Leather steering wheel

[Krabby]

Hopefully I’ll get to see one in person before I need to place my order. Waiting is going to suck since we’re so far behind in NA but it will pay off hearing of other’s experiences and to see photos of their leather after a few months.

I'm more interested in feel/function than looks.

still talking about the car Tazzieman?

I really like the idea of the saddle leather and the patina that would develop. However, the more I look at the black and gray tones, I think the brown/reddish hues of the leather will seem out of place.

I don't think so.

I think you will really regret not having the steering wheel, hand brake lever and passenger grab handle all in saddle leather & all with a beautiful patina developed from the way YOU have used the car over many years

yep, that's one of the arguments you guys made some weeks back that led me changing my order to the saddle leather pack. I like the black but I think over time the saddle leather will 'age' much better and imo end up looking better than the black napa

I am 100 % with you.

Imagine a brown horse with a grey saddle. It doesn't really work does it?
The working part must be brown

Imagine a Donny Gray Grenadier with an Inky Black roof, Black & Gray leather interior and a brown steering wheel.

I hope you never wear a brown drizabone or brown boots on your IG travels. Or I'll tell mum!

Driz-a-bone is black
I don't wear boots I wear barefoot shoes
Hat is brown as no black kangaroos available.
Nail polish is black and lipstick is a nice shade of crimson
OOPs
too far

Grey is the colour of office equipment. So is tan , They could have gone with tan. It's nice and earthy, like my aftershave.
(who the fk wears aftershave?)
The standard SW won't last in my calloused hands.

Drinking red wine from a large coffee cup and quite clearly commenting on this forum.
Tomorrow I go on holidays until 12th December
then back until I go on holiday again from 23rd December until 9th January.
What a great time of the year it is

They will know it's too late to be drinking coffee and will suspect you are up to something!!

Imagine a Timber steering wheel and matching gear stick knob from the old classics...that is how I see the saddle leather treatment and hope to see it for quite a few many years...like the timber, it will age well I think...Happy motoring

Summer starts in two days so temperature warming up.
That also means water temperature is warming up
sunrise 4:30am and sunset 6:30pm
20 overnight to 35-40 degrees during the day.
perfect for the maintenance of a leather steering wheel
