    Thanks Leilah for addressing this and taking accountability. In any business, you need to account for a % of bad outputs made, but as a customer you don't want to be that unlucky statistic. Mistakes happen, but how they’re handled matters, and this is a green flag for Rugged West. I haven’t...

    This is my concern as well and why I'm torn between the two-tone and cordovan. I like the former as a color better but the superior hide is the latter. Decisions decisions!

    Hope the hide is still available by August. Leilah said it's first come first serve haha still saving up for it
