\"\"<\/a>I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: leather doesn’t always have to be black.<\/p>\n

I received my delayed Christmas present from my partner: a short-sleeved grey leather shirt. It has black leather accents and white piping. It’s gorgeous! The top grain leather from which it is made is in the 9-10oz range, so it is thick and warm, but soft and flexible. Man, this is about the highest quality leather garment I have ever owned. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It was made custom for me by 665 Leather of North Hollywood, California<\/a>. They were having this “Black Friday sale”… and, ahem, hints were given and my beloved partner, the excellent listener, responded.<\/p>\n

It goes very well with my custom grey chaps and underchaps that I had made by Northbound Leather of Toronto, Canada, in 2004. The outfit is a bit “out there in leatherland” so I don’t think I will wear it as I go about my community business. But I will wear it when I ride my Harley… some day… when this darned cold snap abates and the snow and ice all goes away. Some day….<\/p>\n

Grrrrr! More pics of this shirt are on my website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Life is short: wear your leather!
