Chert Rock Chuck Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I am working on tailoring my costumes to meet CC requirements. While I have a "Gentlemens" costume that is complete, I want to finish my "Cowpoke" outfit to shoot CC as well. My question is in reference to chaps/leggin's ; I have checked the shooters manual, but there are no specifics regarding the topic. Are zippered legs considered legit, or need they be buckle, strap, or tie fastened to be considered legal attire? Thanks, Chertrock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Art Tillery Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I honestly think they would be just fine. Your talking zippered in the back correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your talking zippered in the back correct? Yes, some have zippers that run full-length on the legs, rather than buckles or ties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Hills Barb Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Zippers are SASS legal. Many will state that they are not period correct, however they ARE legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chert Rock Chuck Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 I felt as though they may not be period correct but wasn't certain.I suppose if they were available, a common hand likely wouldn't have them.... The historic value, nostalgia, period correctness of the sport, and more specifically, the category, is what first drew me into C.A.S. so I will go for something without zippers. Thanks for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Hills Barb Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I have both types. I did run a piece of leather over the zipper stitching and added conchos which gave them a more PC look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Pepper Kid, SASS #60463 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I favor batwing chaps. Three clips per leg. Easy to get on & off and they're cooler to wear in the summer. I got mine from Doc's Old West. https://www.docsoldwest.com/Home.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
