Wallets, Chains, and Reins

Ok then it makes sense. My expectation is that the wallet turns dark brown and not indigo. If it turns dark brown like that I'm all in and won't worry about cleaning it.

Over time, the blue will indeed turn onto dark brown an black. But it takes a long time and doesn’t happen in a vacuum. You just have to use it as Giles says.

This one has been in service for the better part of 10 years. I love it more and more all the time.

@zhivago That looks also like the Patina through the Indigo. Definitely looks epic. My wallet is just a year old and I'm sure that it is going to go through the same transition.

So, I ordered a wallet from After Midnight that arrived today, and it's very beautifully made, but it was pretty obvious to me once I put it in my pocket that the long wallet / lanyard thing is maybe not for me. Kind of a sad realization, as I was pretty psyched to check it out. I guess it's just a reminder to me that if I get a gut feeling that something doesn't seem very me, that instinct is right about 99% of the time haha…
I'd been using a Tanner card holder for years, and I loved it so much that I ended up ordering a backup when I thought at one point that they were going to be discontinued (now it seems not the case, but hey, that's good news IMO). ANYWAY, my point — after deciding that the AM is not my thing, I figured I'd retire my old Tanner and bust out the new one. The evo is pretty striking:
I'm going to post the After Midnight in buy/sell sometime this week. If anyone's interested, ping me — it's a left pocket carry Medium Concealed Trucker in veg tan, brass hardware + lanyard.

After 10 years my old OGL wallet is falling apart. I'm looking for recommendations for a 6" wallet with coin pocket and lots of room for cards, nothing too long though. It seems like there's mainly long biker wallets, card holders or bifolds without coin pockets these days. I would prefer natural veg tan and to serve its purpose to store money it should not cost a fortune. Otherwise I'd be all over the IH mid wallet or a nice flat Head one. Thanks a lot for any hint, I'm not up to date anymore

I've been bouncing back and forth lately between picking up a newer larger wallet to carry all the things, or just goinging minimal and having a clip for some cash and a couple cards. It's easy during fall/winter because I always have coat pockets to put a wallet in, but during summer it's tough.

I have been carrying a back a lot lately, even for quick little trips where I won't need much. I just really despise having things in my pants pockets.

@Chap that would be exactly my choice, but is unfortunately out of the price range I'm willing to go

@Max Power have you looked in the Outlet, plenty of wallets in there might suit you.

@jonesy4885 thanks for hint, will have a look right away

Need to do some more digging, but been toying with the idea of upgrading my wallet for a year or two. Consideration more of my usage and preferences, I'm looking for a 4-5 slot card wallet with a cash slot in the middle. Preferably veg-tanned so it'll break into my use more intimately. Anyone have any recommendations?
I'm in the US.
Considering buying some leatherworking tools to do it myself, but reluctant to pick up another 'hobby.'

I dug a bit deeper and recalled Tenjin from all those old lightning mags. I really love the Mw01 and the Sw01. Does anyone know how to get these from Japan, besides a proxy?

Just finished up a new one. Vs 2+ years in rough out.

Anyone got a good full length/passport wallet recommendation?

I’ve been looking at wallets a ton lately. Like many others I grabbed the Wild Child one from Self Edge several years ago (or should I say my wife got it for me) I was a little disappointed when I got it and realized the picture of the one on the self edge website is a little different than the actual wallet. The one pictured on the site was lighter in colour which I really liked. I could have returned it I guess but it’s still a great wallet and have been using it daily for many years. I have been eyeing the Flat Head mid wallet. I really like the look of it but with it only having 3 card slots I don’t think that’s enough. Here’s a shot of my wild child one.

@bubbapest I just saw the Sweet Trade Port Over, which is sized to take passports. No idea what they're like, but the design looks good. It's showing up as out of stock, but I think that they largely do custom orders.
