Armittas

Lisa has been kinda busy here the last couple months. She just finished a pair of Armittas, that are going to Germany. I got her to model them for me. They are kinda plain, but have LONG fringe. I think they start at 12 inches and go from there.

I never thought I wanted a pair of them, but these sure got my attention!!

Very nice! I'd love to have the know-how to make gear like that! I might have to try to fashion me up something out of a steer hide someday. I know making my own would be the only way I'll ever swing a reata.

To be truthful- I'd never heard of Armittas ... Altho that's not surprising as until about 30 years ago when the "buckaroo" craze went national - I'd never heard of or seen any chinks... This country up here was much more chap country- be it batwings, shotguns, woolies or whatever...

But they sure are pretty...

Originally, they were made just as plain as they could be. Just a calf or sheep hide, folded over a string. And the legs were just tied with a string around the thigh. Anyway, that is what I was told, when we were researching them.

You Texas boys and your pockets... They don't put pockets in Armittas, besides, with all that fringe, it would take you a month to find it.
