Wallets, Chains, and Reins

[minkoil]

@mr.dead:

Need some help deciding on what wallet to invest in. First step into high quality leather wallets/accessories but I wanna start off on the right foot. In actuality, I'm looking for three or four leather accessories in the next little while. First on the list is definitely a short wallet (around 4.5-5" x 4") and a nice simple leather rein. Probably going to stick with a natural/naked leather. I saw this short Red Moon wallet on ebay and thought it looked promising, I know Red Moon is a highly regarded company but also fairly costly. I also really dig that TFH leather chain. I also really dig the Wild Child wallet on SE but wish it had an ID slot or coin pocket.
Anyway, short of picking up a Red Moon, WC, or TFH short wallet, I'm interested in getting one custom ordered from a smaller company. I've read good things about Scott Willis, LeatherGoodConnection, & The Blackacre but would like to know if there are any options I should consider. I'll most likely be buying a new belt with the wallet & rein. From what I've seen, it seems like Scott Willis does a pretty fantastic job with all three.

do you know how to treat the raw leather?

I've been learning, Scott (from Don't Mourn) has been really helpful. Any tips though?

I use mustang paste, pricey but worth it.

[mr.dead]

What sort of real world benefit does using mustang paste offer over using something like Obenauf's LP?

Anyone can give any suggestion where and what brand of wallet chain rein to recommend. Not too expensive though. Best is 100 and below.

A little update on my Blackacre wallet and another one that I picked up recently.

Accidental coffee spill added a streak of "character."

My daily wallet, after 2 other wallets throughout the year, I've settled onto this for at least a year. Really like how it's progressing, now @ 3 months of daily usage;
