IHG-03 - Long Shell Cordovan Wallet - Black Or Oxblood

@Chesson:

@neph93 Ever wonder why jeans have two back pockets…? For two wallets of course!

It’s not that I wouldn’t use it… it’s just that owning two wallets that are almost exactly the same, but cost that kind og money seems… extreme.

@neph93 …but in your defence, and being the traveller that you are.  You need one for Pounds and one for Kroner.  How else could you keep them straight, and you don’t really want to make those mistakes when you’re on a trip…

And, if - God forbid - you were mugged, they’d never expect you to have two wallets!

Anyone mugging me would be in deep shit. Getting clobbered with one of these is about as fun as being hit in the head with a brick.

@Chesson
What about the measurements?
Would like to compare to the mid wallet .

General rule of thumb is that mids are around 6”/15cm and longs come in around 7.5”/19cm. Width and bulk are more or less the same.

@Daniel San

IHG-03: Length 7.5” (19cm), depth 3.5” (8.9cm) and thickness 1.4” (3.5cm)
IHG-02: Length 6” (15.4cm), depth 4” (10.3cm) and thickness 1.3” (3.3cm)
IHG-01: Length 4.5” (11.5cm), depth 3.5” (9cm) and thickness 1” (2.6cm)

All seem to get progressively bigger apart from the depth on the 03 which drops down a bit compared to the 02.

@Chesson:

thickness 1.4” (3.5cm)

Pretty sure this is one of the occasions when the alternative spelling is appropriate…

Very nice craftsmanship. Does anyone know what tannery the cordovan and calf leathers came from? Thank you for your time and have a stupendous day  :o

If I asked Haraki, his response would be "why does it matter, it does the job that I designed it to do"….

But probably somewhere in Himeji....

[mclaincausey]

I think there may only be a few cordovan manufacturers. I have an old IH-MW and the quality of the leather, Cordovan and otherwise, is excellent. I wouldn’t worry about it.

[Ghost-Cut]

Thank you, @Giles. I wanted to know the background of my wallet. Also, thank you for your insight, mclaincausey Ox blood on the way

@Ghost-Cut this is a beast, can't wait for you to get your hands on it.  The oxblood cordovan is incredible!

[Ghost-Cut]
