@Filthy25ozJunkie or @kiya ,
Does the TFH Wild Child wallet use cow tendon thread? The website doesn't specify (all the TFH wallets state they do). How do you feel it compares the IH wallet? Any chance of a side-by-side comparison shot?I love the look of the IH one but just don't see any need for the coin pouch. The mid-length version is glorious also but a bit too massive for me.

As far as I know the mid length does not. It looks like waxed and twisted polyester.
-
As far as size goes take the longest side of a regular bifold wallet and square it. The midlength is almost square.. Almost because the vertices are about .25" shorter.

Sorry, I should clarify… the TFH mid-lengths all say "waxed cow tendon thread." I was wondering if the Wild Child utilizes the same since the description doesn't mention the thread.

Thanks! So less rectangular than the IH folding wallet. And it sounds like it may be about half the thickness.

Manticore, I believe the Wild Child does use cow tendon thread.
As far as thickness, I can pm you pictures if you would like of the overall thickness once they break in.
The Wild Child wallets now use a special nylon thread that's designed for hand sewn wallets, it's over twice as strong as cow tendon thread, which is quite important if you're trying to keep a wallet for many years.

Nice I did not know this. Would my older one have cow tendon?
It's probably 3 years now. Thanks for the clarification.

That would be very kind of you - thanks!

If you're wallet was purchased after January of 2014 then the wallet was sewn together using the special nylon thread Flat Head uses. In the end, both types of constructional thread will last a long time, but the nylon thread has the potential to last 10 to 15 years of constant use without failure, which is quite impressive for a wallet of any kind.

Iron Heart's 10oz Indigo-Dyed Check Flannel, Loopwheeled Blank T-Shirts, & Restocks
Certain to be one of the fastest moving flannels of the year, Iron Heart's new 10oz indigo-dyed workshirt has just landed at our stores. The flannel has been woven at a small mill in Okayama and all the navy/blue parts of the pattern are made of pure indigo-dyed yarn. Over time the flannel's pattern will change slightly as the indigo starts to fade away.
We've also received a new run of heavyweight loopwheeled t-shirts. These are blank and are available in white or gray and go up to size XX-Large.
Along with these new items we've received restocks of Iron Heart's jeans, denim jackets, and vests.

Both are available now at all five Self Edge stores.

@kiya what white v-neck tshirt is your model wearing in the top pic, and what is the white tab looking thing hanging off his left sleeve?

That's an 8 year old Flat Head v-neck, and that thing hanging off is the folded ribbing that's coming off because the hem thread snapped.

Gotcha.

Popped into SEPDX and enjoyed talking shop. I little bit of stimulation overload as every inch of their shop is chalked full of goodies. The new Studio D'artisan hank dyed jeans are just jaw dropping denim–my words and photos fall so short:
