i like it! perfect for wearing a suit or slacks

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.

@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

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

[Giles]

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.

[Giles]

OK folks.  Taking pre-orders for these now.  PM me.  G

Damn you google translator! Goat Tendon it is. You already know what I want.

I'll wait for the cardholder.
