      @BenThereDoneThat:

      Got a Vitme mid wallet from Thailand just a few days ago, all in Italian veg tan leather! four card slots, a "hidden" slot, a full length pocket under an extra card pocket for my IDs, and a zipper portion for coins.

      Can't wait to see it evolve… Hopefully with time this stiff leather will close flatter. How long did it take anyone else's mid length wallets to close down easily?

      (they have an option to stamp it)

      Very nice - just carry it as often as possible, exposing the wallet to sunlight and occasional  rain drops…Don't be afraid to handle her with not so clean hands, as the oils in your fingers help the natural darkening process.

            Does anyone have the black version of the wild child wallet? Looking at getting one of these, but am uncertain to go for the tan or the black.

            I'm curious to see how the black patina's and if there is any indigo transfer as well.

            Thanks.

                Freaking gorgeous. I must own that soon. I like the black one though.

                  Thanks. I loaded it back up and am going to use it again. It's much more convenient than my long Tanner wallet. I can't find any pictures of how the black would age. Not sure if it's the same leathers or not.

                        @QuantumMechanic maybe this will help you decide. The black is just gonna be black.

                          I'm debating on either getting a new black version of this, or the mid length flat head this spring. Decisions decisions.

                          I never noticed the different details on the black one until you mentioned it filthy. Were you able to handle it at all?

                            Yeah I saw/held the black one. It's much larger and impressive than I was thinking. I was thinking before. "There's no f'n way I'm spending  $450 on a wallet!" Then I held it and was like, "it's so nice I've gotta have it."

                              I'm having a hard time deciding on what lanyard I'd buy with it now. There really needs to be one with vegetables tanned leather and copper shackles and furnishings.

                                  It's getting so dark… few scratches now, still haven't oiled or conditioned it yet. Doesn't seem to need it.

                                        Really great belt evo. Love seeing the photographer's reflection(Sam?) in the silver studs. Great shots.

                                          The natty tan belts really do wear in incredibly, mines 3.5 years old now and it's transformed. Love the pimpage btw…
