Leather chaps
Leather chaps is a tier 5 free-to-play item worn in the legs slot for Ranged, with a high alchemy value of 12 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Leather chaps is to buy it: Lowe's Archery Emporium in Varrock sells it for 20 coins, and 5 other shops stock it too.

Ironman verdict
2 monsters drop it, and the best one is also the easiest: Lumpnose (level 7), at 1/8 (about one every 8 kills). You can also make it yourself: it takes 1 Crafting and gives 27 Crafting XP, using Leather. Other sources include New Varrock guard captain and Zombie (New Varrock). Making ten takes 10 × Leather and gives 270 Crafting XP. One recipe uses Leather chaps: Studded chaps. It is worn in the leg slot at tier 5 as ranged gear; compare it with every other piece on the Legs list. Leather chaps is available on free-to-play worlds too. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 12 coins, which is 8 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
