If I were to guess it would be pushin' $300+.

Dont you think that price would be a little high concerning this its not made out of shell cordovan like the others ?

[Giles]

It'll be less than the shell cordovan, but it will still be pricey.  It's all hand stitched using animal tendons in Japan. so no way is this going to be cheap…G

i like it! perfect for wearing a suit or slacks 

[nixage]

Stitched with animal tendons?  Wow.  Kind of like the old school tennis rackets!  What kind of animal did they use for the stitching?

[Giles]

Didn't want to ask….G

[Dchill]

That's what I wanted to know too nixage, kinda creepy.

[nixage]

lol.  Giles, I think it's either some nice fat Tokyo Rats or Goat?!?

[Seul]

I just looked up tendon (with a due sense of disgust)… Kinda macabre... But hey: it's a sideproject of an already dead/ slaughtered animal so who cares!.. 

[nixage]

Hmmm.  I'm learning something new today.

Did Haraki - San mention what kind of leather this new wallet is made of ?

[Giles]

Bset quality calf. It'll age like no-tomorrows.  G

[Beatle]

I am going to sacrifice a mini herringbone for this. And whatever else it takes.  How big are the chances of talking Haraki into having reign attachment option?

[Giles]

Beats.  I want to keep him on track with other stuff!! Not going to divert his attemtions just yet!  G

hey Giles!

wasnt there a small and basic credit card holder ? i do not carry wallets , nor do i do the chain bit. i like have nothing in my pants pockets. i carry stuff in my flannel pockets and in those cut pockets on teh melton.

Haraki and I are working on a credit card holder at the moment.  The concept was an idea by one of the members and it is fucking awesome, I can't wait to see the prototype.

USD420 without the ring, poss a little more with the ring…G

[Beatle]

considering the leather and the hand made factor that´s a really fair price….I am really looking forward to this

Lando, your translation re: tendons was inaccurate.  This is from H a few mins ago:

The thread is made from Achilles tendon of Goat. It's natural and really strong. It is really rare, almost impossible to get in Japan.
