I wasn't talking about jackets, or clothing . I was talking about seats and bags on motorcycles. Like these:








YUCK!!!!!

 

 

My wife's Ivory cream/ willow green Indian Vintage with brown seat and bags is a beautiful sight in a sea of black sameness. My bike is all black and it's pretty dang bland.

 

As for the earlier comments? That is my Schott Perfecto. As you can see it's well worn and hardly a fashion piece.

I happen to like brown seats and saddlebags. If I had another red Sporty and had it setup the way I wanted functionally, I'd seriously think of getting a brown seat and bags. I like the look.

That is nasty , but I wouldn't even call that brown leather . It Looks like it's just the natural color . I would fix that fast with 4 or 5 cans of brown shoe polish or wood stain .

 

Brown leather shows stains big time, so the brown leather was probably dyed black to hide the stains of grease, oil, and sweat, thus the tradition of black leather on Harley seats, bags, and jackets. If you are into fashion, black goes with any color schemes. I would like to have a seat covered with thick brown saddle leather, but it wouldn't go with burgundy and cream paint.

 

I like my brown seat and bags.

 

BTW, Fonzie wore a BROWN leather jacket!

 

We work with leather and I must say that Black leather is nice to work with because it is well Black .. With that said Brown is as most of you know many different shades and can be hard to match especially on the internet ..That being said we are able to match the Brown on the New and Old Indians ..

 

Pics?
