@grandmasterben:

I'll post pics soon. Everything looks good except there's a weird creaking noise if I bend the wallet….any suggestions??

Don't bend it

Veg tanned leather creaks

My cordovan IH-MW has got some signs of wear. My fat ass was really sweaty and now there's a dull denim imprint on the leather. I'm not sure what kind of treatment to give it to bring back that hard shell cordovan shine. Any ideas?

[grandmasterben]

Totally forgot to update. Anyway, she's as good as new with no more creaking !:)

Oh how I miss mine?

[crankyfart]

yours are ageing well grandmasterben. yours look so even and nice. mine on the other hand looks dirty.

the back have got some hints of indigo stains. while the front have got some dark areas which is probably caused by my cards and etc. used them since mid July 2012. applied mustang paste once before first use and another time after trying to clean off a pen ink stain.

No idea about removing the imprints but it's interesting to see how dark the cordovan looks in those pics.  It's almost black.

It's black shell cordovan, a type of leather made from the rump of a horse. It's also a color which was very confusing to me…

Got it.

your wallet looks good mate. imho the black actually looks good but my favourite is still the light brown one which is no longer in stock. that color is gorgeous!

Replaced the leash on my Manifold with the big black nasty IH one. 
BTW, if anyone needs a super nice high tech key light, check out Peak lights.  I've got a few and they work great.  I think the set up will work well for many years.

Can't wait to get my IH-MW & IH-FW back from Japan

[7tacos]

Back from Japan?  I've yet to read back on this thread…Did you get a repair?

[derivative666]

Yes both are being repaired

@derivative666:
