Thanks...... Some irregularities are very common for the leather but this scratch is very obvious
I'm gonna try and say this in the nicest way, but when I read "scratch" earlier I though it must be over 6 inches and be deep like a knife cut to warrant any real complaint....as noted above, consider that the vest bag is object dyed in a liquid medium (softens the leather) and is smashed against the large (and none too polished) clasps of the chest for a good duration of time. The leather is not going to come out looking like polished shell cordovan. The whole dorsal area of my vest bag is covered with large (4-7") marks that make it look like the scratching post of an angry cat with semi-dull claws....I don't consider this a flaw...just a product of the manufacturing process.Last edited by blackfedora; 05-08-2015, 07:26 AM.

i have to agree with blackfedora in this case. i'd say scratches and cuts are actual product flaws, but a small imperfection like that is hardly a major issue for the product. disappointing, perhaps, but also a facet of the bag more than a huge flaw in it, i'd say.

Vest bags are typically the most "damaged" of the object dyed leather CCP items because of this.

Not really.. As I know, they dye by colour batch and not by item.Focusing on object details
