    I like this OGL cardholder a lot, but the natural leather had a glaze or something on it and doesn’t seem to pick up oils like other veg tans I’ve had. I took a deglazer to it and it brought out some cool imperfections I couldn’t see before. Now I can see the cows vascular system. I like it. The stitching on one corner came out so I did a shit home fix. Should hold. Still really like this.

      @WhiskeySandwich ah man that's interesting — I've got one of their belts in natural and have always thought the evo of it was a little boring because it's, like you say, treated with something. What's the stuff you used? Might do the same to my belt, wouldn't mind at all if it looked a bit more rugged.

        @popvulture I used an old washcloth and scrubbed the hell out of it with this:IMG_3675.jpeg

          Afterwards I lubed it back up with some leather balm from Mr.Lentz. Have yet to see much coloring but it’s only been a few days. My Mr. Lentz leather stuff is awesome though. This wallet was the same color when new and darkened way faster after a couple months. This is like 3 years tho.

            Hell yeah, I'm into it. My belt just seems almost plastic-y at the moment. Not that bad, but just like... looks too uniform to be leather.

                      @gouki74 where'd you learn leatherwork? I bought a book on it recently but haven't been good about diving in and starting to try stuff. Seems like a lot of fun. Main reason I got curious is because I can't find a leather bag I like, so figured I might as well learn some stuff and maybe one day be able to make one.

                        @popvulture I began 2 years ago by doing small things on my own and I made more and more difficult pieces until now.
                        Now i make bags, wallets, belts, for those who want to have special pieces because I don't like making the same stuff other and other...

                        If you want or need tips or advice, send a DM, I'll be happy to help. 😉

                            Thank you guys!, The deglazing look amazing! Thank you for using them!

                            I'm Johnny from OGL, would like to take the opportunity to highlight the reason for us to have a strong coat polished on lighter leather color in our products.

                            Pre-2018, when we produce light color leather goods, we face some issue of customer complaining not receiving goods of color they ordered.... apparently the product color age quite a bit with causes it to have different tone.

                            Natural light color Veg tan like always, will aged when it's expose, non wrap or non covered, so in order for us to produce them in large qty, and maintaining the same color as the one shown in the picture on all partners website, we decided to add a strong top coat to slow the process of aging.

                            Hope our explanation helps!

                              @Scasi thank you for confirming! That is a very understandable design decision. I do love the wallet and the quality of the leather. I’m pleased with the results of using the deglazer and reconditioning it, but I get why people might complain about colors changing or inconsistencies.

                                I am looking to purchase a new braided wallet cord...anyone off the top of their head have a couple or few recommendations? I like natural veg tan but considering a black one too. I have been wearing one from Red Hills Co since the start of the pandemic and would like a freshy.

                                  @Oaktavia I’ve been looking for a long time for one like yours from Red Hills. I saw somebody on Etsy making quality looking ones but ended up making my own. If I can find some real nice veg natural I could make you one. No promises but I could try as an experiment. Still trying to dial these in. I found a spot that has nice solid brass hardware selection. It’s tricky finding good leather in the right thickness.

                                    @WhiskeySandwich right on dude, that looks nice! I'm kind of leaning towards a black one, especially after seeing Filthy rocking his.

                                        Does the deglazer seem bring the leather back to its “natural” state so it can patina nicely? I’m thinking of buying the OGL natural garrison belt but I’m on the fence after reading this. Thanks in advance!!

                                          @pjroo33 It did seem to strip the coating off, dried it up a bit but i lubed it back to healthy. It's been a couple months and its getting color quicker now, but still slow. I love the wallet and rock it daily, but frankly, its the slowest natural leather I've ever had to build a patina. BUT, it does look excellent IMO, i like it just how it is.
