Hi Duane, The swatch I have--I really like BUt I went back & read thread on basic leather 101. I am scared--you mentioned mottled. When I go in a store my preference is the more evenly colored leathers. The leathers that look several shades darker or lighter in the various areas are not my preference. I looked at the HM document & it is hard to discern. I am going to basically order it without knowing--I guess everyone does this when ordering from a swatch. There is no option for me if I want BY or HM. NOW I am really concerned-its not like ordering from a fabric swatch! Is there any advice, etc. OMG I want to like it when it arrives (no choice) I have enough buyers remorse just from spending money! I WILL have it for a long time Someone say something reassuring....
