Vicenza Russet....Staining Question

[Lord LALA]

I am about to pull the trigger on a Vicenza 30 Halfbelt. I already have a dark seal Boardracer, so I’m thinking of going with russet for the Halfbelt.

My concern is that russet, being a lighter color, would be prone to showing the inevitable skin oil stain at the collar.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks in advance for your comments!

It depends on the leather ( i haven't had Vicenza in russet) but yes I have seen/caused the darkend inside collar stain on lighter colored leather jackets..
Not much you can do about it.. part of the patina (wabi-sabi)

The inside collar stain is one reason I am considering going for a two-tone jacket with darker collar to contrast whenever I buy a lighter colour leather jacket.
