Some nice grabs, there. Congrats!

I love the grain pattern, color, and last shape of those. If they fit, you got yourself a great bargain.

Style is 'Grafton' one of the all-time-classics in the Church's catalogue.
Leather is 'Ranch Oxhide'. Last is (probably) 73.

You got yourself a bargain.

Marissa Miller is the hottest person alive...Period
