In the world of leather upholstery for instance I know of no one who markets leathers of German origin. Italian leathers lead the herd (pun intended). Why? Not because the tanning or the leather itself is superior from Italy. But because the cows are larger when they are slaughtered, have generally not been kept behind barbed wire fences and thus the result is larger blemish free hides, which is critcal for furniture. What are the similar details in shoe making? I frankly don't know, but would like to.
So the Chukke boots no fine?
Im thinking a pair of boots more to jeans and casual clothes...
Not to de-rail the thread but Hancock & Moore source their leathers from all over the world so they would probably have German hides. In fact I believe Capri (an expensive class IV hide) is German.
I am digging all of those mucho... http://www.mrporter.com/Shop/Search?keywords=o'keefe&x=0&y=0
So angels break-dancing on the heads of pins is a weekend thing here . . .
It's time for my next buy of shoes next week. I need boots (I only wear C&J) Im thinking more of the Chukka that maybe they will go nicer with jeans, chinos?
Wich one is nicer? I like nr 1 more, but I dont know they are so many...

Sorry 'bout that. I'm just trying to learn more about shoe leather sourcing and ways to possibly verify various quality levels. Apparently what I seek is not available (technical specs or quantifiable info, etc.)
Ok what really matters here is the last.
