IHG-02 - Medium Cordovan Wallet - Black, Ox Blood & Natural
-
No idea. I'd pick a few up if i was in Japan anytime soon but I'll get no closer than Portland, Oregon this year.
Well it's down to yours or the FH from Self Edge. I never imagined choosing a wallet would be so difficult! -
Boom…
(That was the sound of my will power collapsing under the weight of this wallet).
Bam, you're gonna love it.

I hope so. I have to admit I'm a little apprehensive about how I'll feel with regards to the $:enjoyment ratio. I came into a bit of cash and it was this or another pair of Wesco's. My boot game is up to scratch while my wallet collection is poor and that's what swung it.
I was also looking hard at TFH's veg tan mid which is cheaper, and I love veg tan. I ended up going with this because a. it's IH, and b. I figure if G-san needs to sell these at $800 there's a reason for that.

I get your concern completely. However when you take into consideration the materials (cordovan, silver, the best leather, and sinew), the intricate design, and exquisite finishing I think you'll agree that you're holding one of the finest wallets in the world. I am a certified wallet nut and this is the crown jewel of my collection.

I purchased one and it is a thing of beauty. The quality is there and the finish is fantastic. I always think if you buy and use these things then they are great value for money as they give pleasure and a feel good factor on a daily basis. They are only expensive if you don't use them.

@Anesthetist I think my concern is born of the fact that this will be a big jump up from my usual kit. I've never actually held or touched Cordovan, or really been up close with something of this quality. When I dropped a similar sum on my custom boss I'd already owned some 2nd hand Wesco's and Viberg's so I knew what I was buying. This is more a leap of faith.
@Tempvs I like the way you think. There is no doubt it will get used. I've use a wallet of similar proportions but much baser quality already, so this will be an everyday companion, no doubt.
Cheers, fellas.

Holy shit…
So the wallet arrived. I don't quite know what to say. I can't get my head around the quality of the thing. It's ridiculous but I'm actually struggling to fill it with cards and cash and put it in my pocket. I feel like it should be put in a glass case and only taken out to be stroked and sniffed once a year
One thing for sure, I need to source a new leash/chain of suitable quality and beauty. My IH brass chains are great but a little too heavy duty for this wallet (ironically enough). Suggestions welcome!

There about as good as it gets I think.

Haha, yeah. But no.
I don't know why but I thought that was extinct. Regardless of the price point, and as beautiful as it is, I'm after something a little more subtle. Either thinner or shorter so that I can use the belt loop by the patch on the back. Those silver key chains IH used to do from the same links would work I think.

You could always get @Obbigood to make you a very simple, sleek rounded edge leather reign with a hook. Similar to the Flat Head ones like this - he might even be able to source a similar leather to the wallet.

In danger of engendering thread rot here (could be placed in the leash thread or the First World Problems thread [emoji23]) but the silver ring on the wallet makes me want silver hardware on the leash/chain and the wallet is oxblood so black leather is a no-no. I do like vegtan leashes but mine always end up a fugly blue/brown. Because crocking.
There a few items in the extinct hardware list that would have been ideal. I'm not in a great hurry. The current set up is acceptable until IH come up with something awesome.

Can the links of the IHSI-01 be removed to shorten, @Giles?
If not, potential new product; IHSI-01-short

Not by mere mortals…..We made this once upon a time, in fact it may still be sold in Japan, but the clasp kept failing, so I stopped stocking it:

Ah yes! I forgot about the key chain.

That would be the one I'd fancy
️Although possibly not by the sounds of things.
This would also have been a great solution https://www.ironheart.co.uk/extinct/ih-ssc.html

What a beautiful thing!
