Chains, Reins, Leashes, Wallets & Hooks

[Giles]

Haraki has just made me the following.  It is black shell cordovan and utilises animal tendon construction.

This will be available soon, as a normal retail item in natural calf.

What do you think?

pretty nice..I personally don't need a big coin compartment - but the amount of card slips seems right***

OMG, I fucking want it ! Tell me when G…tell me when ! That one won't stick outta my ass so I won't need chains and shit. I want it ! PS. Why did the title change from "New to "Mew" ?

It changed from Mew to New when I realised I was a complete dork and thought I better correct it.

I think that the natural calf one will be fab.  I did ask that the prototype above be natural calf, and hey, I got black cordovan (Scarlett and Bill, all is forgiven).  Anyway, I love it so it will be in a hip pocket near me very soon.  In light of Beatles comments above re: coin compartment, what is the general consensus?

Giles, The coin pocket looks cool although I am a bit wary of its functionality. I am wondering what the thought was behind this type of construction. But overall, the wallet looks great though. A wonderful option for those of us who do not use wallet chains!

What d'you think the price tag 'd be like?.. I only use cardholders but still kinda curious…

[Giles]

Dunno yet.  Less than the current mid size cordovans but likely more than Red Moon, Skull, TFH et al.  G

My £0.02's worth - lose the coin pocket. Otherwise its a doozy.

Do away with the coin pocket and make it oxblood and I'm all over it

[PETEROCK1]

nice wallet, giles!

i'm interested in the mid length wallet in either black or ox blood. if i choose the ox blood color, would it be possible to get a matching leather rein also

That looks awesome but I am another vote for no coin pocket. If I ever have change, it goes in a pocket. A coin pocket seems like a lot of bulk for something I wouldn't use. Looks killer otherwise!

[madmonday]

are you going to be getting these as well,

also what's up with the new shirts??

[Giles]

That's the prototype haraki made for me.  He will be selling the production version in Japan, I may take it for the West, but he is making a tan calf version of this one, probably without the coinn pocket.

Some shirts due this month.

thanks, g!

hey giles, do you think you can post a pic of how this compares to the medium Ox Blood Shell Cordovan Wallet?

I just wanted to know since i was considering and saving for the medium cordovan. If  you don't have time to don't worry about it. I was just curious.

Thanks in advance!

[Giles]

as soon as I get my hands on it, I will.  G

[bubblleboi]

I think Giles is on vacation…climbing a mountain or something. He'll be back soon. He mentioned it right before he left.
