Anyone have any recommendations for a dark brown/antique brown - non- brooks saddle? The selle san marco regal would work... sort of, but I don't think i'm all that keen on the suede texture. I dunno why they have a smooth leather for the white ones, but decided they needed suede for brown. It's also a little light.

my plan is to have a saddle and matching shellac'd cork tape. I like the looks of the antique brown brooks saddles but it seems those aren't easily had on ebay for cheap. (i'm certain those that are have already been scooped up by my fellow c&v'ers).

Suggestions? Doesn't have to be leather, but that's first on the list.
