Wallets, Chains, and Reins

@Autorotate these are absolutely stunning, great post

I will be the first one to point out that wallet collecting in the dumbest thing in the world. These days - and through our fine host specifically - you can literally buy one wallet and use it for a life time.
That said, I really like opening my wallet drawer (every few weeks) and switching things up. Just like NATO straps on watches and sunglasses - variety is the spice of life. YMMV.

@Autorotate I probably have 30 but since I bought my GAH wallet the rest sit in my wallet drawer.

@RoxRocks86 shared the secret of BWeiss Leather after I spotted her beautiful wallet. I reached out wanting something similar to the GAH Navy Surplus, but with a few more features to make me feel a bit better about parting with $1.5k…
Brandon was great and worked with me to bring my design to reality. I used my current everyday wallet as a starting point and shaved some stuff away. Brandon threw in some flare of his own and switched some of the pockets to be more in line with his style, and this is what we came out with!
Shinki shell cordovan.Natural buttero interior. Left pocket carry with Japanese nickle chain swivel. Inscription inside “Rumble Young Man Rumble” (a note to my son that I use in my journal/letters to him).
I’m absolutely in love! Brandon knocked it out of the park

Absolutely gorgeous build! Love the quote & how personal it is. Looks like a “one and done, pass it down” heirloom piece w/a kick.

@choco holy wow!! That wallet is freaking dope!! I’ve looked at BWeiss before and love that natural shell. Congrats on an absolute masterpiece.
I’m curious, how thick is that wallet? Could you share its dimensions please? Will it fit in your back pocket??
-
@Mizmazzle Thanks! He really knocked it out of the park from what I can tell in photos. It should be to me tomorrow, so I'll make a post about it!
I had it made using my current wallet as a starting point, so it should definitely fit in my back pocket.
5 3/8" tall
3.5" across (closed)
7" open -

@Brian Brandon killed it!

@choco if it weren’t for the fine folks of IH, wouldn’t have found him. It was a group effort
super happy for you & hope it’s everything you’ve wanted & more! -
This arrived by the Sea. After loosing my PTC card holder, I was in need of one and finally got this custom made one from OpenSea Leather.
-
I'm currently using this Tanner Goods card holder. I can keep it in my front pocket and not worry about where it is.
Now this wallet... I love it, but sometimes it's a bit much to use. The Tanuki Shell Cordovan long wallet.
If I sit for a long period of time, I have to remove it from the back pocket.
I don't see myself ever getting rid of it. It's pretty rare you see a wallet made of shell cordovan inside and outside.
Despite what I've said about my long wallet, I have my eye on a Redmoon long wallet
. Something to go along with my Y4 indigo invitational denim. -
@iamjustdanny damn. That Tanuki is a beauty! I’m looking for a mid length wallet myself.
