IHG-015 - Cordovan Credit Card Holder

[mclaincausey]

I always assumed Haraki used a Japanese tannery but I'd love to know where the awesome cordovan and calf from the MW come from, though I assume trade secrecy.

@tigerpac:

Now that's a card holder!

comipel or horween or other G?

Neither comipel or horween. I believe it's from Shinki tannery in Japan. Very much same as their ox blood wallet.

[Giles]

Haraki does not know where the leather for any of the wallets comes from.  He does know the source changes from time to time.  All he cares about, is that the quality is what he specifies…..And interestingly, when I asked him the question, part of the answer was "Japanese people do not care about such things......"

[Toasted]

Does anyone have one of these?

[Giles]

Yes, because we have sold some…..

[Toasted]

I just wondered how they looked with wear or any user reviews … I was not questioning their saleability

I've been thinking about replacing my one of these http://www.ironheart.co.uk/hardware/ih-cch.html with this.

I'm trying to upload a picture of my worn in Calf Credit Card holder but Flickr isn't behaving. I'll do it tomorrow.

[Giles]

I know you weren't questioning there saleability, just alluding to the fact that there are some obviously shy guys out there….

[Giles]

Restocked….

[proton]

Nice!

[Giles]

Two new colour combos added…..

[Giles]

Black restocked…

Really liking the look of these. Any idea how many cards will fit into each slot? And I assume once broken it, it will fold to fit flat in the front pocket?

[Giles]

@Zirh I can only get one card per slot.  It'll flatten with wear, but I'm not sure it'll flatten completely…

@Giles, thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I need a card holder that will hold 8 cards. Will continue to shop around. In other news, my 21oz Busters are retired while my 634S is still going! Haha.

@Giles Does anybody know why the calf leather is used inside? Shell is great rought out too. And how thick the shell is? 3, 3,5 or 4 oz?
I would be grateful to you, Giles, and anybody who could share that information.

[Giles]

Does yours have calf inner, the ones I have just looked at here do not.

I don't know how much the leather weighs.

[aromer3gmail.com]

Thanks Giles. In the pictures it looks like it has calf interior. The thickness of the shell should be between 1 -2 mm, that what I mean. Anyway, I bought it:-)

[Giles]

I saw that you had bought - thanks.  I do not have one here with me, but I think it is at least 2mm thick….

[aromer3gmail.com]

Yeah, looks like around 2 mm. That's great, what I've been looking for.

Bought a black one yesterday, the last one actually. Will share the review as soon as I get it.
