I am starting to question whether this classic hobo is tabac or BT.. thoughts?View attachment 5016898
Looks more like British tan to me. I found these catalog colors online that show both tabac and British tan. Do not know what years these came from but thought they might help.

Is it me, or is this giving off some serious rust vibes?

ETA: Listing is not mine

Lol as someone who bought a red bag, hoping it was rust, I have no confidence in my ability to make that call!!

I get a BT vibe. I bought a distressed City I thought was BT. With conditioning and after comparing with other BT I have from the same time frame, I see it is Tabac, as it lacks the subtle golden? Orange-y? hue the BT has that’s makes it a little brighter, IMO. But it took me a while to see. I will see if I can take a pic later.
 
The Mango color waist pack arrived today, I am very happy with it. It can be wear as large belt bag or small crossbody. Comes with a detachable wide crossbody strap, a good length waist belt, and the bag. My cat likes it too.

Adorable. I have thought about some of these cute reissues. You know exactly what color you are getting!

From the catalog, it does look more like BT. Tabac seems darker and less warm than BT. Before the dunk, I really thought it was tabac. Guess it’s just dirty. Lol thanks for the catalog! ;)

Yeah it seems more BT because it is orangey. But from the AT thread, I think this hobo only came out in mahogany or tabac at that time. That’s why I am a bit confused. Serial # 889-9928

Catalog photos don't always show all the colors they made. BT was a common color so I wouldn't be surprised they made it in that.
