Is the top part getting softer? I mean around the top zipper part settles flat like it is supposed to be? When it is full, the top part seems to be flat easily. But when it is not full, the top part looks like an extention of the front part. That is what doesn't apple to me. I guess if the top part is softer, it might be flat easily.

I'm not good at explaining it. I'm not sure this makes sense to you.

It is softening up a bit, but it is still stiffer than regular Bal leather. I think it is thicker. But it is starting to be more flexible. I'm not sure how it will lie when it is more broken in, but I'm thinking it will fall more like the top of the day.

Thank you so much for your help, TMitch6542.

I think I will try it, when the new season colors are out.

I just received my Club yesterday. It seems like those 2 top panels near the main zipper are a little thicker. I'm totally happy with mine. I agree with you that it'll probably soften up and wear more like the Day. I hope the corners will not show premature wear.

I put Day vs Club pics in the Clubhouse thread.

Bought this yesterday in pourpre and Im very happy with it. I can wear it 2 ways, one is the more structured look (with the upper part flat down) and the other one, the more relaxed, slouchier way (with the upper part raised up).

Here r some pics:
Structured, boxier look:

and the more relaxed look:

This looks like a great style! Does anyone know which stores carry the club in anthracite or tempete?

Balenciaga Las Vegas had Anthracite earlier in the Season. Why don't you call them and see if they still have it.
