Yes, I saw that option and do recall that Canuck Panda commissioned/received a jacket in that hide. I think he posted an image of the back along with a few others. Thanks for your input.
As I replied to Mr. Proper - same here. Really nice hide although I'd be petrified to wear something so capable of picking up anything just by wearing it. The pale green slacks/trousers/pants/(shorts??) do look festive and complement the tone of the jacket.
The lighter shade does pick up a lot of dirt and marks very easily, even the copper buttons leave dark marks on the jacket. However, things do settle down with time. I find this shade of leather works really well with olive pants too.
It is a Special Jacket for me. The history always add to the character of a Jacket, gives a place in time. I do have a Sears bought in 1951, but this is the only jacket that has a reference to my birth year, 1952.

Like I always say, a fit body can make a cheap jacket look good, and it can make a quality jacket look amazing
