Wallets, Chains, and Reins

@Oaktavia if not having tea core isn’t a deal breaker, Ewing Dry Goods (EDG) located in Juneau Alaska has some very nice, well crafted black vegetable tanned braided lanyards. I personally haven’t purchased a lanyard from them as of yet, but have purchased other items and was pleased with the quality and customer experience. [ewingdrygoods.com]

@Oaktavia I haven't.

There's a page about placing an order on their website, which suggests that the form is more of an enquiry, after which they'll supply a price and delivery time.

Maybe drop them an email (there's an address on their homepage) and see what they come back with.

I like their Handy Wallet, but I've never tried getting one. You can be the guinea pig for placing an order!

@Graeme I edited my post below. I sent in a request.

@John-Galt oh yes I know if this guy. If this Japanese brand does not work out, I'll check him out again. Thanks!

[Graeme]

@Oaktavia let us know how it goes.

@Oaktavia i have the natural braided lanyard from Ewing dry goods and it’s been awesome. I’ve had it a few months now.

I ended up hitting up Ewing Dry Goods and he hit me back right away. I was originally going to ask him if he could do a black teacore wallet leash but then I saw a turqouise leather roll in one of the recent photos he posted. I asked him if he could make a leash from that and he said he could so check this out:

I also asked him if he could add something from nature and he said he had some antler. I am so stoked on this. I asked about the other beads and he said this:

Two long ones are elk antler, solid brass (uncoated to patina), and an antique turquoise trade bead.

Looking so forward to wearing it with my IH mid wallet. I mean look at this thing it's fecking TURQUOISE! I'm over the Moon with how it turned out. Thought I would share as he was recommend here and by several folks on Instagram. Dude is legit.

@Oaktavia it's really gorgeous Steve, I'll contact him too I really like both the color and the beads on the fringes, it's simply gorgeous congratulations

[Graeme]

@Oaktavia I was hoping you'd go with Leatherwork Brothers, but that leash is probably cooler than anything they make!

I'm looking forward to seeing how it ages.

[ZackB]

@Oaktavia man that thing looks amazing. I’ve never hit him up for something custom but I definitely will now. I’ve had nothing but good interactions with them and I’m glad you had the same experience. I’m curious how that will patina over time.

[Luijim78]

I wrote to him this morning, I want the same one in black leather Teacore, let's hope it's possible

[Oaktavia]

@Graeme yeah me too and I still may grab one if/when they hit me back up. Either that or a second one from Ewing.

[Oaktavia]

@ZackB he's super cool man I really like his stuff. His page is full of amazing goods. I particularly like his phone buddy pouch made from teacore horsehide.

[ZackB]

@Oaktavia yeah that is dope too. I have the gentleman’s billfold in zombie green, just olive over dyed black. Had it since August and I’m loving it so far. I’m curious how that turquoise will age. Great pickup

[Oaktavia]

@ZackB nice hell yeah that's rad. I'm curious how the turquoise will age too. Can't wait for it to get here.

[Luijim78]

I ordered a gorgeous black Teacore cord from Ewing Dry Goods, ever since I saw the picture of Steve's I knew I couldn't live without it

[ZackB]

Here is my gentlemen’s billfold from Ewing dry goods. Had it since the end of August. It’s been great so far.

[Luijim78]

good morning my friend, here is the cord (amazing in my opinion ) that the legendary made for me Ewing Dry Goods ( Thank you so much Steve for the advice )

[ZackB]

@Luijim78 looks awesome. Hope you don’t mind if I use your idea.

[Oaktavia]

@Luijim78 I saw he posted this to his Instagram, it looks awesome! I might get the same one too so that I have one for each pair of jeans I wear. Easier to just switch the wallet than both wallet and leash.

[Luijim78]

Good morning dear friends, the Ewing Dry Goods wallet cord has finally arrived, I like it very much and I'm already thinking about getting a new wallet
