1) patent vs regular leather
do you like the feel of patent?
do you need something that is super easy to take care of and clean? due to kids, work situation, etc.

2) color
I think chocolate goes with more, but it depends on your wardrobe.

They are so different, I would keep both. Especially for the outlet price!

Thanks. I have been trying to keep up with the news, but we don't get a lot of detailed info here, especially not in English. I presume the Iranian students would say something if anything happened. Yesterday, I asked my office mate about the Ayatollah because I am wondering what happens to him if he backs Ahmadinejad and the people don't follow him. He figures we should know in about a week - if the Ayatollah has not changed his mind, then he may be out of power and the whole government system may change... I always wonder if that makes things better or worse. After all, that is how the Ayatollah was put in power to begin with.

Sorry for another political rant, but I don't find many Americans to discuss this with, but I like to get my thoughts out.

1) I do like the feel of both leathers. I'm still in school so I need something durable but it seems both the patent green and the (regular leather) chocolate would work.
2) I wear a lot of navy blue and white, so the green would be a nice pop of color, but the brown would go with that and everything else.

I think I've just convinced myself, I'm going to get both. (already got the green at the outlet, now I just have to find the chocolate)

Call all the ones you will pass, give them the item number, and put it on hold (or charge-hold if they don't do holds). They you won't have to worry about finding one and maybe enjoy your trip and outlet browsing a little more.

ETA: If you call and they have one now, you will have to do charge hold because regular holds are only 48 hrs.

I'm going to check my usual outlet on Thursday because they said that they would be getting them in, but if they don't get them, I'll call around. Thanks for the tip :)

Congrats! Our 21st anniversary is in August ~ I was another 1988 bride. We will probably celebrate much as you are, although last year the ILs took the boys for 5 nights and we went away by ourselves!
