A SPECIAL STATEMENT

Hamley & Co is the oldest saddle shop in the U.S. It has delivered quality craftsmanship and a commitment to working cowboys and buckaroos since 1883. Originally, Hamley’s was known as a harness and saddle maker, but the business soon developed around its saddles, while also adding a variety to their leather work, including chaps. This special order pair of batwing chaps features overlaid and studded edges with the letters ID in the corners. Down the side and along the belt are nickel conchos with leather ties. Display them or wear them whatever you choose they will make a statement that won’t be ignored.
