So, I did not get this for it's intended use. I do have a nice horse hair brush for my shoes, but I got this specifically to brush my clothes from dust in the closet. Over the pandemic, and currently in it, I did not wear my suits nor nice shirts anywhere, and they began to collect dust overtime. Many years ago while purchasing suits from a tailor I saw the store employees using horse hair brushes to brush the top of suits to keep them in tip top shape. So, that it is what I did.Brush comes in a nice sleeved box, and the wooden handle is nice and smooth easy to hold and feels solid in the hand. No bristles fell out or are falling out while I brush my suits to cleanliness. Extremely soft bristles, soft to the touch and again easy to hold and use.
