SACKVILLE color shift, slight, unavoidable, not bad, but...

May 22, 2009

The plan was black, but supply was spotty, with waits up to 3 months just for basic black---the stock, easy color. So we're shifting to a just-as-excellent color that the mfr (in Scotland) calls khaki, but to most of us here, it looks like dark grey or light black, with a faint hint of super dark green in it. So far, it is easier to get.

It is a great color.....but the  point here is that if you bought a blackie early and have bag-matching tendencies, order up now.

On a global scale, these "problems" are not actualy problems, but in the past when colors had to change, we suffered the sting of arrows plucked from quivers and twanged from bows of bagmatchers, so we felt it was best for everybody to lay it out there here and now. If you want another black, buy it now, because we're going to the dark grey or light black, with a faint hint of super dark green in it.

If supply of dark grey or light black, with a faint hint of super dark green dwindles, we're going to pounce on another just-as-excellent color.

Thanks for understanding...
