Members RobDude30 Posted September 11, 2015 Members Report Posted September 11, 2015 I am in search of a source for oil tanned leather, 5/6 oz. or so, that will match the tan color on the new Indian Motorcycle. I've found a thread or two recommending Waterhouse leather and The Leather Guy, but would like to find the real deal if possible. Anyone know THE source for Indian Motorcycle leather? Quote
Members 25b Posted September 11, 2015 Members Report Posted September 11, 2015 How much leather are you willing to buy? Even if you do find out who makes the "real" leather Indian uses, they probably aren't going to sell you just one hide or less. Quote
Members Itch Posted September 12, 2015 Members Report Posted September 12, 2015 As we manufacture products for the aftermarket crowd for Harley and Indian I did locate the source for the Indian leather.. They will not sell as they have an exclusive contract with Polaris .We are currently working with a few tanneries to match the color and types of leather that we are looking for. Quote
Members RobDude30 Posted September 16, 2015 Author Members Report Posted September 16, 2015 Thanks Itch. I figured as much but thought I would ask. I've got a pretty close match on veg tan using a mix of dyes and will probably stick with that to make my prototypes. Quote
