From the Labonville website:


**IMPORTANT NOTICE***
Sizing - Chap length is not the same as your pants length. It is not measured by your Inseam. Chaps are sized by overall length. To calculate your overall length measure from your waist (where you would wear your belt) to the top of your foot or your instep.

I followed the directions and measured for the top of my belt to my instep to get 39". I purchased the "XL = 40" length and they are a perfect fit.
 
Bought a pair of Foresters because I could find them in town, the full wrap. Also bought a hardhat/hearing protection/mesh facemask combo, and a pair of gloves that protect both hands. $150. I know, I know. I'm just a bit miserly is all.
 
I have the Labonville full chaps. Remember to follow there instructions for the length. They are very nice people to deal with. As I recall they custom make each pair. I got the forest green, didn't see the point in looking like a pumpkin in the woods.
