I think the material and things like snaps are a major issue; not sure I completely understand the construction of the UK without having one in my hands.
That being said, I am intrigued by the idea of a contemporary type of construction with more elegant materials and closures; canvas or denim studded with snaps isn't quite right in my mind...
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
