I always thought this bag was a shade off for BT, although I have generally referred to it as a Brit. It is an NYC bag and it was purchased a few years ago. After looking at your bags and a few Musette listings described as Tabac, I am now thinking this is Tabac! I think there may have been a limited offering once upon a time in a color described as Stone, which may be what I was thinking of as Putty! So I will do a little more digging, to be continued . . .
And yes, I will condition this bag already !

It’s been deep conditioned already. It gets regular use and for some reason, recently several of my bags are getting scratched by my nails, and this bag is over due anyway for a surface conditioning.
I have a few mahogany/ brown bags and this City does not strike me as mahagony.

Hmm yes I think this could be tabac too. I was also surprised to recently learn tabac is darker than BT. I think I have a few tabacs.
What is the color called in vintage Coach that is from 1977 or so, that is a shade of mustard, like a tan with a mustardy edge? I am cataloging my bags and I can't remember what to call it. I have a skinny kisslock and a stewardess in this color.
Yes! It does look a lot like that. Thank-you!
Here's a 1995 Murphy (to be dunked this week), and an early 90s, barely used Carlyle. Big difference in the interior color! I'm thinking they're both BT, but the Murphy may surprise me after the bath.
The first step is always a dunk. The water soaks into the leather and plumps it up. After it is partially dry, you can start conditioning. Make sure you have good conditioners on hand before you start the process.
That's the last conditioner you use. It is great as a scratch cover, but should be used as the last step of a rehab.
