Description

What do you do with “NEW” jeans that the brand name decided to give them their special stressed look and the butt busted out of them? No, these were not my jeans but one pair of the many “NEW” jeans that were given to me to recycle that had a distressed effect worn into the crotch and rump. Must admit it is a smart move on the companies part that’ll keep them buying there cheap pants.
Well, I’ll tell you what you do with them, take your son’s advice and make him some Cowboy Chaps!

Notice it’s shorts under the chaps, he really did not want to wear any thing under these. I convinced him that it might be a good idea to wear shorts at least for these photos!

    Plan to up-size these to fit an adult. I wear shorts to the barn to muck out my stall. When a trail ride offer comes up, it’s a pain to change into full jeans in the trailer. With the full leg chaps, I can put them on over my shorts.

    Such cute photos! And what a great idea (I mean “turning them into chaps” not “nothing under them” idea! ;-)) – he is a future “re-fashioner”! ;-);-);-)

      He’s the one that comes up with most of the boy projects I make, and usually its some thing he wants to keep. He love dress up clothing but where around here can you find , little boy stuff, so I cater to his requests.
      There are shorts under these chaps I promise!
