Nathanzx10r Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Hello everyone! Working on the detail this morning, sourcing the proper parts for my build. After looking at the reference photos of the suede patches for the thighs/flap, I noticed that the color really looks closer to a dark graphite rather then black. I just want to make sure I pick the right color so I don't have to do it over, as I am going to source this part out to a local seamstress. The CRL's don't mention color specifically so I thought I would ask the pros. Reference pictures and Dark Graphite pig suede pictures for reference: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Hey dude, you want to get the black pig suede for your riding patches and butt flap. There are usually scraps available on eBay. Let me find a link for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an example of my OCD 😆 Thanks Chopper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had taken some photos of my suit in bright sunlight and they looked more dark gray than black, but black is what you want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pledford Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Also after you wear it for a while, wash it etc, it fades a little. Sent from my LM-V450 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
