But are they assless chaps?

There is definitely something foppish about wearing denim chaps over cut-off jeans.
It’s almost like you cut up a pair of jeans to make chaps, and then wear them over the very cut-off jean shorts you made the chaps out of.

Denim chaps. Holy cow. No cowpoke worth their salt would wear denim chaps. Leather chaps are for getting a better grip on the saddle than you’d ever get with denim. I’ll get off my high horse, now.

Throw some denim overalls over this and you’ve got yourself the turducken of the fashion world.
ETA: or I guess denim panties/boxers underneath

The WTF “Made with Water” statement is missing this:
<Less® technology - Uses 96% less water than standard finishing techniques
That clarifies it.
Feels a little disingenuous rainbow-capitalism to see a slogan like “use your voice” for LGBTQ+ Pride when voices were used for ages, unheard, and it took a trans woman throwing a brick at a cop to kick off a riot before real change started happening.
Especially with similarity to current events.

I am kind of confused by their choice of models and sizes… I would have imagined their models being a bit larger and with more body hair, if you know what I mean. And most of the members of the community in question would probably not wear them with jean shorts, either… or shirts. Vests. Or harnesses.
I doubt if very many people within the intended user base care about saddle grip…

I’ve found that 13oz is a nice daily driver weight. Substantial but not uncomfortable and easy to break in.
