Wallets, Chains, and Reins

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.

I'm guessing you guys saw the Teranishi stuff. I've handled his wallets and they are nice, but damn the prices have near tripled. Anyway, nice job Summer it looks great!
-
Thanks all for the compliments! It was the Teranishi wallets that caught my attention. It was a fun and functional little project, but I know it's light years away from their masterpieces.

I picked up a Tush wallet off NoKipple.
It's beautifully made, and feels as though it would survive the zombie apocalypse unscathed. Though what you'd need a wallet for without money is a different question, I suppose it could double up as a bludgeon.
Half of me loves it, and the other half thinks it's too feckin' big!
-
Thanks. I think that it's horsehide with tendon stitching. It's a beast.
I'm just trying to get over the size issue, and the temptation to get the IH silver motorcycle chain to dangle it off…
-
I've eyed up that wallet on many an occasion. I'm glad you picked it up, it is definitely a thing of beauty.
-
Not to mention hideously expensive! (But truly glorious)

I've been using this Kawatako card case for a few weeks now and I love it. I can hold 4 cards (2 each on the outside slits) and a few bills and receipts on the middle pocket.

I was chatting to one of the guys in American Retro yesterday, and he mentioned he'd got a wallet by Baldwin. I've got a feeling it was made from goatskin.
The company is UK based, and pretty new. Everything is handsewn, prices seem reasonable, and they even do an iPhone wallet in a Redmoon style. It's the second photo down.

Look pretty decent!

What's up, here's my John Faler made (or Faler Brand) mid length wallet in Horween's Natural Essex. I had originally told him that I wanted a mid wallet in natural vegetable tanned leather, but, he said he had had several wallets made from nvt leather in the past and that Horween's natural Essex kill's it, especially as it evolves. He told me several times that he thought I my expectations would be more than exceeded if I were to let him make me a wallet. Was he ever right. This wallet is perfection and I am by no means easy to please. I can find something wrong with anything, except this wallet. The natural Essex is buttery soft and smells like the shoe dept. in Belks Dept. store, lol. I absolutely love it. If anyone reading this is thinking about getting a new wallet, I highly suggest you email John Faler. He responds quickly and his work is better than most in my opinion. The whole transaction was flawless and I couldn't be happier. Here's my wallet after about a week of wear. I've had it for around a month, but, there's only been a few occasions where I could wear jeans. I included a couple of my favorite watch too, hope ya'll don't mind! Thanks!

Here are a few more pics of my Faler Brand wallet in Horween Natural Essex leather. This leather is so awesome. I think it's fairly new to the leather world. It's cowhide that has been given the same treatment process as Shell Cordovan and it is AMAZING. These pics are after about a week of actually wearing my wallet. I've had it for around a month, I've just only had the opportunity to wear jeans for about a week, so that's why I'm saying these pics are after about a week of actually wearing. Sorry about the quality. All I have to use, camera wise, is my phone. I couldn't hold still enough on a couple of them
but, you can still get the gist of what I'm trying to show. John Faler really has a gift.
