Corbin Smooth Leather Options
Here's the scoop... we've tried a lot of materials for our motorcycle seats and found that quality leather can't be beat. Your seat lives in a rough environment and is subject to lots of abuse. Leather provides the perfect combination of durability and comfort. But beware, not all leathers are alike, some have a rubberized coating to hide blemishes and try to make the hide appear uniform. Coated leathers don't breath like they should... That's why we use natural hides, the real cowboy stuff!

These natural hides have unique markings that we call character. Real cowhide has imperfections and scars, that's just the way cows are. When we make your saddle's cover, we work around big stuff like bullet holes, but it is likely you will notice some small marks in the leather. These marks aren't flaws, they're a distinguishing characteristic of a good quality hide. Remember too that leather is organic and will mature into its own unique color and texture from use, sun, rain and time. Real leather sometimes chafes a little or wrinkles just like your leather jacket. That is the general nature of un-plasticized leather. Maturing is natural and will enhance the custom qualities of your Corbin saddle.

In our seat designs, we place leather wherever it contacts your body because that's where you need it. In some of our designs we also include a stitch pattern. The stitching will actually help the leather to last longer because of the layer of soft foam we use under the cover to puff up the stitching. This soft foam provides a resilient backing for the leather which takes some of the stress away from the hide. It also creates a very nice, soft "Touch" to your seat.

Last, but not least... Leather will break in along with the foam shape and give you a personalized fit. Just like the thirty year old easy chair that has a permanent impression of your cheeks, Corbin's foam and leather cover will adapt to your body over time. Just condition it regularly with a quality leather conditioner like our Saddle Cream. This will help to keep it supple and water resistant...It will be your close friend for years to come.
