I have a GW Monarch thats the same color as the Ventura, I wonder if its from the same
group of hides?

Your jacket is a light russet and the Ventura is a red russet. Two totally different hides. But the Monarch looks great!!!!

Sorry Paulgt3, I was asking 767fo if it was the same beautiful discontinued hide as the 44 Ventura he sold last Fall...

There we go!!!...
May I ask how long you've worn it for?
Beautiful!!!!
Is it reddish/ purplish? or does it turn brown/black?
Thanks for showing.

The hide color is actually dark seal with red undertones. Some panels show a little more red than others. The jacket is a little over two years old now. Here is a more realistic pic of the hide.

Is that the same red russet that you sold a few months back? An amazing color...

The Ventura that I sold recently had more red in it. The Ventura on this thread is a little more brown in color. John hasn't had that shade of russet for a few years now. It sure is a beautiful hide.

Yes, it was described as Russet brown, vegetable-tanned, aniline finished front quarter horsehide. A Japanese hide I believe - its a stunner, just a bit too snug a fit on me.

I think your "russet brown" is very close to the "red brown" shinki horsehide on my Rainbow Country jacket. Perhaps it's a bit different, but that is as close a shade to my red brown as I've seen from GW. Love that color, love your jacket!
