Depends a lot on your hair colour, complexion and what you usually wear.

Both are stylish, and will always be stylish. The fit, and the style of the jacket are the most important though - you can go classic, conservative 3-button blazer, or "rebel" motorcycle style.

Whatever you do though, don't go for the bomber style with the elastic waistband like below:

I personally don't care for leather jackets, but whatever floats your boat.

How about you hey a reversible black & half brown leather jacket.
This way you can't lose, or you could get it dyed straight down the middle.
I don't know if you can still get brown leather dye or paint.

A leather jacket is not a leather jacket, unless it's black IMHO, unless you are getting suede leather.

Brown is the new black.
I've been saying that for a while now. Black is still cool though.

Danier stores are everywhere (esp. in Vancouver I'm sure), and online.

black jackets are more aggressive imo. tan leather is more chil, relaxing, a night out. black looks like a color that has a goal, an objective.

anyways, both have their advantages. depends on what you wearing underneath, 1 or hte other may look better.

Does that make black the old brown? :lol:
Anyway, black is black and brown is brown. Brown isn't black.

Style/Cut>Colour, but Im leaning more towards a dark brown over black, but then it depends on the style, colour and the leather.
