- Still genuinely handmade in Adelaide from a single piece of leather — one of the last big 'Made in Australia' fashion holdouts.
- A$699 ≈ US$462 vs US$589 in America; add the ~A$63 TRS refund and you save roughly US$185 buying at home.
- Get properly fitted in store (whole and half sizes, multiple widths F/G/H) — exchanges from overseas are painful.
- Not sold officially in India; it's Australia or nothing.
