I'm with you, Angie!  Hopefully some chaps maker will realize that legs 
come in short/tall/skinny/not skinny and offer enough variations for 
every combination.

I have to take every new pair to the shoe shop and get the guy to cut them off below the first velcro to get them the correct height. If they have a zipper I can't do that. My present pair has a hole worn in them and I've got to get new ones. It's a pain to have to pay $10 to get them cut down and throw away extra leather. Wish they'd save theirselves some leather and offer "short" instead of "small".
