Chaps are also popular in fetish fashion and the leather subculture, where they often are tightly fitted and worn without jeans or other garments layered beneath them other than a codpiece. They can be made of leather, patent leather, rubber, or vinyl and are worn for decoration serving no protective purpose. Worn in this manner, they are colloquially referred to as "assless" chaps, despite the redundancy of the term(all chaps are "assless"; chaps with a seat would be called trousers). More often, this style of chaps are referred to as "bar" chaps.

........ does the second gentleman have an assless chaps tan?
Or are those crotchless leggings with a batman utility belt holding them up.

Those may well be jodhpurs, if I am not mistaken.
Incidentally, are not all chaps inherently assless?
With the exception of these three chaps shown here, I mean. Lots of ass here.

Potentially yes.

Vindication!
