Wallets, Chains, and Reins

[tatmantall]

i also like the idea of the white wallet. as was stated looks like it would likely yield some very interesting evolution over time.

There are also black versions of both wallets, pictures from the Rm-ism blog. Given the date of the posting, I'm guessing that the one I posted earlier is new old stock from 2008.

I suspect that the white would evolve in a more interesting manner, but I wonder how the black would turn out.

those are beautiful wallets; if I would have to choose I'd go with a white long one

@mclaincausey:

Interesting, do many of you alternate between multiple wallets at a time?  I'm strongly monogamist on that…  My wallet has an almost visceral connection to me...  Given the size of the thing that would be inconvenient if I ever wore skimpy clothes with shallow pockets

I alternate between my old faithful Obbigood black mid wallet, and when I'm going out for beers I switch to my black Tush Kawakami card case.

im in a monogamist relationship with my redmoon

[davito]

I am switching between my IH-SW black and my Rising sun x Blackacre collabo Trucker wallet one off piece in tan horsehide

[davito]

Rising sun x blackacre Trucker wallet, butterfly shape, 8inches tall. mine is one of the one offs in tan horsehide, a great piece

Those white or black painted Redmoons have me smitten… Was on 2nd this morning and the price is right too! Very tempting....

I am between buying this or another watch. I can't make up my mind!

davito that wallet is stunning

[Graeme]

Can someone buy the white Redmoon before I get too tempted?

[Graeme]

You went full Liberace, man. Never go full Liberace…

[davito]

Those white ones are truly beautiful

Thx nate yes very happy with it

[mclaincausey]

I'll go ahead and be in the minority on these white wallets. I think they're gaudy and effeminate. YMMV, etc.

[seanocono]

You're not in the complete minority there, Klein. I'm usually a Redmoon fan, too.

[tatmantall]

I'm wondering how if the black will age like old aniline dyed boot… If so that appeals to me even more

[Graeme]

My guess would be that the black painted wallet won't show up the dirt in the same way that the white one would, but would end up looking something like this watch strap. The matte finish is likely to polish to a shine too with wear.

There'll be more contrast on the concho than on the white.

[tatmantall]

Ugh… Damn I was hoping someone would say it will just stay solid black do the temptation would go away

[Graeme]

Hey, we're all enablers here.

Anyone know anything about Bead-Ya?

They do a very cute Cordovan purse / card case that I'm taken by. Unfortunately it's on the wrong side of stupidly expensive…
