    Did anyone notice that the gloves have beaded cuffs? those must be for the best cowboys ever...Indian cowboys! I HAVE to get some of this! I like Elizabeth's Studio fabrics....very unique.

    Sorry spa, not trying to be tacky, but spats go over the top of your shoes. and chaps go around the waist and all the way down to the ankles.

    Yep they are chaps, gloves, belt buckles and maybe even some spurs. I have been around horses a bit so to answer the question about chaps, cowboys worn them over their jeans so when they had to rescue cattle stuck in the briers they would not tare their pants up, also they helped to keep snakes from biting through to the legs when they were walking the trails.

    Favorite fabrics, go to yahoo.com or google and type in spats and chaps and there are pictures of how each are worn and just what they look like. This might help you with the chaps to decide if you want to use the fab. or not in your quilt. I would use it if I were making a cowboy quilt and had other fab. to go along with it. What other fab. are you using, do you have pics.?
