Red Kap Patches and Mudflap

So, I am starting on the patches and mudflap. Still working on the pattern, but I am concerned that the patches and mudflap are the wrong color. When I bought the suede it was black but looking at the pictures they look gray. It also appears I may have tailor the Red Kap more.

Pictures are a hard read since they don't always give a representation of true color but they look a little too light to me. A little more reddish brown than black. Maybe you could dye them in black to darken them up a bit?

 

One idea I've seen other use is that they use snaps to attach the mudflap so they can remove it if they need to wash the suit.

Thanks Peter, When I bought it from JoAnn's it looked black but I agree it seems to be a different color. I like the idea of the snaps for the mudflap.

 

Somebody around here has a template for the riding patch. Take in mind the mudflap needs fit your build. Not to wide,short or too long. Maybe someone can pop in with it.

 

 

Thanks Tim, I do have the template. Looking more closely at the pictures I thing the real issue is the Red Kap. It is too baggy for me to see how the template is working. I think I am going to remove the mudflap and have it tailored before trying the patches.
