The "Ostrich Design Leather" is more than likely embossed leather made to look like Ostrich leather.
My Danny Gray seat has embossed leather made to look like alligator. Real alligator would have been $800 on top of the price of a base seat etc. and would have cost about $1200. No thanks, I'll go with the fake gater for $300 Alex..

Are you talking about the LaRosa bags? I don't much care for the brown color on the back of the leather...at least not with my bike. I would like them better if the leather was black all the way through.

Garage Leathers. i leave my bike in the rain, in the sun, ride every day unless there's salt or ice.

the bag is beat on but is holding up nicely over the past 2 years.

Highly recommended. made in the USA.

Kowan you were right Fox creek's swingarm bag is the same as Leather works minus the Indian head and cost almost $50 more. I'm sending it back. The 5" bag is not that much bigger than the 3" so I'll just keep my 3" Leather works bag.

Hopefully you don't get charged a restocking fee.
Shame FC isn't upfront about the bags origins. Of course people would just get them cheaper elsewhere then.

I got mine from http://www.sideroadcycles.com/index.html with a discount for being a HDForum member.
