Full-Length Chaps — Kenyan Cow Suede
The Full-Length Chaps are handcrafted from thick Kenyan cow suede — a material chosen for its strength, durability, and ability to soften and shape with wear.
Cut in a full-length silhouette, the chaps follow the leg while allowing for movement, creating a structured yet fluid expression. Over time, the suede adapts to the body, becoming more supple and uniquely formed.
A braided leather panel runs along the outer leg, concealing a brass zip beneath — combining function with a refined, crafted detail.
All hardware, including buckles and buttons, is handmade from upcycled brass, cast by artisans in Kibera, Nairobi. Each element carries its own subtle variation, adding depth and authenticity to the piece.
Designed for life in motion, the chaps offer protection when riding through the African plains — shielding from thorns and sharp elements while maintaining comfort and ease.
A garment rooted in function and craftsmanship — made to endure, evolve, and be lived in.

Dry Clean Only.
Brush Regularly, use a suede brush to keep the jacket looking fresh. Gently brush in one direction to remove dust and restore the nap (the soft texture of the suede). Protect from water, our goat suede is sensitive to moisture. If you get caught in the rain, let the jacket air dry naturally, never use direct heat. Consider using a suede protector spray to help guard against water stains. Store with care, keep your suede piece in a cool, dry place. Use a padded hanger to maintain its shape and avoid plastic covers that can trap moisture. Handle stains promptly, for small stains, use a clean, dry cloth to blot (not rub) the area. If in doubt, take it to a professional cleaner. By following these tips, your VAST suede piece will remain a timeless addition to your wardrobe.
