    I would be extremely cautious about that. Cordovan is packed full of juice already and rarely needs more. When it does, you want to be minimalist about it.

    Think it, be it.

      I used it on an older, used black one of these I bought secondhand. It was dry and thirsty, but I have not used any product on my new natural leather one. It does not need any help at all, at least for now.

        Yeah. Cordovan is stuffed with oil and it’s not a high maintenance product. It will not absorb some conditioners at all. If you overstuff it it’s one of the few ways you can actually damage the stuff. I’m not prepared to give any advice other than be careful and make sure you only condition as needed and with the right substances.

        Think it, be it.

          @mclaincausey good call, I generally do not use anything on any leather unless it physically looks dry and thirsty.

            I think that’s a good rule of thumb for all leathers.

            I wasn’t correct about how frequently to condition according to Horween (https://www.horween.com/blog/2018/4/6/shell-cordovan-care ), though to be fair a wallet gets way less abuse than shoes so probably don’t need to condition every 10-15 times you use your wallet. I haven’t conditioned mine ever and have had it over 10 years.

              Good info thanks. I got the natural one and it’s arriving today. I’ll probably just leave it alone for the time being.

                Best Christmas ever! Wife just gave me the wallet. Is it supposed to come with a coin? This was in the zipper pocket

                  @deanclean It is considered bad luck to “gift” someone an empty wallet, I’m not sure if this is just an English custom or it’s something that happens everywhere. Iron Heart will stick a Japanese coin in before posting for good luck and just goes to show how good the customer service is from these guys 😃

                    @DeeDee85 I was wondering why it came with a yen!

                          @DeeDee85 yup I’m a fan alright. They were one of those life changing bands for me when a buddy of mine first played them for me in high school. The Clash did the same thing to me. Managed to see the Ramones 6 times I think over the years before they called it quits. I’m 47 years old now and I’ve got other music tastes but still go back to the Ramones frequently. I’ve got everything from them on vinyl and love the sound of their early stuff on a record player. Merry Christmas (I don’t want to fight tonight) 😃

                            @deanclean I’ve had mine for 14 years, carry it every day, and have never treated it. The cordovan shows no signs of dryness.

                                  Out with the old and in with the new. Not sure what to do with the Wild Child wallet. It still has tons of life left in it. I never really liked the two tone colour. Tried giving it to my dad but he’s happy with what he’s using.

                                    @deanclean what’s the story with the Ramones sharpie printed on the wallet?

                                    In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                                      @Mizmazzle no story really. Just bored one day at work and the sharpie was sitting around. I also stenciled my last name on it. Still hasn’t completely worn off in the photo. I’m going to try my best to keep the sharpies and ink away from the new one!

                                        Just wanted to comment on the orange thread detail around the zipper on the natural wallet. I just noticed. Love it!

                                          It's rad I love it. On the black one, the colors remind me of Halloween.
