Thanks in advance

Just curious, has anyone seen Broncos that where not russet?

I've seen jackets as light brown as a Cable Rain Coat which was caramel to dark tan (but also heavily worn) and as dark what most call seal brown (like a dark chocolate bar, but not black) on an Aero 21996. But, never an overly red, rust orange or black shade of hide like on some of the repros I owned. Yuck! That was always a major beef with me. Getting the right color is where the look all starts for me.

So how close is ELC's Cable A-2 to the ones that you've seen? I must admit, I like that shade, but wondered how authentic is is.
