Remus oiled leather half chaps
Taxes included.
Shipping costs calculated at checkout.
A classic-cut pair of half chaps, made from robust oiled leather that develops a patina over the years and provides remarkable grip in the saddle.
The oiled leather is what makes the difference in use: supple from the first rides, it requires almost no maintenance, and its matte surface offers firm grip against the saddle flap. The zipper runs from top to bottom, alongside an elastic insert that follows the calf, with snap buttons at both the top and bottom to prevent it from opening while riding. To choose your size, measure while wearing your riding gear, including long socks: measure the widest part of your calf with your knee bent as it would be in the saddle, and the height from the floor to the hollow behind your knee. The size guide provides the exact match.

Half chaps are used every day: they are the piece that takes the wear instead of your trousers. Oiled leather withstands mud, rain, and saddle friction without requiring much attention.
🧴 Care instructions
Clean oiled leather with glycerin soap and condition it with grease or balm. Air-dry away from any heat source. Store it away from sunlight, dust, and moisture, in a bag: excess oil may transfer onto light-colored fabrics, porous surfaces, and other leather items left in prolonged contact. Oiled leather means suppleness and durability. Vegetable oil is introduced during the tanning process: the pores open and it penetrates through several layers. This results in a slight memory effect, particularly visible on the brown version. This patina is the signature of the material, not a defect.
