Check out Xian Leather

Be warned though when see his work, you'll probably want a seat done as well.

Christian at Xian leather is a total professional. I've had the pleasure to meet him and see his work up close. It's great to have a quality leather designer/maker close by!

I used www.keithscustomseats.com for my tank bib. I wanted something unique, so he whipped me up one in elephant skin.
