All 8 reviewsbahut accha quality leather. full grain crust has a nice natural shine to it without looking plasticky.
opted for the argentinian leather sole. it looks sophisticated but takes a few wears to break in properly around the apron toe.
Coats brand thread used for the stitching is quite neat. No loose ends visible on the apron seam.
Inside is soft because of the drum-dyed leather lining. it feels breathable even after a full day at the office.
Proper professional look. Black crust leather looks very sharp with my formal trousers.
