Amazing. Super comfy from day 1

As I made these always room to get better. One thing. The 2060 tends to flair out for me. I thought maybe my finishing wasn’t square but looking back at the first photos I realized this came with wear.

More about this item

I got this leather from a friend who won it from an OA leather auction. We didn’t not know the tannage. At first I assumed it Horween waxed flesh. Further inspection revealed it was not and Ben suggested I reach out to Nick. I sent him a sample and it turned out to be Kudu CXl! Very cool leather and very oily!
