I settled on, for me, the perfect G1: a Star Sportswear 38, up through the D series. Every time I've tried one on the fit and feel have been perfect!
The thing is, I recently bought an example off eBay, from 1967, which was in insanely good shape. But the collar was more of a reddish brown than I wanted. I decided to take a chance, and sure enough, it doesn't look good on me. (Shame since it is, again, probably the best condition one I've ever seen.) So I'll be returning it. What I really want is the color that matches the goatskin, that dark brown.
Did the contracts call for specific colors? Right now G1 fur seems like a total random hodgepodge to me, a spectrum from black to almost honey blonde.
I was wondering if there's some way to know and possibly see the variations, to ideally know "Ok, I want a Star Sportswear, these years, code 47 for color", etc.
Or was there never one and it was luck of the issue?
Thanks all!
