Default Black or Brown

I was on vacation and saw a brown leather vest, very cool and different. So I bought it and thought that I don't see many if any bikers wearing brown. I try to be different. Anyone else out there wear leathers other than black?

I have a black vest too, but this brown vest I bought was kind of neat.

People tend to shy away from brown vests here in Texas. A local motorcycle enthusiast group kinda has the dibs on em.

The official color for my groups vest is blue. You will see many with a black one though as a Blue Leather vest is hard to come by.

I am sure those "groups" have certain types of patches on their backs. Mine is clean and don't intend to put anything on the back, but maybe I am naive.

Louisiana,Yeah, same group.
HTRAUD, The dominant enthusiast group in your neck of the woods doesnt wear brown. In fact it doesnt get along AT ALL with the other group that does. Ah, politics. When I lived in No Cal about 20 years ago the dominant group there wore long sleeved T's with flames on the sleeves, so nobody else did. Probably would have been alright to do so but nobody did. But hey, I'm just rambling.
