Also, there is an old tag attached with Koontz, Portland, OR. on it.
Wooly chaps became popular in the late 1800's and remain highly collectible to this day. Originally they were designed to protect cowboys who worked in colder wetter regions. However, because of their look, they were also popular with Wild West Show performers. Today they are highly sought after by Western American collectors.
