Really love my IH-party bracelet. This thing has some awesome patina.

I love how you can see on the edges where I got tons of motor oil on it working in "the pit."

That bracelet looks great joesaintjohn!!  Nice work!

(completely off topic: I spent 5 years as a Toyota tech, I am very familiar with the view in the last pic!!  )

Evo on my redmoon short wallet.
purchased mid-december 2012 and used daily since.

Is this my favorite possession?

Let me think about it.

It's at least top 1 til them boots come in.

Actually no idea what the black is, stress/wear I assume. Denim being worn daily yet it grows. Interesting 'evo'.

4 months now;

How do you guys keep your wallets so clean?!! Mine was natural veg tan when I got it in December and it has pretty much turned completely indigo now. Don't get me wrong I love the dark patina mine has taken on but its interesting how clean these have stayed despite being harbored in your denim (I assume) I live the look of natural veg tan clean as well.

Could be lined pockets?  That could make a difference on half of the wallet

[Snowy]

Yeah I wear my wallet in my front left pocket, so very little denim action.

My Leatherkraft long wallet for 11 months now.
Been lazy to clean them,the indigo from IH and Momo now seems hard to remove.

Here are some pictures of a belt I've had for perhaps 25 years. If memory serves me correctly (and it probably doesn't) I bought it around 1988 and it has never been treated with any leather preservatives.

Nice man, impressive that its lasted this long! The funny thing to me is that on this forum we convince ourselves that shit isn't going to last unless we spend a lot of money and yet here is a perfectly good example of something I'm guessing you didn't spend too much on going for over 2 decades. Well done!
