Here's a preview of a custom Brat Seat I've completed out of a leather jacket, per the customer's request. This is a brat style seat for a 1971 CB350. Let me know what you think.

Is that a functional pocket there or just for looks? Either way that's the best jacket to seat repurposing I have seen yet.

Looks great! Any pictures with it on the bike?

That is a functional pocket...And no that's the only pic I have of the bike.

that pocket is an awesome idea for the reg and insurance haha

 

[wahvtec]

very cool. I think the pockets a good touch

I figured the pocket added character and style, and if I was gonna use it I might as well make it functional...Reg, Ins, Beer money, ID, or whatever you'd like it to be.
I also used the bottom band of the jacket with its adjusters as the boxing of the seat...On the bike, these will be more apparent.

That's awesome man!!!

That looks sweet! Quick question, what did you use for the padding/cushioning in the seat?

Serizawa Tamao - I use what is called a "Topper Pad". Its a fairly dense 1" thick piece that is commonly used in furniture upholstery. I stack qty 2 of them together to reach the height I was after. There's also a few lil tricks to add cush to it so its not too dense, but this will be the base for you to build off of.

Very nice. I really dig the pocket idea. I wish I had thought of that.

I just finished mine. Made it out of my 20 y/o riding jacket. Pretty happy with my first try at upholstery.

Michael - Nice job for your first time upholstering a seat.

All these ideas and pictures of custom seats really have my brain going off!

I just got 3 skateboard decks to try to use for my seat pan.
