Playing with the color of flesh-side leather and matching it with the stitching color is fun. These Valiant Shorty also play with texture by combining domestic black tea-core with black rough-out, creating a subtle contrast.
Personally, this kind of make-up is my favorite. Quiet, but still has character. I never really like overly fancy stitching with loud contrast colors just to tell people “hey, this is handmade”. Sometimes less noise looks more elegant.
