Wallets, Chains, and Reins
-
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.

Nice!

10 months in with the WC now, had the camera out, took some good snaps. It's really coming along!!!!
5 months, thought to snap a picture tonight;
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;

Keeping with the "Wild Child" theme, here is mine. Around four years old.
I love the styling and layout of the simple bill-fold with credit card slots. I must admit to be hunting around for a similar size wallet with the same basic layout but thinner.
I find the Wild Child wallet can sometimes be a bit thick and cumbersome when getting it out of your front jeans pocket. I will wait for the "tight wallet" jokes now I have queued them up nicely.

In a few months I will have an awesome contribution to this thread.
The WC is nice, but to be honest I found the vertical slots pretty cumbersome…

I find them practical. I open my wallet to use the RFID reader for sydney trains and know I can wave the wallet about without worrying about if the cards will stay put or not.

That Tush wallet looks super clean. Could I see some pics of the inside?

Since there's some Tush love going on, here's mine. It's horsehide with tendon stitching, and has a few months love. The lanyard is by North Sea Clothing.
@davito has the same internal layout in his wallet at mine does, and since @Anesthetist would ask…
It's a fantastic piece, but I find it a bit too big.

Interesting… I can see that, but question: has anyone ever had cards or bills fall out of their wallet?
What are you going after @grandmasterben ?

As usual, something flat head…. A billfold that hits all the criteria for me. Something that is surprisingly hard, I haven't seen another wallet that does that.. Just gotta wait a few more months!

I love those studded TFH billfolds

In all honesty, I have wallets to last me for generations. However, those Tush wallets look really good. I am still waiting to see what my insurance will be doing next year but if I sell some stuff I might look into a Tush cardcase or long wallet. Thanks to Davito & Graeme for posting pics, both pieces are beyond excellent! Only question is where to cop? I think Nokipple used to have them, I will start there….

Yeah some of the $200 local brand wallets, as well as Ralph Lauren. Not sure either was due to just the slot direction, however, seeing the slots on the W&C a direction that makes it impossible gave warm and fuzz

I found some wallets by a Russian brand last night.
They're all hand made and sewn, and the prices are reasonable too.
