Durability

Buttery smooth right from the start. It's a hardy and thick leather that seems to be a great choice for a bag that gets beat up here and there.

Stitching

Hardware

Finishing is great - the rivets, stitching and seams, buttons and other hardware are all done neatly and match the styling of the bag. There is no lining in the bag which I like because it is rough out leather on the inside which is interesting/cool.

Final thoughts

Would Recommend

This bag will certainly outlive me and likely my children haha. It's proven to be an awesome addition in my life that I'll continue to use almost daily.
