I have short legs, and I thought I was going to have to get custom half-chaps if I ever wanted any to really fit me right. I have had the suede, Velcro-on kind but they can be annoying - if you don't get the Velcro on just right, it catches on everything, including lead ropes plus they can look messy. I finally decided that I wanted some, but before I ordered custom ones, I made one last attempt to find some. I found the Tredstep ones come in more sizes than I'd realized, including 14 and 15" heights. I saw them at a local tack store, and tried some on - the 15" height looked fine, but they didn't have my calf measurement. I came home, looked on ebay - and there was my size at a very good price. I rode him them all day today, and they were great. My recommendation would be to order an inch larger than your calf measurement. My calf measures 14" and the 15" ones are plenty snug, but not TOO tight. I expect they may stretch a little with wear. These are like the ones I got - $120 in the tack stores: http://tinyurl.com/2d4dl3
