Default Source for distressed leather saddlebags?

My brother and I both own CrossBones Softtails - mine is vivid black with tan/brown pinstripping. I think that distressed brown leather bags would look awesome on my machine - and would compliment the pinstripping - kind of an old west look. A distressed saddle would be very nice too, but one thing at a time.

I noticed HD is making distressed bags for a Dyna model - and they are apparently not compatible with Softails. Does anyone know of any sources of distressed brown leather bags available that would fit my bike? HD may make them one day, but you never know.

Roadking and Ultra bags are not compatible with softails either but how many of us are running with them???? You can make anything work if you put some thought to it. To me that is part of the fun...

If you are not into working the HD ones take a look at the link above. They are pretty cool. Below is a thumbnail.
