Sigh! I am in such a dilemma... Thinking if i should get a 227 matte black reissue shw. I actually gave up the idea of getting it when i found a 227 navy blue reissue and was thinking of giving up my med navy blue reissue which is still unused. But the one and only one left has got a folded crease on the front top and i really can't accept it as it's too obvious. Was so excited initially but now upset. Luckily my med is still with me. Now i am thinking if i should get the black instead but i already owned one black caviar jumbo shw and a med matte black reissue in shw. Will it sound silly if i get another black reissue in 227 n shw? i don't own any 227 as all my reissues are med and my caviars in jumbo size. :thinking::thinking::thinking:
 
I honesty love the black reissue with gold hardware better, and it seems like if you do have your heart set on a black reissue, then that might be a better option for you (seeing as how all your other black bags have silver hardware).

I am a little confused though - does your navy reissue have a fold in the front or does the black reissue have that?

my med navy blue is excellent but the 227 navy blue which i supposed to get has got a folded crease at the top center front. and the bag base has got lots of crease wrinkles which i can kind of ignore since can't be seen. anyway, it's posted up for sale and i think it will be snapped up very fast.
 
What about geting a 227 reissue with gold HW?

i just got a 226 reissue in ghw so i don't think i want to get it in the same col hw unless the bag color is different and i just scored a matte black med reissue camera bag in ghw . anyway, thanks for your suggestion!

here's a pix of it. not only is there a folded crease, the alignments of the flap diamond stitches don't seemed good either.

OP, since you already have the exact combo in medium size, I'd vote against getting the 227 in the same color combo..if it was GHW, then that'd be a different story, ^_^
 
panda: i was contemplating on 226 and 227 in ghw and decided on 226 ghw. so i don't think i would get another 227 in ghw, just thinking if i should consider 227 in shw or just wait see if there are nicer colors.
