches (pocket, wrist or whatever.) in the old west ? That be pretty cool to see.
Or maybe old west instruments?
The old west railroads?
Would love to see these topics!
Thank you! Yes, I will do that. We're getting quite a few requests so it may be awhile.
Learned some things. Thanks!
Good! You're welcome.
Another great video! Leaving a thumbs up :)
Thanks, Sandra!
I like to store a small bottle of schnapps inside my chaps
Chaps Schnapps?? You rogue!
Good video thumbs up
I would so love the chance to make a pair of period authentic chaps.
All it takes is the money for the leather! The patterns are easy to find.
@@ArizonaGhostriders I have the leather and pattern just need the customer lol.
That’s so cool
I thank ya for watching!
Interesting!
great video
Thanks, Led!
Whenever I visit my family's hometown in Mexico, there's usually a parade where all the guys get to ride there horses and dress up like vaqueros. I usually try to ride when I can, but man does it get hot wearing chaparreras for hours under the sun and on horseback. Don't even get me started on having to take a leak while wearing those things.
Great video bro...
Why thanks!
Hey Santee, now that you have done a video on chaps, could you do a video on gents?
...sorry
dude that was a very cool video
Thank You!
Us CHAPS from the UK thought that was good !!!!
HAHAHA!! That is a good one.
Chhhaps, Mickey Mouse was not in danger too many skins required.
Lucky for him!
Top!!
glad I subbed
I'm a truck driver and I wear them in bad weather when I have to be out of the cab pulling curtains and straps and such they keep my legs warm and dry without getting a sweaty crotch
Perfect modern use for 'em!
Very good. The only thing I would add is a Mexican variant,
a chap that was part of the saddle furniture. The horse wore
it, not the cowboy.
That's correct, but that pre-dates the Old West period which is why I didn't put it in. By this era, the Mexican Vaqueros had improved upon the saddle and leather was attached to the rider.
I like your work, and
I have to shade my agreement with you. In the days before
the Civil War the favorite form of recreation and entrepreneurship
for country boys in South Texas was cow hunting. San Antonio was called "West Texas" at that time.
Prickly Pear cactus grows up above a man's head down there,
even today, and many of the brush species have thorns.
Even in Shanghai Pierce's time, the snot-slinging cattle were so wild in that
country that they only came out of the brush at night, and
the cowboys had to sew their eyelids shut to keep them on the
trail north. Thus, cowboys sometimes developed a reputation
as brush poppers.
I have to suspect that not only were some of their chaps part of the
saddle furniture at that time, but also that prized horses were
sometimes decked out with leather breast plates, esp. in
the cooler winter months.
@@arailway8809 I agree that they had interesting methods with dealing with the terrain and weather. Appreciate all that info, too.
Watching this makes me wonder... Would that not have been very hot?"
Yep, but it was better to be protected from horns and thorns than a little warm.
Gotcha‘!@@ArizonaGhostriders
Tiger 🐅 chaps sounds like quite the site
All the rage
Nice hat
Thank you!
Great video Santee I love your videos I watch them everyday. Can you do a dressing the part on the Cowboy?-Morgan Trenshaw
Chaps, as opposed to the Bloke on the Range's buddy. The Chap.
Correct.
Hey cool video I love your accent btw
Now you have me interested in crafting my own “shaps”! But, where do I find an authentic, period correct pattern?
Love your channel! Full of information!
They are out there. I know because I have a pattern from Tandy.
a type of chaps
Huh?
Santee, don’t know if you read much cowboy poetry. Look up Gary McMahan. He did a poem made from a letter Dick Spencer wrote to Ralph Lauren on how to pronounce the word chaps. I think you’ll get a kick out of it. It has a good ending.
Thanks I will.
"Chaps",,, Gods picture frames for ladies ...
LOL!! HAAHAH!
I found a pair of motorcycle chaps at yard sale for five dollars and making them to fit me .
Great. If you want to be correct historically, you will have to remove the zippers and add leather ties or concho buttons
I think the possibility that the Spaniards we're first ones to use them they were made out of burlaps sacks
Could have been a fabric, too.
“As Always” 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤠
Thanks!
Santee what about the bracelets Cowboys wore in pears on their wrist and lower arms they were called cowboy cuffs today
searched from HayDay.
🤠
How about a show about old west hideout holsters?
Sante
Can you make a video about wich horses dey ride
Kaan
I want to get a pare chaps some time.
Yes!
Wouldn’t trade mine for anything!
Good!
