I have two and they aren't adjustable (I specifically searched for the non-adjustable straps). I have seen some with adjustable straps, I just don't know what year they changed. My black one is from '95 and I think my BT is the same year.

Thank you. Black is so easy to rehab. Stains are never a concern. I can spill wine on this bag and not worry about a permanent stain or fighting to get it out.
Oh no, have they stopped doing this? I got a brass one earlier this year, and have since picked up two thrifted bags that need hangtags.
I’m posting some photos after one application of blackrocks approx. 24 hours ago and a quick buff.. the lighting is way different but I think the bottom def looks a lot better.

Hi all. Wanting to get some thoughts on colors / advice on dunking lighter colors ... I have a Devon bag that I think is Stone , the creed stamp has xxx-xxxx format so thinking Stone based on when it’s from
My pocket purse is A9C ... so I think Bone maybe?
I handcleaned the Devon and for some reason am afraid to dunk!
The pocket is smashed and could use a bath just for the reshaping benefits alone... anyone have any opinions on what colors I think these are / tips for soaking a bone bag?
I agree with you on the colors, Stone and Bone.
I've never dunked a lighter color like those two, but others have...maybe they'll chime in.
I am new to this rehabbing business but did have to dunk a bone(?) Devon a few months ago. My bag had significant verdigris so I had to clean that out pretty thoroughly before dunking or it likely would have stained the rest of the bag. So I would say that if your bag is in decent condition to begin with then there should be no problem with dunking... just make sure to use clear soap.
Also, my bag had some interior stains so I used a white vinegar and baking powder paste to try to remove them. I left the paste on overnight, which sort of removed the stain but darkened up the leather some more!
ETA: I’m no expert at this so please wait for others who have more experience to chime in. I just wanted to share my experience.
I have dunked several vintage bone bags and have never had a problem. They can look a little sad while wet but dry without any issues.
See the link below for the Men's Canvas Bleecker City Field Bag 70894 that I found at Goodwill yesterday for $10. The bag is intact but very dirty and I know that I will be doing a lot of scrubbing, and it may be making a trip through the washer; but the thick, white, webbed strap may be impossible to clean. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for cleaning this poor bag, thanks!

So @houseof999 sent a link for a sad little yellow regina. I had to jump all over it because I'm having a yellow moment right now, and desperately wanted a yellow regina. I'm super happy with this rehab and thankful for house999 and all you guys, for looking out for each other.
