DU2737PHILUF159TM29 - Richelieu à deux œillets en cuir marron foncé

I wasn't sure about the Blake construction at first, but after wearing these for a day, the flexibility really surprised me — they broke in fast. The testa di moro leather has a nice rich warmth that works with both jeans and chinos.

The Blake stitching really shows in how flexible these are right out of the box — no breaking-in period needed. The raised bucket stitching gives them a sharp, modern look that dresses up easily, and the dark brown leather has a nice depth to it.

The raised "vaschetta" stitching adds a nice sophisticated touch to the classic two-hole style. Only minor complaint is the leather feels a bit stiff out of the box, but it's already softening up nicely after a few wears. For the price, they're a solid, well-made casual shoe.
