( chaparreras [t∫aparéras] < chaparro [see above] plus the Spanish suffix -era 'utensil'; the preferred pronunciation in English is [Jaéps]; this pronunciation was probably influenced by the Spanish spoken along the border, where speakers often pronounce the digraph {ch} as [ J] or {sh})Wyoming: 1884 (chaps); DARE: 1887 ( chaparajos); Texas: 1892 ( chaparreras). Leather leggings worn by cowboys over regular trousers to protect their legs from brush or chaparral. They are generally made from the hides of goat, sheep, calves, bulls, and deer, but they can be made from any type of leather. They also come in many lengths and varieties, ranging from simple and practical ones to highly decorated ones with silver ornaments and animal hair left on the outside. Spanish sources reference chaparreras, but only Cobos references chaparejos (he says the word is a blend of chaparro 'shrub' and aparejo 'gear' and refers to leather leggings or chaps). However, the DARE suggests that chaparejos may be a blend of chaparreras and aparejo. The DRAE defines chaparreras as a type of tanned leather breeches used in Mexico. Santamaría adds that they are a type of pants without a seat consisting of two separate coverings for the legs that are attached to the belt by straps. They are often made of goatskin with the hair left on, and as such are also known as chivarras. They are worn over the pants and serve as a protection against rain and mud. They may also be made of puma or jaguar skin, chamois, or canvas. Islas adds that they are often open along the seams and are fastened to the legs with buckles.Alternate forms: chaparajos, chaparejos, chapareras, chapareros, chaparraros, chaparras, chaparreros, chaparro, chaparros, chaperajos, chapparejos, schapps, schaps, shaps.Clark: 1930s. A variety of chaps with short, wide leggings. Also known as buzzard wings. -
3 armas
(Sp. model spelled same [ármas] < Latin arma, '(pieces of) armor, shield')Clark: 1930s. Large leather flaps attached to the saddle to protect the rider's legs against brush and thorns. Watts indicates that they were a precursor to more modern chaps. The DM defines armas de agua/ de pelo as two large pieces of goat hide, with the hair left on, that were attached to a saddle or to the belt of a rider to cover his legs and feet and protect them from water. Santamaría also notes that armas were sometimes used as mats for sleeping. Some were richly decorated. He also mentions that they have been substituted more recently by chaps or chaparreras, which do not protect the feet and cannot be used for sleeping. A similar definition can be found in the VCN, where armas de agua or armas de pelo are leather flaps that protect a rider's legs and the saddle from rain. Armas de pecho are defined as similar devices used mainly by vaqueros in Jalisco, Mexico, to defend themselves against rain and rugged terrain.
