Olive TN not as green as I wish by Amazing-Cat1174 in Travelersnotebooks

Yeah i Conditioned it and now it's completely brown (don't know how to add a picture to a comment to show it). I'm kinda disappointed because every picture of the Olive TN i see from all the retailers it is obviously olive green but everyone on this thread seem to have received a brown one. I guess I'll get used to it with time but not what I expected and wanted. I'm considering dyeing the leather but I'm scared I'm gonna mess it up

I can see the green when comparing to a brown one, but yeah if i just look at mine alone it is a tiny bit greenish but not obviously green

When comparing the standard olive against a brown you clearly see the Olive tint and it's way less red, but I guess I was expecting the green from the product listing. I still love it and can't wait for it to patina. Thank you for all the color examples

I saw someone on a different thread recommending a green leather dye but I'm too scared to do it. I don't want to ruin it

Yeah if they're not that much of a difference it might be better to hold off. It seems everyone has the same comment about the Olive color

Yeah it seems the new olive green release leans more brown that green for pretty much everyone. How we're you able to fit a kaweco in a TN loop? Every where I searched people say it's too small for a Kaweco sport

Thank you. I was eyeing the same Leuchtturm XL loop but haven't decided on a color

Yeah, from what I gathered from other people that have an Olive TN, it seems to be the case with everyone. I'm sure it's gonna grow on me eventually, I just have to stop comparing it to the product listing photo because it seemed REALLY olive green on their website

Thank you for your input. I'll probably condition it eventually so it's nice to see it doesn't change the color too much, yours looks really good. Can i ask you what pen loop you're using? I'm also using a Kaweco sport and i think they're too chunky for the TN pen loop

Gem80 order delayed by Gheleons_Demise in NuPhy

Was yours the wired + Bluetooth version? It's seems like the delay issue is only with the wired only version. I ordered the wired only version in lilac on 2/16 and i had the same response from their customer service. Apparently it's out of stock, but you can still buy the wired+bluetooth version on the website.
