IHG-035-TAN - Calf Folding Wallet - Tan
-
Third year into this wallet and still going strong!
-
I'm trying to decide between the cordovan and calf versions of the 'small', slimline wallet (no coin pouch) -- same design, just different leathers and prices. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who has owned one or both regarding how they compare over time.

Great thread and pictures. Interesting how the tan seems to be preferred over black -- I'm sure both are great.
Anyone compared these beautiful calf IH wallets to the same design in cordovan?

The natural shell cordovan is new to us, first products made from it released in December or so last year, so no one will have good real life experience of how they age comparatively. New, they have a very different look, shell cordovan being shinier.
@Graham had the sample IHG-02-NAT so he should have the natural cordovan with the most milegage on it and will share progress pics later today

Beautiful Graham -- thanks (you too Alex). I saw an older oxblood cordovan wallet on the forums that had seen a lot more use (12 years, if I recall). There were some spots where the cordovan shell (or oxblood dye) was wearing through to the underlying tan leather. I'd guess this would be less obvious with natural cordovan over time, but it's, in part, what prompted the question of how cordovan wears vs. calf. Only time will tell, but I'm sure both will look great, and wear like ... iron

Haven't had it long but some update pics after 2 months. Love that indigo is rubbing off on it.
