Chaps - How to do adjustments
If you have chaps that just don't quite fit right and you need to shorten them even if they have a design on the bottom. Maybe you need to stretch them a little or add an inch. How about your zipper is too long?
This video hopefully gives you help, ideas and solutions.

I have an older Bona Allen plantation saddle in beautiful condition. It needs billets (missing) and stirrup leathers (English type). Can I mail this saddle to you for repair???? What would something like that cost??
Yes and I got your email and sent a reply.. I am always happy to help
Great tutorial thank you ❤️
You are so very welcome, Glad you enjoyed. :)
❤❤❤❤❤❤
aweeee thank you so much :)
Thank you! Your tips worked great. I wish I could show you a picture!
Please do! Please share here too :)
Very interesting and informative. Thanks 🙏
Thank you, I appreciate you watching very much. :)
Fun fact: The alcohol trick for removing dye works best when applied inside and outside. Yup. High proof vodka seems to work better than rubbing alcohol for me.
LOLOL thank you for that... love the helpful tips as well :)
Is there any major difference between using these "line" or "heavy duty" type snaps or the "grabber" type snaps with the spikes? Also how do I set a vintage style WW2 Laurel Wreath Donut Hole Jean button that has the 2 pronged nail? Most of the videos and install tools I see are for the jean buttons with a single prong/pin nail that goes through the center
Thank you for your very good question. Yes there is a difference in different types of snaps. A lot of what we do in leather work (like for motorcycle leathers) would be just the standard snaps in a size 8 or 10. The WW2 snaps I would not be familiar with as those would deal with more fabric items. I did find another creator with another type of snap video that may help you. Unfortunately, I don't do clothing items more than like chaps, arm cuffs, leathers, vests.. etc. I hope this video link does help you. czcams.com/video/MlzutHVrsmM/video.html&ab_channel=TailorItYourself
@@TheLeatherLadyLLC Thank you! I appreciate your link.
Why can't Stirrup have a swivel where it connects to the saddle and then locks in place?
you could if you can find them that fit your stirrup leathers. They can be a little spendy and most are like a flat endurance saddle type called a 'Bell Stirrup'. Also most come metal and not leather wrapped... I hope this helps :)
Can you dye the backside (rough out side) a different color before twisting?
Is the fringe already cut or is it still a solid piece of leather? The dye may bleed through or spread depending on how much you put on, how thick the hide is. Also if you want to dye a dark side and then light side. Just my opinion as there is no right way or wrong way really. Also, every hide is different I would take a sample piece of the same hide.. dye the dark color first and seal it... then dye the second side. If you see bleeding through your leather may be too thin, or the hide has attributes that it is just going to bleed. If the fringe is already cut this could be very tedious as you would want to paint the dye on each strand, seal each strand, flip it over and do the same. I hope this helps and if you do it, I would love for you to comment with a pic or send me a pic via email as I always love to see other peoples work Thank you for watching and asking.. :) Patti
This is confusing because [rest deleted].
I am sorry you were confused. This was one of the original videos I did years ago when I first started and didn't expect my videos to get a lot of views. It was Covid time and my clients couldn't come to get repairs done, due to lock down, so my daughter talked me into sharing to help others. If you actually flip the blevins your foot would go much better in the stirrup for your knees and ankles. I have done it many times for clients. Thank you for your feedback as all are important... maybe time to do a new refreshed version :) Patti
@@TheLeatherLadyLLC I appreciate your gracious response to my comment. I stand by it but it was only intended for your eyes. Not the rest of the world.
Why not use scissors?
There are leather shears however some leather is too thick, especially if you’re using a 12 to 14 ounce skirting Leather
@TheLeatherLadyLLC oh okay that makes sense. I'm using recycled couch leather and they seemed to work well enough for my project, but I can definitely see them struggling with the stuff you had in the video
Ty
Hi, from Australia. Very interesting video. Just a few corrections on that stock saddle. It looks like it was made in India. The manufacturing methods are extremely questionable, eg the flock is not flock. They are made to a price and not to a standard. This is not how Australian made saddles are constructed. That metal bar for the knee pads is a huge worry, as you pointed out. They used to be made from molded leather and not with a metal bar and definitely not secured with a bit of twisted wire. Another reason I am sure it is Indian made. The straps you call leathers (for the girth) we call billets (English heritage). The metal thing is simply an D ring for a crupper. It should not have any structural purpose at all. The second panel looks more like a traditional handmade Aus saddle with the serge (wool) counterlining and they were originally stuffed with mane or tail hair. This is just a bit of trivia and I enjoyed your video
Thank you so much for the info and I have no problem someone sharing knowledge of a saddle as I am not savy much on the Australian saddles. I LOVE the feedback.. yes they used to use mane and tail hair here too, but use more wool.. We call them billets too.. a slip of the tongue.. Again, thank you for the feedback ,, we all can learn 😁🙏🏻
My saddle strings go through the tree. lol. Any tutorials on replacing these?
yeah, many of the saddle strings go through the tree. This was just in case somebody wanted to replace theirs without re-threading through the tree. I am getting some trees in for teaching so when I get them, I will definitely do a video for you on how to thread your saddle strings.
Too many words
thank you...will note that, :) others have mentioned they like the authenticity..
@@TheLeatherLadyLLC I just found it confusing. Cheers
@@TMxl-w5t well thank you, I will definitely pay attention to my explanations. If there is ANYTHING I can help you with so you can get a perfect grommet please reach out to me at theleatherladyllc@gmail.com

Aweeeee that is sweet, Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Glad it made you giggle.. even if I didn't sell one, I love making people laugh and feel good :)
You can use soldering iron to make holes to almost anything
yes true, just make sure if using fabric that the fabric is not flammable or can uphold due to the heat
Thank you so much for this video. Is the foam just like the type you get from a sewing department? Thanks.
You can but you would want to get it 3/4"-1" and as dense as you can get. They didn't have memory foam back in the day so that is what they used.. heavier the better. Now a days Memory foam is used a lot more as it is softer on your tush and bounces back quickly and better. I hope that helped. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask, and thank you for watching my videos. :)
Got it. Thanks so much.
Was hoping you'd show how the seat is sewn to the swells.
I ordered like a piece from online of 'high density' foam. Like a memory foam... but a heavy foam will work too. If you go to a sewing store get the HEAVIEST they have. Back in the day they didn't have memory foam.. padded seats came into play in the 1880 so things like wool, horse mane & tail were used. I hope this helped :) Thank you for watching as well :) Patti
@@tonynet2709 Hi Tony, The swell was a BUGGER to do.. but I can do a short video to explain. You have to make sure you have enough leather to GO OVER it and about an inch on the bottom side, as you will cut wedges out so you can get it to lay flat and GLUE IT DOWN.. I will try to get a video at least of a sample for you.. :) Patti
Great video!
Thank you, It makes me happy when I can help others 😁🙏🏻
Was that Aussie saddlemaker Colin Dangaard you consulted with?
I honestly don't remember as it was a very long time ago.
@TheLeatherLadyLLC ah, understood. He seems to be the only one in cali and makes his own saddles. They're expensive, but are fitted to both horse and rider. Not sure if he's still in business though. Was hoping you could help out with that info. I guess I can call to verify. By the way, do you make saddles? In your vid, you stated you were going to try a mixed version. Thanks.
It could have very well have been him. I know I spoke to him once, and he wasn't very pleasant... but it was many years ago.@@gaidhliglass
@TheLeatherLadyLLC well that wasn't very kind of him. At any rate, thanks for posting this info; it was helpful. I've ridden both English and Western and that Western saddle is very heavy for me, although, I do like the practicality of it for long trail rides. I figured a "combo" saddle might be a good alternative. Thanks again.
@@gaidhliglass Thank you for watching my video.. :) . English is a GREAT way to keep balanced in the seat. Yes some Western Saddles can get VERY heavy by making skirts so big as usually 10-12 oz leather is used. The thickest.
was that Aust saddle actually made in Australia? or is it made overseas?
this particular saddle it is unknown. I would guess to say, not made in Australia, because most true Australian saddles do not have a horn.
Thank you I had to change my blade for first time in years oh man what a problem the slot for the blade had to be opened and thought the hole had to line up but the bolts are bigger than the holes then wit that figured out worked perfectly cut 3 straps off hide :) this cutter is at least 40 yrs old
Well I am happy you did it... It is sooooo much easier and cleaner cut with sharp blades and knives :) Yes, tools can last a life time if used and taken care of properly... Glad it helped. ;)

you are welcome to click off anytime!

I can’t believe that you punched your hole ontop of the metal anvil. That is a sure fired way of damaging your tools.
You are correct and Thank you for the judging me... I have mentioned In the video and other videos explaining to WHY I was using it this one time...and that it isn't a common way. Thank you for sharing your opinions...
❤
Thank you for the love :)
Good video thanks
You are very welcome. I hope it was helpful :) Thank you for the comment, I love teaching and helping others.
Good morning Good job I'm glad you put the video. I'm just starting to work with saddles
That is awesome... we need more saddle makers and leather artisans.. if there is anything in videos that you would like to see, please let me know.. I love getting ideas from my viewers.
Enjoying the video very well presented, but the music is a little loud and annoying.
thank you for your comment. It’s greatly appreciated and I will double check my audio when doing the videos. Last thing I want is either people to be distracted or annoyed. It’s greatly appreciated.
What size rivet would you use for that area of the saddle ?
That is an excellent question and I didn't even think to put that in the video.. thank you for asking for everyone that may be having the same question. Every saddle is different in the way they are made but I would say on an average you could use a copper Burr & Rivet #12 1/2" - 3/4". They can come in a multi size pack... If you cannot find them let me know I sell them, they just are not on my website yet. just send me a message on my website theleatherladyllc.com (You want them a little longer than the thickness of the leather so you can get a good rounding pound on the top which locks it in... *** Remember you may have to snip the rivet top off if it is too long (and that is ok) before putting the burr on and pounding.. or it will be too loose or may not work.
Thank You
you are very welcome. :) Patti
Million times easier if you counter sink a hole first.
Thank you for the comment... yes one can counter sink a hole... it is optional and is always good to get other ways of doing things so a person can choose the best way for themselves. :) Soooooooo many ways to do any project. :)
Thanks. It's hard to find the right elastic. I want to fix polo knee guards that need new elastic. Would have liked to see you actually do the repairs. Just FYI. If you have a source for the elastic, I would be interested to know.
Thank you Richard for you comment, I always love a new piece of equipment that needs fixing. If I don't know the equipment, I love a new challenge. So Polo Knee guards use mostly black elastic to what I see. Most heavier elastic webbing starts at 1" width so check the width of the broken or worn out elastic. If the width is not 1" you may need to go to just a retail fabric store like JoAnn's, but I can bet they use 1". Here is a tip: I like heavier elastic as it holds up longer and usually a better quality. (there are several weights of elastic). Check your local Marine supply companies, Ohio Travel Bag carries heavy polyester (It is fine, I just don't like the lined look, I like smooth. Just a personal preference) I can also order from my supplier and ship you some. I would just need to know if you want. Many 1" elastic is sold in a full 50 yd. roll as that is how they usually come. I would be happy to help in any way. :) Thank you again for the comment and I always love to help :) Patti
what is your cost of 4 replacement billets on a dressage saddle. leather Crosby
email me at theleatherladyllc@gmail.com for a quote as each dressage saddle is slightly different. Lengths, widths and depth of where they are connected varies as well. billets range from $50-$85 a billet as they are all hand made and hand sewn
I’m haveing trouble finding these leathers to do the crafts with Can u help by giving us suggested places to purchase
you can find them through Weaver Leather supplier, Tandy, The Leather Guy, Oregon Leather, herman oaks, are to name a few. Anyone on my CZcams can always input where you get your leather as well Call them and share the project you are working on and they can help you chose the correct leather. also, many places will send you a sample of the Leather that you’re looking for and that is a good way to be sure you’re getting what you want. Leather could be expensive and you definitely don’t want to, but I have to hide or a shoulder or anything and waste good money.
Where can I purchase the soft leathers ?
see my previous reply to you 😁 thank you for asking 🙂
Someone asked me can the fringe be tight... YES, you can make the fringe as tight or as loose as you want. You will see very tight fringe on chaps and chinks. It is all a matter of preference and what look you are wanting to have... Have fun :)
I put a stick to twist stirrups on a big western saddle I rode. I was surprised more did not.
I am a little confused to your last sentence. Yes placing a stick through your stirrups can help, especially if you wet your fenders to mold the leather... but if you don't want to do this every time you ride, twisting the leathers is permanent. :)
@@TheLeatherLadyLLC right. I would twist them and put the stick through while stored and the leather kept the shape when I used the saddle. I didn’t want to wet the leather as it was not my saddle, I was young and didn’t want to risk ruining it. Also, it ws black leather. The “stick trick” worked well enough for me.
@@arribaficationwineho32 oh yes... and that is great it worked for you... depending on the style of saddle it can be easier for other to do... Thank you for commenting, it is greatly appreciated.. have a blessed day
Love it!!!
Thank you so much :)
Thank you :)
Nice video. I have a question: I brought the brads with no washers. Can they be used without washers, plan to use on card stock???
Hello, unfortunately you need both pieces to make a grommet work. I am sure you could use them on a card stock if the card stock is heavy enough as otherwise it may just rip right through it. If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to email me at theletherladyllc@gmail.com. Good luck with your project :)
Patty, thanks for the great video on grommets. Please explain which side of the washer faces outside at 10:45 time stamp. You went too fast at this point without clarification. Thanks.
there are 2 parts to a grommet. The part that has sides to it (looks like a volcano) lol... then you have the FLAT round piece. the grommet piece with the SIDES IS YOUR TOP (volcano piece). so you want the FLAT piece INSIDE what ever you are working on. I hope that helpped. Thank you for the question.. I love people asking or sharing. My quality isn't very good on the video.. but hoping to get new equipment in 2024 :)
@@TheLeatherLadyLLC Thank you for much for your explanation. This helps tremendously. Looking forward to seeing more videos from you.
Are you hitting a hole punch into a metal surface? 😮😮
yes in fact I am. 🙂 I have used wood, a pounding board, Cutting board or even yes metal metal for over 20+ years.. NEVER had an issue as I also know how to sharpen my tools. It is important for me teach in many ways for people to be able to use what they have at home if needed and not to have to spend a ton of money. There are many ways to do leather work not just one. Thank you for your comment.
Love this tutorial!
Thank you, I do love teaching 🙏🏻😁
Miss; you do a great job. Wonderful information.
Thank you, I just try to help others the best I can.
Not going to work on my saddles. The saddle strings are attached to the tree away from the hole.
that is like many saddles. I just did one that took me 4 hours to replace after dying and conditioning. To get to those you have to go under the fleece, so if a saddle needs refleecing and I examine the saddle strings I suggest to the client to do both. There is a way to save the partial old saddle string and add new ones even if threaded and are just as secure.I have done it several times
So helpful, and you are a pleasure to watch and learn from! Thank you!
awwwwe you are sweet thank you for the compliment. I hope you subscribed to hopefully help you in the future with your projects ❤️🙏🏻
Good points. We also teach customers to check for broken trees first when buying a used saddle.
Yes that is a FIRST MUST.... this was just a quick video and ALWAYS check the tree. NEVER buy a tree that is broken... it can't be repaired as it would have to be re-made.. not worth it. Thank you for the additional comments I love the input. :)
@The Leather Lady LLC glad to see someone putting out this content and educating people. Great job!
Thank you, I enjoy doing it. I didn't plan on it in the beginning as I just had clients ask me a question and thought it would be easier to explain, so did a few videos and it grew. lol I take viewers suggestions to what they want to learn and do a video :) Thank you for watching it is greatly appreciated :)
