re; assless chaps. The “”difference”” between “chaps” and “assless chaps” is ignorance and jeans, in that order. usually slicks have never seen chaps and go ‘hurhurhur assless chaps’ like there’s an alternative, but sometimes chaps are assless because the wearer has chosen not to put on jeans beneath them.

I don’t think most people know what chaps actually are. I’ve described them as “leg armor for cowboys”. They’re crotchless, too, and made of leather because it’s practical and tough, not ‘cause it’s sexy. You don’t say “assless apron” to refer to a standard apron, which is only “assless” if you are naked underneath protective clothing.
