Wallets, Chains, and Reins
-
My guess would be anything up to around 5" / 13 cm should sit inside a back pocket happily.
The original version of the Iron Heart / Manifold URA-02 had a ring for a lanyard. The new ones don't, but maybe Giles can get them fitted if there's another run done.
Self Edge (and Rivet and Hide) sell the Wild Child wallet in black and natural / tan.
Village Works sell a range of short wallets under the Redmoon and Pailot River brands. Take a look at Neolatine to see the range. There are a few extra bits and pieces on the Japanese version of their site.
E2ND sell Crow (Kurobane) wallets, which is an offshoot of Redmoon. Again, there's a few short wallets that have or can be fitted with leashes. There are also a few old stock Redmoon pieces you won't see on Neolatine.
Obbigood make short wallets, as do Herz.
I've missed a few, and I don't really know the American makers.
Thanks for links! Some good options there, but not quite what I'm looking for. Either are they too big, or the design is off. The OGL brave mid wallet could maybe work though, with some minor modification.
…What are my alternatives as for wallets like this one?...
If you really like that wallet, you could buy that wallet. I believe it's made by Blackyrock in Elma, WA. Contact them and they'll make you one. I have one of their card holders and recognize the rein loop and construction. They make good products in the US at a discount compared to Japanese brands.
Edit: here's a similar one with that rein in tan from Blackyrock:
Yes I forgot to mention it's from blackyrock. I also found an alternative from Headers Co. which I really fancy. One of those with 4.75-5" length and room for 5-6 cards would be pretty spot on i think.
What kind of concerns me, is that I can't find much information about their work. I got an Angelos wallet and I'm really happy with that. How does it compare to the more known makers, like OGL, Angelos, Red Moon and maybe Iron Heart?
I'm located in Europe, so there's no real preference as for location of manufacturing. Best thing would be from Europe ofcourse, due to import costs, but I leather workers seem more rare around here.

That headers looks really nice, any idea haw much they are?
Where in Europe are you? I'm in the UK, I've been looking for a reasonably priced Mid Length wallet, they are few and far between over here. I had settled on the Pike Brothers Riders Wallet, they are supposed to be good for the money, but unfortunately they are sold out until the end of April
http://pikebrothers.com/Produkt/rider-wallet/I have also been looking at these by Eastman Leathers new label ELMC,
http://www.elmc.co/wallet-wear-and-belts/saddle-wallet
but the Logo puts me off a bit,they are made by Born + Bred who also make there own mid length biker wallet, but I'm not sure about that either.

I have a blackrocky that I posted about back a few pages.
I have been very happy with my wallet. I believe it is just one person.
Here is a link.

The headers looks really nice, but a little costly. Especially including import costs. He also seemed to be able to customize the size etc, and there were alot of different leather options depending on price.
I can't find much reivews or so of headers work. While it really does look great, it'd be nice with some other pov.I'm in Sweden. The pike looks nice, but i'd like a black one. The logo on the Eastman is definetly a deal breaker to me :P. The bornandbread actually looks pretty good. Would be nice to see it in black (and maybe black stitching).
I don't understand why non of them are listing measurements. This is pretty much the most important thing to me. Please tell me if you find something more :).

I've seen the Born + Bred wallets at Rivet and Hide. Danny sells a modified Biker with card slots on both sides, rather than the coin pouch. It even comes in black.
The Born + Bred pieces look nice. They're made of a thick leather, with heavy duty stitching, and I preferred them to the Obbi Good wallets.

They do look really nice. I'm afraid that one would be slightly too big for my liking.
I'd probably buy this one if it had fitting for rein…

I've been eyeing up the Born+Bred Biker wallet as well. I can't work out if I like the coin pouch or not though, or whether I prefer the Rivet & Hide version which just has card slots. One thing I am sure of is that do like is the whisky colour!
-
Any advice on nice reins to complement the wallet? The hollows looks nice.
The iron heart ones are nice (I have both) as the leather is wrapped around a metal core so hangs nicely. rivet and hide also stock the obbi good label one which looks good.

That's what happens when you get hooked on Japanese leather. You get a beautiful wallet but no cash to store in it!

Very true! For every wallet I sell the money goes straight to more leather haha

Loving the URA-02, but need a few more card slots. Decided to supplement with a card holder. I saw some badass indigo dyed wallets, but they were all sold out and seriously pricey. DIY'd myself a version with a Tanner Goods natural. Pretty happy with the outcome.

That's really nice. I liked the indigo dyed ones(assuming we saw similar ones) but I think they were sold out by the time I saw them. Such an easy and cool idea. I also really love that Tanner goods design.
It always surprises me when wallets have only like 1-2 card slots. Who are these people with no more than an ID and maybe one credit card haha?I've got a custom wallet coming from The Black Acre which is probably 3-4 times larger than this one haha.
