2020 Dark Saddle Leather - Kinda Ugly?

[Pingbling23]

We love the saddle too. It’s definitely darker then what most pictures make it look like.

Here's mine, special order waiting at the dealer for me to pick up. I was really on the fence choosing this - in fact, my 12 year old daughter made the decision for me. I'm anxious to see it in person. From my experience, pictures don't do the Wrangler justice - they always seem to look better in person.

When they announced the Dark Saddle, I was hoping it would be more of a dark brown, like most saddles I have seen. Audi has a nice brown leather.

I’m debating on dark saddle. None of the dealerships in my area have any physical swatches of the actual material. Do you have any additional interior pictures you could share? How are you liking the color?

Here are some pics of mine. It's a little darker in person. We do not regret getting it in the slightest.

Thank you so much! I’m sold

It looks so much better than the heritage tan. Wish I could change mine out.

Has anyone gotten a color matched shade for the dark saddle? Looking at the spiderweb tan, but thinking it’s too light (without having seen in person)??

On my Rubicon JL at one time I thought I wanted the dash to be leather cuz it was nice but after seeing that red I ordered the red – I love that red Nash and that's the only way you get the Rubicon anyway but that red – to me is definitely sporty-looking

Actually, you can get a dash other than red on a Rubi, if you have the saddle interior...I have it.

I agree....I ordered cloth then had 2-tone Katzkin leather installed by a local rep and it's my favorite upgrade to my jeep. Makes me smile every time I get in.

That looks super sharp. I love it.

Waiting for Sarge green and was excited for a dark brown leather. Not so sure how I am feeling about the "Dark Saddle Brown"..

Reminds me of a baseball glove or pumpkin pie, but I am going to have to see it in person..

Thoughts?

I would prefer a darker look it looks like butterscotch.....

I had the same response! I like the color but why are they not covering the armrest, dash and door armrest....that does not make any sense at all. Knowing that.... I would never order color if it doesn't follow through in the cabin. That just seems really odd, and you pay extra for that?

I feel like that would have been a bit to much if they did all that. I also feel the saddle leather adds a bit of professionalism to my JLUR. As much as I like to think I’ll be hitting the trails every weekend, the main use of mine is (or will be) getting to work which includes quite often taking clients out. I didn’t personally mind, but when test driving, my wife hated the red dash that came with the black leather and I have to agree the gray dash gives it a more finished look.

When I sold my first Jeep (YJ) after college, I had my favorite non-Jeep vehicle which was an Acura TL. It was black with camel leather. My favorite look. So I bought a black JLUR with the saddle leather and absolutely love it.

Frankly, I have dark saddle, I like it , and after having lived with it for some time now, I dont even notice that the armrest and other areas arent covered. Plus it matches my tan top

I like the two tone look. unless they changed pricing, it’s a no cost option if you get leather.

As some others have said, I'm not a huge fan of the black with red stitching/red dash, and think the mostly dark grey/black interior coupled with the "dark saddle" seats looks more "rugged" than the other. I too prefer the light stitching on the seats, steering wheel, tranny shifter boots.

Then again, I may be biased (have a down payment on a diesel with said interior).

Fun thread.
