Has anyone seen an Indy jacket in this color?

I saw this jacket and it has a color I would like in an Indiana Jones jacket (ONE of the ones I buy of course, out of a hundred). Have you seen this color in any Indiana Jones jackets, particularly from Wested?

Looks a bit darker than the shrunken lamb and lighter than the goat...

I had an old (2000-ish) Wested that was close to that color.

Not Indy jackets...but, I've seen some Belstaff jackets in that color palate.

Hmm perhaps shrunken lamb would be my best bet then? I worry shrunken lamb wouldn't have a smooth or glossiness to it though?

No, it's not glossy or shinny, it has kind of a... "Matte shine"...

But out of all the skins I have it is the smoothest to touch. I would say it is kind of 'velvety' compared to goat or horsehide.

This being said... It is my least favourite leather. The off the rack raiders goatskin is the one I like most. When I got it it ripped in a few places and really annoyed me. Since then I treated it with Pecard's twice and have had no more issues. I think the leather was just really dry.
