How's the sheen on the finish? The only worry I have is that it will be too glossy, and the pictures aren't conclusive.
Did yours have the green or brown lining?
It has a real gloss to it; part of what makes it
almost too nice to use. While I don't want it to get beat, I also don't want it to be a trophy museum piece that sits in my wardrobe awaiting the occasional display. At some point soon, I'm going to have to take it out of it's cocoon and introduce it to the real world. Here's hoping it develops patina.
Now that I think about it, it's like this - unlike other leather goods that can actually get nicer with use, I've always thought of a new car as nowhere to go but down. It's as good as it's going to look when you buy it. My first thoughts on this are more the car and less like leather goods. I'm really hoping that's not the case...
I got the brown. I notice he now lists 2 different ones on his site - one from France (brown interior) one from Italy (green interior). When I got them, he was only stocking the ones from France so I didn't have a choice. I'm glad though, because the green would have just been over the top.
