@volcano:

the splitting part looks great! mine is splitting too and it's starting to be an eyesore.

and yours look superb! i just applied obernauf leather oil and mine is dark! hoping it'll lighten up (its been 2 days).

I just use some bees wax and a slicker on mine. In my experiences, it's not an uncommon issue for wallets with hand finished edges to separate at the bend. Here are my two IH wallets with my Goro's pouch.

Really considering investing in the IH-FW, but I love the way the silver ring looks on the cordovan wallets.. Dont hate me for this but is it wrong for me to wish that the FW could possibly have a ring on it? Hahaha…

Not wrong, we wanted to do it, but we never found a ring we were happy with….

@joesaintjohn:

Does anyone know where I can pick up some spare brass rings? I caught my chain and busted the rings that hold the chain to the clips. I'm also considering getting the woven leash. I bought the Flat Head one from SelfEdge, but it didn't have beads. I'm thinking about getting the natural one and then beading it and adding some silver feathers…any thoughts?

have you tried etsy? Also Obbi Goods are usually good for spares if you drop them an email

Received this in the mail the other day.  Its massive.  Should I oil it before I put it in use? I've never owned anything made out of cordovan. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

It needs no oil, no love, no nothing…..

[Finn666]

… well "hard fecking wear" it needs, i´d say!

Tough love…

sorry if i missed out any information elsewhere but it seems to me that Flat Head or Iron Heart produces stuffs that's almost identical. like the wallet above looks so similar to the IH-MW.

I think it is the black cordavon mw but switched the lanyard hardware for a FH keyring

Yep, that is a Flat Heart….

[seanocono]

Looks more like an Iron Head to me.

[Onairda]

Yeah I purchased second hand, the person prior to me cut the the quarter off and put the flat head key chain on. It actually fits rather nicely, **but yeah, I was thinking about if its wrong or frowned upon to mix FH and IH products like this.

[seanocono]

Onairda, wear what you like. I think it looks good, but who really cares what other people think, right? You are now the proud owner of one of the best wallets in the world. Congrats, man.

[llvlaglne]

i'm a huge fan of both brands so to me…. this just equals an awesome hybrid lol

[ronaldlsh]

Looks awkward to me somehow..

[Finn666]

fuck it…wear and don´t compare! quality is ace...and that is of both items, wallet and key ring!

I wouldn't worry too much about what is wrong or right, as long as you like it who cares what anyone else thinks.

On a side note I think it looks not only fine, but it is unique as well ;)!

Thanks Tatmantall,  Im considering purchasing the IH-SRN necklace and using the ring to restore the wallet.  I was thinking I can very carefully cut and install the ring, then solder it back together once installed.  Idk, maybe that's a little crazy.
