Question - your black elks look like they do not have a brown tea core (I want black all the way through), is that the case? If the black elk comes as a tea core leather only, I will go for black dress but hesitant bc I'm not sure if this leather is too "plain" and lacking character as it ages, I don't want to get bored of it.
both black elk and dress are not teacore — they‘re basically the same (dry tan) leather, according to White’s, just slightly different thicknesses. I’m sure in your heart you know what to do... save up and go for black horse!
