Ariat Unisex Concord Chap - Black Smooth
Ariat Unisex Concord Chap - Black Smooth
The Ariat Unisex Concord Chap – Smooth Black
The Ariat Concord half chap is made from supple, unlined full-grain leather with a full length elasticised panel ensuring a close fit.
Crafted to ensure a sleek profile, the high Spanish cut topline adds an elegant look with the suede inner panel creating a comfortable feel for the wearer.
Featuring a full-length YKK® back zipper and a stretch skirt over the instep, the Concord half chap is unisex and perfect for everyday wear around the yard.
The Ariat Concord chap is the most popular half chap in the extensive Ariat range. It is available in both Light Brown and Smooth Black and is designed to be worn with the Ariat Heritage IV Zip Paddock Boot for a seamless finish and perfect colour match. However, if you are looking for a half chap to go with your existing short boots don’t panic as thanks to the stretch skirt over the instep, the Concord chap should be able to accommodate most styles of jodhpur boot snuggly. Another reason the Ariat Concord chap has been so successful is thanks to the extensive sizing options you can get that perfect customised fit, read on for help regarding which size is best for you.
The Ariat Concord chap is an excellent solution for those needing a practical and affordable alternative to a long boot. Like all half chaps, the Concord chap is designed to be worn with a short boot and offers protection for your lower leg while eliminating painful chaffing which can be caused by the stirrup leathers. The Ariat Concord chaps are worn by slipping your foot into the elastic stirrup at the bottom of the chap; the elastic stirrup should settle in front of the heel of your boot with the suede on the inside and the leather on the outside of your leg. The Concord chaps are then secured by the full-length YKK zip at the rear which runs from your heel to the back of the knee.
The suede panel on the inside of the Concord chap offers some extra grip, ideal when riding young or fresh horses! The soft suede is comfortable against the leg and is by no means bulky, ensuring you can maintain good contact at all times. The Ariat Concord chap is crafted from unlined full-grain leather which hugs the contours of the leg, giving a sleek second-skin profile, the high cut Spanish topline helps to create the look of long and elegant legs. It is the image we are so used to seeing in both the Dressage arena and Showing ring. The Concord chap is secured at the rear with a full-length robust YKK zip, the discreet rear zip adds to the appeal of the Concord chap being used in competition. The back of the chaps has a full-length elasticated panel which allows enough stretch to ensure a close fit. The elasticated panel is also ideal for when the cold weather arrives, and you may wish to put a heavier weight of breech on to stay warm. There is a plastic ‘zip stay’ neatly hidden below the rear popper when securing the chaps the zip pull can be guided through the zip stay to keep the zip in place at all times allowing you to get on with your daily routine.
The Ariat Concord chap is a perfect choice for those looking for a comfortable chap for daily use but one that is also smart enough for competition use. The soft, supple leather of the Concord chap means that there is no ‘wearing in’ period and they can be worn in comfort from the first use.
Choosing what size -
As you will see, the Ariat Concord chap comes in a dazzling array of sizes, and it is essential to pick the right one which will ensure you get the best fit, therefore, the best experience. Here is a quick guide to help you but should you have any questions at all please call our shop on 01292 266267, we are open daily from 9.30 am – 5.30 pm and always happy to advise.

You can match your calf and height measurements to the Ariat Half Chap Sizing Chart which is on our Tips and Fittings page.
FAQs
How Should my shoes fit?
In terms of fit, if your shoes are leather or suede you ideally want them to be snug width-wise as the material will stretch and mould to the shape of your foot ensuring a supportive, comfortable fit. In terms of length, you do not want the shoes to be too short as they will not stretch lengthwise, you should have room to wiggle your toes. If your boot is rubber or steel toe, then the boots should not feel overly snug as the material will not stretch.
