IHG-02 - Medium Cordovan Wallet - Black, Ox Blood & Natural

DeeDee85

@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?

deanclean

@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.. ~~strikethrough text~~

deanclean

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?

deanclean

@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

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

deanclean

@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

@Rick62 No, I have not. Sorry

Rick62

@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.

Rick62

@mclaincausey It is beautiful, but more information is welcome.

Hey ya'll, new member on the forum.

Quick question on the Wallets, here is a photo of mine. I have had it for sometime and not sure how to prevent this from spreading:

I am not sure what causes this on the wallet or if it's even natural for them to do so, but I figured I would ask for tips/tricks to either fix or prevent the spread.

Cheers
