bahut badiya craftsmanship. the split toe design looks very sharp and the vegetable-tanned lining makes it comfortable to wear for long hours.
These derbies arrived in good condition. The tan color matches the photos and the stitching on the split toe is very neat.
really liked the suede quality but the vegetable-tanned leather lining is a bit stiff at first. fits well once you wear it for a few days..
Impressive durability on these. The combination of the nitrile sole and hand-welted build makes this a solid choice for daily wear.
