Hi folks,
I have just received my new BR Peacoat in black and the leather on the collar is now brown on this, not black. I was quite disappointed as I think the look of this is very altering. Was just in case anyone else was thinking of ordering.

The leather has been brown for many years as I recall. The brown leather on my pre-2020 peacoat is almost like a "pull-up" leather.
I bought a black one about three years ago and it was black then. It’s still a lovely coat but I don’t think it sits as well on the black as the navy. And I have always found the black looks more screen accurate.
I suspect Cajun was referring to the navy Bond peacoat...?
But yeah, I agree that they keep making changes. I'm personally not a fan of the embossing that they do on the leather nowadays, but I guess they have to keep things fresh...
They keep lowering the wool content, as well. From memory, mine is about seven years old: black 90% wool and black leather.
