That Red Moon looks fantastic. Any details you can share about it?
The new one looks good too I must say.

I really haven't ever done much to maintain the old one. I have used Obenauf's LP on it about once a year. After it dries, I then brush it. But that's about it. Just used and taken care of the best I can
The new one is already wearing in nicely. It's starting to take on some color now and has flattened out like it should. The only bummer was that I ordered it with a leash attachment but they forgot to add it. Rather than send it back to Japan, I added a brass grommet myself. It is bigger than what they use deliberately, so that it has wider flanges to overlap the leather further and make it stronger. They usually use nickel or chrome, so the brass I used looks much better IMHO. I've also since replaced the oval Red Moon jump ring with a heavier, round brass one.

^ that is smashing. Really a very cool wallet. If you ever have the time I’d love to see it up against some worn denim.
For contrast

Thanks, I think so too. Def different than the rest. Dan is also making them in mint ghost which is also really cool.

@johanhej here are a few I like.
@Megatron1505 has (or had) a nice card case by Tush, but the online store is currently down so it might be tricky to get one.

This one is my Tush card case, beautiful work.
-
I have the same er…Tush as Gav and it is really a great wallet. Would recommend it to anyone.

For as long as I can remember I have swooned over owning a The Flat Head Wild Child wallet, and today…
I've read so much 'don't do this…Do this' online regarding conditioning and treatment of veg tan leather that I think I'm just going to leave it as is and just use the damn thing! Neats Foot Oil seems to be the favourite. Most other animal derived oils and balms contain naturally occurring sugars that aren't good for leather and are bacteria factories.
What are you guy's views? (I know, the subject has been covered a million times)
-
I don’t really have «views» other than it’s good to use some kind of oil on your leather to stop it drying out.
Mink oil, beeswax based product, olive oil I’ve used them all.
My IHxSE IHB-01 was veg tanned. It has seen four years of constant usage and all I’ve done is use mink oil on it twice and it is in tip top state (it needs another go now though).
I think it is very easy to overthink this kind of thing and a lot of folks in the wider denim community fall into that trap. The gods know I have, although I’m trying to avoid it these days.
Regardless, that is a truly stunning wallet. Congratulations.
I almost went for TFH mid length before I got my IH mid. I now prefer long wallets and both TFH and IH long wallets are next level expensive. Over 1000USD for the IH version. Out of my league these days.
