Filson Crusier Dry Tin: anyone seen one or buy one?

I bought a Filson Tin Cruiser last year, still unworn, and was going to use it as a hunting/work outdoors jacket. Recently this year they came out with the Dry Tin version:

http://www.filson.com/products/dry-f...ser.10074.html

I'm thinking to go with the Dry Tin finish given the non-waxy material suitable for more kicking around town type of stuff than pure work. The color is noted as Dark Tan but the pic sure looks like it is a light tan.

Does anyone have real world pics of the Dry Tin Cruiser jacket? Or have you seen one in the store? How light/dark is the tan color?

Thanks.

I have a Lined Timberline in the waxed finish, and a tote that was sent to me dry. The dry color is between yellow and green (greener than the Saddleback logo above) and the wax makes it the same as the background of the Crane's logo above.

I was in the Filson store recently and looked at that jacket. That picture is a reasonable approximation.

I agree. I have some dry tin cloth in the store and it appears to be the same color.
