Judgment after six months: a simple bag with weaknesses

I bought this bag twice. The first time had the leather in some places severe abrasion (which here some call "fur" on leather designate). Returned and exchanged. Unfortunately, the replacement was not entirely error-free, that is returned. After that, I found the bag again on ebay for only 58 euros (and not as price reduced Mängelexemplar (= return), which is sometimes sold there, but as a special offer). For this price you have bought and since August in use. Upon delivery of the leather had only a few, small grated points, which was fine for me.

Appearance: The bag is simple, rustic, vintage, or whatever you want to call it. I like it because of the simple design without frills and branding.

Functionality: Good division, enough space for a narrow box-file or a laptop and a lot of odds and ends. The union also has an internally sewn pocket for paper etc.

Quality: The mixture of vegetable tanned goatskin and results in a durable and relatively insensitive leather. Disadvantage is the greasy surface and the goat smell. Even after six months of use greasy pocket; bright garments must do without. The Dubbin plugged in cotton lining. Documents or letters can not transport it without risking grease stains (usually I use plastic casings).
Even the goat smell is still noticeable, although much weaker. You have to realize that it really smells like goat, not for "leather", presumably chrome tanned cowhide. This smell is familiar and it is therefore accepted and "normal". Goat, however, is uncommon. I got used to it; Sensitive souls should not buy the bag.
The rivets hold so far, but the loop on shoulder strap is reinforced to thin leather and cotton fabric, which is already frayed and peeks under the leather. Have cut him off, causing the loop now is loose.
More problematic are a metal connection between belt and bag. When delivered, they were aligned transversely and were as wide as the belt. After extended use, the front connection is but hiked by 90 degrees; Although they can be pushed back to its original state where it does not remain when walking. Unfortunately, this is not a purely visual problem because the leather strap has narrowed at this point and lengthened. Sometime probably the leather tear here.

All in all, the Tashkent okay if you tolerate the simple processing or even investigated. But who buys the bag due to the purist style which should rather resort to a chrome-tanned cowhide bag that neither greasy nor smell. For 58 euros the bag was a good buy; at just 100 Euro saw for myself the value for money worse. I would like to see the pocket "Stag" with the same provider as similar design, but Buffalo + chromium.
