A while ago I sold a Steerhide branded Halfbelt Crosszip with purple quilted lining, huge regret. Today, I found another one, a straight zip, double D ring, I’m gonna hold on to it like my life depends on it
What I mean here is that the cuff usually stay buttoned, you won’t be playing around the buttoning and unbuttoning, and even if the hope gets manipulated, that slit is not going to expand, leather is not a fraying material, and let’s say that little bit of connection formed by the two needle...

Bought in Feb from NY. Worn 5 times outside.
soft toe too as an...
love this Lewis, it's no longer on their website but The Stronghold still has one, maybe Lewis japan still offers it. The issue with the design is that the construction detail and raw material don't go together. The neck hanger bar is attached to the back panel via repeated bar tab stitching, no...
