A beauty, I love the colour.

 

[Brettafett]

Please never get rid of that jacket Gav!

 

[stanier]

That is a beauty! The collar is one of the nicest renditions of a RW collar I've seen to date.

The RW 1401P has got to be (arguably ?) the most endearing of A-2s. This one is most grand. Congrats.

Sweeeet !
Love that color. Starting to take on some grain and character. Looks great.

 

[Steve27752]

A good fit, I love it.

 

[jeremiah]

That looks great. Gav is that russet or Havana Brown? It’s s tad lighter than my monarch.

 

[herk115]

Excellent fit and great jacket. Good choice on the 46.

 

[gav]

I think it is Havana.

 

[jeremiah]

Ok thanks.

Update break in picture:

worn regularly since I got it in April 2018

Seems to have darkened. Have you treated it with any particular product over the years?

 

[gav]

No treatment. I think it has darkened a little but it is a very dark day here and the lighting is poor.

I know this question is one year old, but this is something I have wondered about as well - to me, it seems like Eastman is using these two expressions interchangeably. On the website, it says that the 1401P and Monarch are 'Havana', while in the new catalogue, it says they are 'Russet'. The actual colour seems to have varied over the years - Brettafett has posted a good picture from an air show in some thread somewhere which showed three very different colours that had all been labeled Havana (or maybe Russet, I don't remember) but with hides from different years/batches.

Looks awesome to me

 

[Brettafett]

Yes, I think its the same thing. The Havana IS Warhorse russet IS Havana. The hues do vary slightly batch to bactch. I have had a number of these and they have all been similar, but also slightly different.
I will ask about this over the weekend and see what's new, if anything.
