You just sold me on this bag in this color! It does fit your frame perfectly! I'm a little taller and thicker than you are and after seeing your post, I'm really thinking this is the size for me so thanks for being an enabler!Frustrating! I have been patiently waiting for the eggplant saddle to arrive at Jax. All 4 had already been snapped up at JAX! And no backorder available either.
I was able to try on a saddle 38 in Fog. For reference I am 5'7 (5'8 in boots) and plus size (size 18-20). I really like it size wise on my frame, but think the flap may get a little cumbersome when used as a everyday bag for grab and go. I'm on the fence about getting this vs the large saddle, but I really don't see the need for another neutral in my collection as of now.
Sorry for the poor lighting!

Now you have made me reconsider getting the 35 - never thought about doubling the strap!!!!Frustrating! I have been patiently waiting for the eggplant saddle to arrive at Jax. All 4 had already been snapped up at JAX! And no backorder available either.

So I just spent about 30 minutes on the phone with Jax and after speaking with 2 different reps, 1 was a supervisor, I was told, with absolute certainty that there is no Fog/Bordeaux color combo. The Fog is only available with the Adobe trim in the 23 and the 'standard' and the Cornflower trim in the 38.Haha..thanks I do what I can!
I'm in North Carolina
Yes I had to double check when I was there to make sure this wasn't the regular saddle as well. My SA looked it up by the specific UPC code (not style #) to be sure. But this is the Saddle 38 messenger ($695) in Fog with the Bordeaux trim. A customer ordered it a week ago but found it too big for her. It's not available on the website yet but can be ordered through JAX if there is stock.

Is it possible your SA was mistaken? I keep looking at that bag on you and comparing it with the standard and the 38 on the website and to me, it sooooo looks like the standard.
Another thing I've noticed, the strap length on the 38 is listed at 19" and the length on the standard is 21". You're wearing the strap doubled in the pic so at the most, the drop would be a max of 8 1/2" but the bag looks like it's sitting comfortably under your arm and not up in your armpit! On the standard, the drop doubled would be 9 1/2" which would give a more comfortable fit.
I'm trying to avoid having to order both bags only to return 1 but it looks like I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and order 2 but I don't want the cornflower trim! OY!!
What is a saddle 35??
Do you know where I can find info on this bag? There's nothing on the website.
