Guess what? It was called dark grey.

LOL that works! Thanks so much!

Thanks. I keep seeing ones with 31 or 34 inch straps. Guess if I see a bag I like I should get it and maybe get a crossbody length strap elsewhere for when I want the option. The blog I read where I first saw it made it sound like smalls all had the longer strap oh well.

I have a red Courier Pouch and I'm keeping an eye out for a super cheap red Janice or a red Rambler's Legacy so that I can share the crossbody strap with my Courier. It might not be a perfect match but it'll work.

A red Legacy zip would work too, and its longer. I swapped a pony Express strap that was cracked with a Legacy zip and it was a perfect fit just like 5 in longer.

The Legacy Zip has a longer strap? Oooh.....I wanted one of those anyway but I always thought they looked like they sat higher on the hip than the Janice or RL. I prefer a lower crossbody position. Thanks!!

Wasn’t sure if I should post this here or rehab thread but would you buy a pre creed metal tag bag with about an inch long tear/edge on the corner piping?

I probably would, but it would depend on the style and price. Torn piping doesn't scare me away.

It doesn’t seem unfixable in pics but I fear it means the rest of the leather might be dry rotting.

If it is in a high-use area, like a bottom corner, I wouldn't be too worried because those areas tend to wear faster; but as @whateve says a lot depends on the style and the price (and how much work it's likely to require to repair.)

My one and only pre-creed Cashin bag had some serious damage and I had to take it to a cobbler for professional repair, but the bag only cost $2 at the thrift store. The cobbler was able to fix it fairly cheaply and it rehabbed well; but if the bag had been expensive to purchase I might have walked away.

I ended up with a black one and a black with brown trim because I couldn't decide. I think I have a problem. My husband agrees, lol.

I know I do, every time I say I’m done buying, I end up buying more.

Forgive me, I'm sure this has already been stated somewhere, but was the Court Bag in black ever made with nickel hardware?

Yes, it was. Starting around 1998.
