Mouton Collar on Black Leather - dark Brown or Black?

[jpk_NJ]

Any opinions on how a dark brown mouton would go with a black leather jacket? Photos? Or just play safe and stick to black on black?

Here is a Lost Worlds combination. I like it very much, too big to keep.

Neither, I think a mouton collar looks tacky. But that's just my opinion.

I'd actually go with light brown. It makes for a nice contrast. There's a member here who posted his black Highwayman with a light brown collar-looked nice.

I prefer Rust colored mouton myself. I've that color on my Thunderbay and I think it's bad as hell.

This collar is not original.

Agreed. I'm not really a fan of mixing brown and black myself - I'd stick with black on black instead. The rust mouton that aero has, however, really looks sharp against black to my eye. It's probably the combo I'll go with for the Thunder Bay I hope to order in later 2015...

Rust here too

Any photos of black/black collar halfbelts? Don't think I can pull off the rust.

I have an Aero Hercules (the older model, not the recently introduced one) in brown CXL horsehide ... the lining is black moleskin. It is amazingly good looking.

I'm hoping to pick one of these up in time for next Winter. Funnily enough, not long before Ken unveiled the Thunder Bay, I was kicking around the nition of a black shearling. I toyed with the idea of one of those Schott B3alikes in black, before developing the notion of a Highwayman with shearling lining and a mouton collar. Really not far off what the Thunder Bay actually is...

I bought it's cousin on sale last Spring... Been wearing it around the house. Can't wait for Winter and some real cold to test her out.

Thanks for the visuals. Confirms I'm a boring black on black guy.
