    @winterland:

    Been lurking for a while here haven't posted much. Almost bought a few items in classified but have been too slow. 
    I have been eyeing a new wallet for a while. Mine is falling apart. Cheap bonded leather.
    I had a wallet with a chain and wanted another as I lost my wallet many times before the chain. So it is not just because it looks cool. Looking cool is a bonus though.
    Have found a few places to get this and similiar styles. Some discussion here and also found quite a bit on your message board. The Iron Heart midlength wallet is beautiful but out of my budget.
    It was close between Leather Goods Connection and Don't Moan Organize Leather until I found an individual leather maker who had a style just like I wanted. Considered natural color but decided I wanted black with contrasting stitching with barbours linen thread. Hand waxed with beeswax. He had a few options of leather and after talking with him went with Herman Oak Bridle leather. I also considered Horween but it was more expensive and the Oak sounds like a great leather also. The brass D-ring is unique as I didn't see anyone else with this exact style.
    The best part is the price is very reasonable. Only took a week to get also. I like the midlength as it all fits in your pocket only the D-ring sticking out. It also has the same measurements as my old trifold wallet. 5 1/4" by 3 5/8"
    If anyone is looking for a wallet, I would highly recommend this craftsman. He makes a few styles and belts also.
    Here is his Tumblr page. http://blackyrock.tumblr.com/
    I can give his email also if anyone wants.
    Let me know what you think.

    Really like this and have sent them an email, thanks.

      I've been experimenting with the Stocard app recently. I don't tend to carry a lot of cards, but most of them seem to be for loyalty schemes. Storing them on my phone should allow me to slim down my wallet.

      The main problem is that barcode readers struggle with LCD screens, particularly the flat bed ones in a self-service checkout. However, my local supermarket has installed separate scanners in the self-checkout lanes for phones, so it'll be the lesser used cards that'll cause problems. But entering a number manually occasionally doesn't strike me as a great hardship.

      I'm going to shift to Android Pay in a few weeks when it arrives Down Under. That will allow me to store debit and credit cards securely, along with loyalty cards. It also sends both when you make a payment, thereby saving you scanning two bits of plastic at the checkout.

      Apple Pay has a similar feature set. I don't know if it allows you to store and display loyalty card barcodes though.

      In theory this should allow me to reduce the number of cards carried to three or four, and thus slim down my wallet significantly. I'm quite tempted by a combined card holder, coin purse and key case. Something like this one should work well.

          Herz also do a key case and coin purse, but it's a different design to the Pailot River model.

          There's also the Porter Yoshida 925 Key Case, which looks like a mini Red Moon wallet.

                    Can't see the new pics either, shows a minus sign.

                    Old pics are incredible though, fantastic wallet and probs for the evo.

                          Equus Leather are currently working on a new wallet.

                          The wallet pictured below belonged to Charlie's Grandfather and is at least 60 years old. It is slightly battered, having seen many better days, so we've decided to recreate the style into a new, useable wallet. It's still in its early stages, we'll photograph what happens throughout the creativity process, but hopefully the finished result will be a respectful nod to Charlie's Grandfather. Watch this space.

                          It's not going to be cheap, their Simple Wallet retails for £210. But I suspect it'll be a fantastic piece when done.

                                    Thanks for all the pics of the Wild Child @Snowy - I just got mine and was eager to see how it evolves.

                                        @Snowy - how long did it take for it to break in / settle down some?

                                        I love how substantial and heavily constructed the wallet is, but it's tough to get it out of my 666XHS back pocket right now.

                                          Probably about 2 months to be fully broken in.
