Does the stretchy side go in front with half chaps?
This depends on how the half chaps are shaped and if they have a zipper. If they have a zipper, then align that properly (usually with the outside of the calf) and see where the stretch panel would be located. In most brands of half chap the panel will sit to the outside or rear of the leg. If in doubt call the manufacturer or look at their website for more details.
