I have a brown one but I don't wear it much on the bike. Love the look though. You just gotta make it the standard for you. If you go mixin and matchin with lots of black either on you or your bike, then the brown seems out of place.

I've worn brown bomber jackets for nearly 26 years. As far as I know you're the first person who gave a ****. Thank you for caring...I feel special.
