Yea, it looks like leather on the bottom and on the accents. Oiled cloth/canvas makes sense. Looks nice though. Have you checked out the Krane bags since they're so similar? I don't know the pricing/quality differences but know both have good reputations. I think someone posted a pic of the krane one recently quick edit: found it http://www.styleforum.net/showpost.p...postcount=2574

jil navy brogue. y/n?


I would buy something similar for less money than jil, if I were you. Jil Sander is more for unique stuff, so I wouldn't buy something simple like this from her.

Going to kop those two bags I posted.

Found the messenger / laptop bag without the pebbled leather on the flap, which is way better.

Anyone sitting on the fence on W+H T's should not be.

Got two today and they are worth the price. I'm done paying for T's that **** up after a wash that have average cotton.

Will be kopping more, ASAP, for summer over here.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Jil Sander the definition of simple clothing? Also simple doesn't mean not unique, they're two different principles, these shoes are a good example of simple and unique.
