Hello ladies, hoping you can help me out with this one, TIA
I got the small Twill Saddle Pouch, made in NYC. The leather one is style 9590 according to the Coach catalogs from the mid 80s.
I couldn't find any picture or reference to the twill style, but in this other picture of the Large Saddle style 9585, the twill version is 8595.
So.. could I assume the style for mine is 8590, or is that too much assuming, LOL

I would think so. That seems to be how they did it for several styles.

It's possible but there's no way to prove it without seeing it on a catalog page, and the only Twill listing in my files is the same one you're showing. Maybe someone else has another catalog with Twill items. There were one or two styles in either twill or spectator versions that didn't fit that numbering pattern.

The twill items I have catalog pictures for are:
8585 twill saddle pouch
8430 twill slim satchel large
8455 basic bag in twill

Thank you ladies for your input, very much appreciated.

I guess I will leave it as a "possible" 8590 but not able to confirm.

By George, I think I've got it!

From the big 96-97 Source Book - Style 4847, Envelope Wallet. The description fits even if Coach's photo doesn't give you a lot to go on. Bottle Green would have been the green shade.There's no mention on the page of any specific leather.

IMG_5551.JPG Good evening. I am having difficulty confirming several colors of my vintage NYC bags I have and am hoping someone can help. Is the front pre-Dinky and third Madison satchel tabac, and the second Basic bag and fourth Classic Hobo putty? So putty is more camel-yellow or tan rather than a dull dirty flat color I thought something called putty would be? Thanks so much.

Depending on the year of production, the dye lot, the effects of time, soil, and moisture, and different products that may have been used on the leather, both Putty and Tabac can vary quite a bit. Sometimes it helps to see the back side (the suede).

To my eye, Putty is a medium brownish-gray color, kind of a light-to-medium taupe.

Tabac looks like browned tobacco leaves, with sometimes a faint greenish tone, especially on the suede side.

I would agree that your Dinky is Tabac, and the Basic bag is Putty. The satchel seems too light for Tabac, but too brown for Putty. If I had to choose I would say Putty.

The Classic Hobo has me completely stumped.

It could be, although I don't know if Camel was an official color name at the time....or even what years the Classic Hobo was made.
Posting a photo done in natural light by the window, the earlier photo might have been affected by my yellow desk and lamp light. I'm going with the Madison satchel as also tabac, and putty for the Classic Hobo. I pulled the catalog (date unknown) ad off Pinterest, it gives Putty as a color option even though it does seem more a camel to me too Thanks all.

In that light, and with the Basic Bag next to it, the Madison definitely looks more Tabac than Putty to me now.
