Chaps, Woolies, Checkerboard, Hamley & Co. Pendleton, Oregon, Handtooled Leather, Marked 22, Vintage, ‘20s, Provenance, 878

WILD AND WOOLY!
Hamley & Co is the oldest saddle shop in the U.S. It has delivered quality craftsmanship and a commitment to working cowboys and buckaroos since 1883. Originally, Hamley’s was known as a harness and saddle maker, but the business soon developed around its saddles and became known throughout the west as the maker of “the finest saddles man could ride.”  Hamley & Co. expanded their work into other items like chaps. Featured here is a pair of canvas lined and leather backed angora wool chaps. They are checkered black and white for an utterly unique look. The pair is finished with pockets and a basket stamped billet accented with six scalloped silver conchos with latigo strings. A pair like this is hard to ignore, perfect for any collector.
