 Hi Becky,
Thanks for your note. We don't do custom chaps
any more, just the colors/styles listed on the
web page at hobbyhorseinc.com.
If we don't have the size or color that you need,
I suggest that you contact Bonnie Caylor at 626.961.8827.
Bonnie is the El Supremo of all chap makers: in
fact, she's the one who taught me her trade and
that's kind of how Hobby Horse began! Bonnie worked
here with me for almost 10 years doing all the
custom chaps, but as our company grew, I realized
that we were doing lots of the the same chaps
over and over again, about 80% of the time: black
or sand in a surprisingly narrow range of sizes.
With Bonnie's help and blessing we started our
Ready-To-Win chaps about five years ago, and they
have been a great success.
Bonnie knows how to make chaps that fit, and fit
beautifully, so we adapted the custom Hobby Horse
styling to the most common sizing that we extracted
from a couple thousand sets of custom chaps. I
was a bit sceptical that off-the-rack chaps could
work, but they were a big, big hit and we now
sell a couple thousand pairs each year. The fun
part is, Bonnie and I are still great friends
and her sister, Gretchen, still makes the Hobby
Horse Ready-to-Win chaps!
So, we're one big extended Hobby Family, but if
you need something incredibly wonderful and special,
Bonnie's the one to call. She has a studio here
in southern California but sends chaps all over
the world after talking people through the measurements
over the phone. Please tell her the Hobby Girls
say Hi!
Thanks for asking, and of course, Hobby Trails!
