Aging of The Real McCoy's Deep black (black core) model.

[Torvic]

Hello, I haven't found a thread related to this topic, so I decided to open one.

I have been able to see many cases of RMC tea core aging, but none of the Deep black model, black core 031, browsing the web I have found photos of a fairly worn j100 and as you can see in the photos it fades towards a olive green colour, I thought this model always stayed black but in the photos you can see that color change.

Any member with experience of aging this model, who can illustrate with some photos and knowledge?

Which model do you prefer, the deep black 031 or the tea core 030?

Greetings and happy day to all.

Rainbow Country definitely has some nice horsehides.

Western dealers can consider custom ordering the Hercules with a plain back design, or the half belt one (Santa Clara). RC's Asia dealers is doing this already. Let me see if I can find a photo.

I only got this jacket one a year ago used, and in this condition already. I don't know how old this jacket is or how much it was used by the previous owner. Aside from fading, great overall condition, no scratch, no leather smell either. I love this jacket lol
