Watching the evolution of different parts of the veg-tan bag age and patina is fun. The comparison with the largely unused field note cover is becoming more and more stark. The back of the bag is becoming heavily burnished through daily use and the front is evolving nicely, though still has a bit of the initial roughness and character. It will be fun to see what it looks like at 6 months.
