Review on Stay Stylish and Protected with Milwaukee Leather MLL6535 Women's Black Lightweight Hip Set Leather Chaps by Daniel Roe

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice skin and clear design

Nice skin and clear design. Be sure to measure according to the manufacturer's instructions, but in my experience they run one size smaller than the chart says. I sent back the first pair which according to the diagram should have fitted perfectly. Before ordering a second pair, I asked the seller to measure and all sizes came out a size smaller than listed. I don't know how the other guys fare, but my guess is that both legs weren't made by the same seamstress - given the mass production methods, my idea that the same person worked on the entire piece is pretty silly. In any case, on the second pair, the front buckles are offset by almost an inch causing them to fit unevenly and one leg is about 1 1/2 inches longer than the other causing the shin buckles to fall off and clip off will . Adjusting the length is a bit tricky. It wasn't a difficult rework considering I've been sewing for over 50 years. And it might not be a problem for someone who doesn't sew and isn't trained to pay attention, for example to making sure certain things fit together - maybe I'm expecting too much. Changing her wasn't as hard as trying to get her back. And also the fact that I certainly couldn't guarantee that the next couple would be the same. "Do not need the same change. They are comfortable to wear, look great and I would buy them again. If the feet fit I would give them 5 stars.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
