Debate Between Me and a Friend

You know the things motorcyclists and cowboys wear? Yeah.

Is it pronounced CH-aps or SH-aps?

Buttless chaps.

Chaps… (at least on the East coast)

I knew it! We live in AZ…he keeps saying “SH-aps!”
It’s so stupid…but I really needed some backup, I thought I was losing my fuckin’ mind.

Merriam-Webster online dictionary says it’s SH-aps.

e.g. Those chaps (CH) are wearing buttless chaps (SH).

The guy who owns the leather store locally here who does like 1000 commercials a month on radio and cable calls them CHaps. Thats as close to an expert opinion as I can get.
