I've shopped at VO on and off. Majority of my purchases have been spot on and I'm quite satisfied.
I'm a big fan and advocate of the Elkhide sew ons and I feel they're priced at a fair price. Obviously, cheaper is better for us buyers, but comparing to other options I prefer VO quality/price wise.
Tom, VO has been mentioned a few times from my recent memory (french bb, those beautiful gloves!).
