IHG-02 - Medium Cordovan Wallet - Black, Ox Blood & Natural
-
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!
-
So great. Thanks @DeeDee85 my wife said the same thing. She said iron heart probably know this and sent the coin. You a ramones fan?
-
@deanclean I am! My name is Dean though, which eventually shortened to D, or Dee and my best mate calls me Dee-Dee
I weirdly prefer the later Ramones stuff, I wanna live.. something to believe in.. pet semerary.. poison heart etc.. are you a fan? -
@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.
-
@deanclean oh now I am jealous! I’m 38 so never got to see them unfortunately..

Thanks @DrPat I’ll leave it alone
-
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?
-
@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!
-
@Oaktavia that’s cool. I wasn’t sure if it would be orange on the other colours or something different. Good to know.
-
@Alex, I'm very curious if you have now found out from which tannery Iron Heart (Calf Leather) gets its Cordovan leather?
-
@Alex, If you would like to do this one of these days I would greatly appreciate it.
-
Imma guess it’s Leder Ogawa. Whatever it is, it’s pretty great.
