Sized and cut like our chinks, a pair of our custom made Tully Hole
armitas offer the same protection as a pair of chinks, but with less weight. A fringed
apron in front connects the two sides. Side fringe is cut the same as on a pair of our
chinks. Normally there are two straps around each leg, each of which is secured with a
leather button. The slit that the button passes through is reinforced with a glued &
stitched rosette. Our armitas are normally secured around the waist with a border stamped
and fully slicked & lined belt, although they may also be secured with a pair of
latigo strings in true buckaroo fashion.
Meaning "body armor" in Spanish, a pair of custom built Tully Hole armitas
will give you years of dependable and comfortable service in the saddle as well as plenty
of protection from brush and the elements in general. Lighter in weight than a pair of
chinks, a pair of armitas is a nice alternative that still gives the wearer the protection
that they need. Forthese reasons the are still popular with the buckaroos of the Great
Basin country.
Like our chinks, Tully Hole armitas are custom built to your specifications. Normally
5/6 Oz. oiltan chap leather is used. They are available with either a belt or with a pair
of latigo strings, per your preference. Priced at $195. |
