The AWL is like iron, the piping is the achilles heel.
Yeah I agree.. the piping is like paper. But I have dunked the style you are talking about Whateve, with success.
Tried the vinegar, salt, and flour paste on the brass on my court bag this morning. It got most of the tarnish off. I'm calling that a success. I can't wait to show her off!
I am so aggravated with USPS!!! I have a Costa Rican Court due to me back on Wednesday, but according to their tracking, it was delayed and trapped at some unknown facility with no city or state, which I found odd. I've always been able to see what city and state a package is sitting in. After 5 whole business days, it finally updates that it is back at the original city of origin! So I call USPS customer service, but there is a 45+ min wait. I've been waiting in lines all day running errands, I am done. So I decide to email them instead. Fill out all the details, only to get a pop up that USPS US email site is temporarily down. It's like the universe doesn't want me to have this bag, I tell ya! So I finally contact the seller, because I want to see if it gets sent back to them being the return address. Waiting to see if they can find out more information. Holy Moses, this is a pain.
Thanks for letting me vent, this is my next rehab project and I was hoping to get it done this weekend....

I think something must be going on with USPS. I've been waiting for a Soft Satchel (purchased 4/10) original scheduled delivery of this past Tuesday (4/16)...three days late so far and no further updates. Sigh:

In Transit, Arriving Late
Your package will arrive later than expected, but is still on its way. It is currently in transit to the next facility.

I won a Devon the day after the Soft Satchel (4/11) and it's already arrived, been bathed, moisturized and used for two days now!
I get the best results by calling the local post office, which in this case would be the seller's. It is sometimes hard to find the local phone numbers but with some digging on Google you can find it.I am so aggravated with USPS!!!

I have one with the 'in transit, arriving late' code. It was supposed to arrive today. I'm seeing this more and more. I hope it doesn't hurt the sellers' stats.
This mahogany Willis was good enough I skipped the dunk and just conditioned her. It still made a difference. She is more chocolatey than my Manor and the after pics seem like she lost her subtle burgundy tones????

This is very similar to what I had on my updates! It sat at some unknown facility for 5 days with a status of arriving late, and now it is back in IL at the original facility it came from.
That's why I reached out to the seller, I don't know which facility they used and want to see if they can provide me more details. I am willing to do some leg work and find out what on earth is going on.
Something is going on, that's what mine said for about a week and then just before noon today it was updated with notification that it was back in IL. Was there some sort of major weather catastrophe I am unaware of in the midwest? Because what else could it possibly be I wonder?
Mahogany varied from year to year. I've seen some that had no burgundy in them, particularly in later years.
It is on its way, supposed to be here on Tuesday. I can't wait!! I hope it doesn't need a dunk but if it does I will post pics when it's all done. Thanks again for your help!!
Do you veteran rehabbers think dunking a 1995 Manor three times is too many dunks? When I dunked it the first time it had odd dark marks appear on the front of the bag and ink in one of the seams that I missed. So I dunked it again almost a week ago and the dark marks moved from the front of the bag to the back. Very strange. I want to dunk again but I'm worried I've put this bag through a lot of water exposure already. Any thoughts?
It has been an issue off and on lately in various locations. What has happened for me for some packages is that it suddenly gets to me all if the sudden as if some of the scans are missing, and it runs from 1 to 3 days late. Other packages come like normal.
