Re: Advintage Harrison Colors

Thanks folks,

Trigger pulled. Went for Beaver/Rabbit blend. Crystal Skull style in Sable. The Raiders sable just seemed too red for me. Now I play the waiting game. It's gotta come all the way down to New Zealand so I'm praying for a pre Xmas arrival.

The collection grows................

Is the cut the same between the two. Is it just a colour change? I have both a todds (yellowish) and a wpg. I tend to find the WPG is worn the most as the colour is bang on for me, but the todds is more comfortable to wear.
