When we talk about ‘Boondocker’ here, what do we mean? Its definition developed into various meaning throughout the years and use loosely by people.

In the modern world, Boondocker now has got different variations. From snowmobile to RV community to military, it has however maintain its meaning of exploring the remote area, the adventurous type.

Continuation of WX2 Military leather goods, this week we release the Naval wallet.
The idea came about when we first handled our supplies of these Blue Cavalier Chromexcel Leathers (Horween). What we saw was a wavy ‘sea of blue leathers’ when stacking the hides on the shelf. All it took was someone to cry out, we should do something for the Navy. And that is how it all started.

The design of this wallet is inspired by Mr. -Five-’s original design which we were commissioned to produce in 2010. The full story coverage can be found recorded in his blog entry, showing his sketch design to the details of material used on his wallet.
3 years later, we reproduce this design and place it in a prestige category in Obbi Good Label’s design altar. One of the 3 pieces for WX2 Military, this is the AF1 Wallet.
The double stitching lines across the wallet are machine-sew with walking foot trails in between the lines, imprinting onto the lambskin contrasting the grain pattern.

Been updating some work and also featuring 'Daily life of OGL craftsmen' where we illustrate OGL leather work by breaking them down in pictures.
Here is one noteworthy entry that shows the making of beautiful_Freaks custom wallet.
http://oglavie.com/2013/10/12/5inch-custom-brave-wallet/
This is one part that we recently improvised on the coin compartment. It allows more space and accessibility to the coins inside with extra opening on one side which is innovatively hidden.
This is OGL original design.
