I notice from Vic's description ELC are shortly to be using a darker warhorse hide for the 1933 Werber. The Werber is the only ELC A2 that I own and IMO their best. The current hh is spot on and I don't see how it can be improved on.

I agree 100%. Their current horsehide is just right in color, weight, and appearance for this contract. After almost six years of wear, mine looks quite a bit like the original that Eastman compares their repro against on their website.

I wouldn't change a thing but it's his business not mine. I am sure there is a good business case for the change.

falcon could you show us a picture of your weber please

It can't be easy sourcing hh that is so lightweight. The darker color may be necessary to cover blemishes.

hahaha, mine isnt nearly as light as these pix. however, i reckon in a few years it will be. my elc rw 1401 [the batch with the first crown zipper, before the "war horse"] is very light like the werber pix. caramel would be the best description of the color.
