I had a pair custom made to my dimensions at buckaroo gear......Carlos can make'em as fancy or plain as you'd like.

yeah, the only chinks i'm aware of is the derogatory meaning for asians. Good to learn something new.

I've ridden 1000's of miles horseback. Always wore chaps. More for warmth and protection from rain and snow. Nothing more uncomfortable than riding in rain pants. Makes you feel like you're sliding around in the saddle seat. My standard bad weather gear was a poncho and chaps. It can be a little like a rodeo trying to get a poncho over your head while you are mounted though. Some horses aren't used to that big floppy thing moving around above their back. A few times I had to dismount to get the poncho on...........better than getting bucked off.
Don't get rough out chaps. They soak water like a sponge. Coat the surface of the leather with some type of water proofing. Several coats a year will keep you warm and dry when it counts.
Mine are "shotgun" chaps. It means they go all the way around your leg and close with a full length zipper. They give you the most warmth and protection from weather. Bat Wing chaps leave the back of your leg open and close with three or four staps with snaps for a closure.
Chinks are normally a short, knee length type of Bat Wing chaps. Any good saddle maker can make you what ever you choose. A good pair of chaps isn't cheap.

I've had a pair of leather chinks since high school that are plain brown. My father likes the weight of the leather since they are thinner than many of the standard chap leather.
If you get up to Grangeville, Ray Holes is a quality place. You may need a custom job to get a plainer version. I like Spring snaps instead of Buckles for the leg fasteners. Fringe is only 4-5 inches. Less swoosh when you get off and don't remove them. String front and roller buckle belt in back. Leather conchos instead of silver, Plain hip pieces.

Plain jane try eBay, or go to Tandy leather get a stencil an make ur own, there's no sewing and it's held together by leather stays rivets and buckles. Mine are made of buffalo hide there real warm but also help keep heat from the sun off in the winter, smooth on top and rough on the inside. I wear high top boots with mine never could get used to shotguns. Then an outback duster to cover my top half good to go. Lout the back of ur duster over the cantle an water won't run down ur seat. Same over the saddle horn if it's that rainy. I don't hike much in mine so I have longer fringe but when I have it doesn't make much of a difference to me. I'm rifle hunting in them so the elk and deer usually don't hear them anyways.
If you get meat from the store then dont criticize me for having the courage to go out and kill my own meat
