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.
