Could I get away calling this color russet?

ED.... EURAKA YOU HAVE FOUND IT... now everybody will want that color.

you have the original "BRITTISH TAN" look . :-). lol.

that is not a bad color, very professional looking.

and i do like what i saw on the screen that leather looks

to me like it has the firmness to give the bag support.

Thanks Luke,

My sister told me the other day that she didn't care for the black thread and thought that I should go with pheasant/straw colored thread. I have such a bag partially completed, but after this bag didn't sell, I went back to the browns. It seems like the leather in this bag is either a latigo, a veg retan, or bridle leather. It's thicker than what I usually use. I'll be relisting the bag soon on eBay.

I like the color of the bag, and if given the choice I would agree with your sister in the thread color. But black thread does not deter from the bag in my opinion.

Years from now, and I'm sure that bag will still be around, there is no telling what color that bag will appear to be with exposure to the elements, both human and natural.

When you re-list it, call it Texas Longhorn orange and see what happens!!

It looks like Saddle Tan to me. But then I always thought saddle tan looked like orange.
