Given the mirror shine and *almost* dress-boot like quality of these, paired with pinrolled puckered/faded chino/denim, I am very curious as to:
1) what does the rest of this outfit look like? and
2) what is the intended purpose of this outfit (work/bizcaz, roaming the streets, date night, etc.)?
no shade, just want to learn

You will have to join my onlyfans - currently i'm running a promotion :)

I just received my second pair of kudu boots and wanted to get thoughts on gouges on the toe. Is this considered normal/natural for this leather? The leather on my other pair is almost flawless The tannery/factory did a fantastic job treating the hide, and scars pretty much blend in. I was expecting scars and scratches on the hide, but these gouges are a surprise. Am I over reacting or this due to poor craftsmanship?

As you are not buying "seconds", I would return that pair and ask for an exchange. I own the Sons of Henrey Ambly chukka boots in the same Jamaica Kudu and they are far from yours, as you can see in the next image.
