This being the second time I have purchased part of the Fox set from VP leather, I knew what to expect but still am blown away not only by the quality of the leather but also the craftsmanship. The material is soft and padded; very comfortable for wearing for extended periods. The hardware also seems to be extremely durable, not that I plan on testing it to any limit but I have no fear that pulling and tugging will not rip or tear the leather or pull the rivets or clips from their housings. Just beautiful, absolutely stunning. Love seeing my loved one wearing them
