ARCHIVE- The LG6 Leather Chaps

The classic The London Leatherman style has a strong Western cowboy influence and leather chaps play right into this look.

The LG6 Chaps are the most identifiable as being by The London Leatherman with their rounded waist detail, leather lacing and Lightning zips. They were of course popular on the fetish and leatherman scenes, were popular with motorcyclists for practical reasons but also had their 'in-fashion' moment with rock and pop stars of the 1980s.

Upon co-founding the band The Creatures with Siouxsie Sioux, Budgie (Peter Clarke) regularly wore his LG6 Chaps for photo sessions with a sheer LN6 Tshirt in white, circa 1983.
