I think they are... The black looks gorgeous, really inky and classy. I think the seal looks great too. He also has a couple of variations of high quality steer, and some sexy looking goat. I'm not big on black jackets, but this might be the one for me to go against the grain....the black version just looks so damn good....its a simple decision I guess, but one that I'm genuinly struggling with! I'm hopeless...

I know the feeling. I'm torn between the black and the dark seal too. But for me, black is such a classic and goes with everything. And it seems more in keeping with the original Buco.
I guess I'm just waiting to see some pics of protein's latest...
Looks fantastic doesn't it? Some seal leathers look almost black....I think this seal is pretty much ideal...

Oh I still have the Imperial. It's not going anywhere. ;-)
Yeah, buddy
Looking forward to hearing what you settle on
What about you Bret? Surely you must be hungry for one of these bad boys?
What sort of zipper pulls did you order? I see the diamond pulls, and normal zip things? I would be interested in seeing what it weighs too. I can't recall ever being told what weight the leather is?

Both were diamond pulls, the first talon brass, the second nickel waldes.
I never actually weighed them sorry

Mine is in the customs too. Seems like they were the same "batch". If Dave accidentally swapped packages, I'm keeping yours!

Yeah, the pictures you posted with brass zippers is probably mine - At least they're the same Dave sent me.
