Go Usher style, brown!. When I see black leather jackets I think they are either a biker or a gangsta.

black. i would never own a brown leather jacket. brown suede yes, brown leather, no.

black also will go with anything that you wear.
That's my 2cents worth

brown if you're older

black if you're young (under 28)

but I personally wouldn't wear black leather even if it was free.

Dark brown. It's classier. Black is way overplayed and should be left for the motorcyclists.

Heh! It's too funny that this thread is currently right beside the China's Dog and Cat Fur Trade thread. Here people are casually discussing their favourite colour of animal skin, over there they're throwing a conniption over animal skins. Go figure...

We're shallow. Dogs and cats are cute. Cows aren't.

how you gona base this on color alone? I can find terrible looking jackets in both colors, why don't you just find a style you like first.

Different cultures, different acceptance levels.

People here don't usually eat or wear domesticated animals. That's why people get upset about the dog and cat fur thing. Cows, chickens, pigs, etc are just mindless animals for slaughter in the minds of people here. Which is kind of true I guess.

You got to admit that it's a little weird to take the fur of domesticated animals. Especially such small animals.

EDIT: I agree with the previous poster. Leather jackets are won and lost on the fit and look. It could be black or brown but if it looks bad the colour won't matter. I'd go for black though because brown is sort of...bleh

Well...many, many years ago I really wanted a black leather jacket. My wife got me a brown one. :confused:

Flash forward to these days.. the jacket still exists...it has been beat up and abused for 10 or so years. The way it has worn and aged and what not has turned it into a great looking jacket. People comment on the "great jacket" whenever I wear it out.

I don't think a black leather jacket would ever look good all beat up and faded and worn. So... if you are just going to wear it for a year or two, go black; if you're going to keep it forever, go with the brown.
