been looking at black goat suede for a good while now, not going for any stitching, just going to see if i can pull it, managed it in the past with a large motocross seat and will use the staple gun if i still have it on the bottom

Used to have a pair of flares made from the same stuff in my Emerson Lake and Palmer phase. Terrible static though and once the ass had worn down a bit you could see my Y's
