@tobacco:

No website, his email address is s_willis@rocketmail.com. To be honest, you're probably better off going through Corter or Obigood and contacting them about it.. I had an Unlucky wallet and I was pretty underwhelmed by it.

What's wrong with it?

Ive just had a look at the wallet in the link and i can see why you would be underwhelmed.

The stitching looks very poor!

its handmade!

[Seul]

That doesn't justify poor craftsmanship.

I've got to agree with Seul.  Take a look at any of the TFW Wallets and any of the IH wallets and examine the stitching on them, and they're hand made too, here's an example:

That's stitching…...

Stitching isn't the best, the wallet laid weirdly when folded like one side was crooked or something.. It developed a strange patina, the leather he used seemed kind of low quality so the patina ended up looking more like dirty cow stretch marks..

Nicholas (Hollow's Leather) does some great work… Used to have some of his handmade leathers... His stitching used to be a bit iffy, but is really top notch these days!..

You can check tons of his work here:

Alright guys, I think i should support my local guys from Obbigoodlabel or JK SOH from 310 woodland(Local Store). JK Soh is also the master artisan of Obbigoodlabel, and his craftmanship is rather good.

Might be interested if you're selling it, feel free to send me some pictures if you decide to.

I've had the Shell cordovan wallet for awhile.. And i'm kinda curious why the decision to use YKK for the zippers , I had this notion that YKK was frequently used for "decent" quality goods.

its a japanese brand!

Here are a couple of Bob's pix I found on photobucket. Please help me identify his denim shirt brand and model from those, thank you

[Beatle]

superblack bootcut ?

[Giles]

Yep.  IH-9461Z.  I had them on the old site, not on new yet.  Giles

[Beatle]

he can pull it off…thanks for quick answer..

[arrow]

I would be very pleasantly surprised if anyone can actually id the denim Bob wore.
But yeah… can't forget about the man.  He rocked denim in almost all of his concert footage.

[Seul]

That ain't cotton- I'm sure it's hemp-made.

So up until now I have only owned IH shirts and no jeans.  I want to get a pair, but dont know which to order.  Fit wise, what is IH's slimmest fitting jean that could be compared to maybe an APC New Standard or something like that?

any insight is greatly appreciated.  thanks all!
