Pics!!! I wanna see how it should fit!
I'm literally in my pyjamas with the vest on... I'm not sure TFL is ready for these pics!
I will take pics this week when we have a day of sun, promise.

Not much. Perhaps an average of 6-12 times a year. I take good care of my leather jackets and coats. My 2 new (5 year old) HH Test (Bk and Br) I never wore; my 3 HH Suburban (Bk, Br and Green) I almost never wear. And I also have a new Courier Pea coat in Bk Goat which I only wore once or twice. What can I say? Perhaps I have too many jackets. I end up always wearing the same clothes. I have a BK HH peacoat and a dark brown HH car coat (Rebelstoke) which I wear a lot. The rest of the time I wear my military coats and jackets. You could say that I am more of a collector than a wearer. I don't know if that makes sense. My wife and friends say I'm crazy and urge me to wear my stuff. Oh, did I forget to mention that another LW HH jacket is on the way!@Logician That's an armor! I can hardly believe it's at least 15 years old...it looks new. How much have you worn it?

A 4.0 + oz BK HH custom Leathertogs A with all the bells and whistles. But if you tell my wife, I will deny it tooth and nail.Which one?
This is how colors look under daylight. The goathide (A2) is a bit lighter(redish) brown shade than the 2 hh jackets on the right.Hello Cornelius
Sorry for the late reply.
I have 3 russet LW (J23 early 2000s, A2 goat around 2010, B-2 of 2015). None of them has that red shade. The color is brown on each of them. There are slight variations - the later ones are more matte and a bit darker(afair). The B-2 looks like the one of Carlos (darker matte brown). The J23 looks more glossy, possible a lighter shade of brown. As texture, it feels also more "coated". I think around 2015 LW changed the processing of their leather - it is less coated, creases/grains easier than the old one- which personally I don't like.
I'll try this wend to try a proper pic(digital RAW then adjust the white balance) with them 3 to show the differences.

For color reference see the white paper.
Thanks! Yes J23 is iconic, it has something that sets it apart. I have also the Trojan jacket (that screams vintage and American) but I like the J23 more. Maybe it's smth subjective.All are beautiful, but that J23 is out of this world. I’ve been pondering my next LW build and this made me pause a bit.
