Don't think the bad lighting helps...its a bit washed out.
Opinions please.
Your basic could be saddle. Depends on when it was made. Saddle is more yellow than BT. Remember that BT varied from year to year, just as mahogany did. Tabac is a medium brown without the red tones of BT.
 
Please could I get a comp for 9730 shoulder sac and a what fits??? Any similar options from the lightweights you would recommend?
omg I cannot believe you are asking. I pulled mine out yesterday for the first time in ages and packed it to the gills for an excursion. I am going out for an errand. I can do it in a couple of hours if no one does it first :smile:

Also included is my phone, which I am using for the pics now, a packet of tissues and a three pack of disposable masks, which I put back in my car. Hope that helps. Let me know if you want something more specific.
 
Does anyone have a tabac and British tan item they can put side to side so I can try and tell the difference...Wondering if my stewardess is tabac not bt.
The best way to find out if something is tabac is to get a spectator bag and compare it to the trim since we know the trim was tabac. The bags I've had with tabac trim usually had quite a bit of wear so I'm sure the color was different from the original.
I have been thinking about whateve’s comment about the spectator piping being tabac. And a big ty :flowers: for that. Then today I pulled out my shoulder purses. I believe the top left may be putty and the bottom left tabac. Against my BT letter carrier. All NYC with numbers. I have a Plaza I thought may be tabac, but when put it in this mix, def BT. And disregard any post where I thought my City might be tabac. It’s uber BT.

Comp between the Bella 9957 & Watson 9981! Now that my Bella is rehabbed, I can see it’s a little bigger than the Watson but they’re both pretty similar. Both have a curved bottom, same depth, back slip pocket & inner zipper pocket :smile::

@Coachaddict4020 I just found this old post. My Bella court arrived a week ago and needs dunking and reshaping. I actually like my Watsons and thought they were the same size as the Bella. Your comps are very helpful! Thanks!
 
Can anyone provide a side by side of a Shelton vs. Shelburne? I had a Shelburne but sold it due to it being cumbersome to access items within the bag, I found the front flap (too long) with the slight "V" overall shape of the bag hindering. Is the Shelton the same?
