@aetherist Due to frequent handling, friction, sunlight, and everything else a wallet has to face, the materials and colors will definitely change in the medium and long term, I think.

@aetherist Very cool that you've realized this project! It would be fascinating to see how these different materials fade and interact over time with regular use. If you'd like, feel free to show the wallet's interior as well.

The last price adjustment - 650 € !

TriFold Wallet in Natural VegTanned Premium Calf Skin

Over the last few days, I've been revisiting a project I started over half a year ago. I wasn't entirely satisfied with it, and then put it aside because other projects came up. Now the TriFold has achieved "showcase status." It features six slip pockets and a large bill compartment, shown here in 1.5 mm premium calfskin, entirely handcrafted and finished with Ritza Tigre thread using a saddle stitch. Of course, it can also be made in other leathers, colors, and customized, for example, with personal initials. If you have any questions or requests regarding this model, please feel free to contact me

@JunkPants

Small tote made of 2.2 mm thick European cowhide. The straps are made of 4.5 mm thick cowhide, all purely vegetable-tanned. Rivets from Osborne, USA. Thread: 0.8 mm Ritza Tigre Thread.

The bag is suitable for all genders and, at 27 x 29 x 12 cm, offers enough space for everything you regularly carry in your everyday life, yet is compact enough not to be too heavy or impractical. I've been using one of this for a full year now, and it's proven itself in constant use.

@denim-dawg Looks super great! I'd love to hear what it smells like!? You already got my vote.

@indigostiff To each their own, right? I've been using Red Wing Leather Cream on all my shoes for a long time, so I still had a large supply, so choosing this care product was ultimately a natural choice. It has noticeably restored the leather's vitality and durability, as well as a slight silky shine. And I didn't skimp on the application, but I also let it soak in for a long time.

The final flats for RRY3. My records show 222 days of wear within a year. A few weeks ago, I decided to treat the shirt with Red Wing Leather Cream, which, as expected, didn't darken it. However, the sun over the past few weeks has tanned it a bit...

I'll post the flatlays in a few days. The shirt doesn't look quite as spectacular there. I'm also surprised at what you can achieve with the photography guideline that was shared during the challenge.

@Mister_Brue Until recently, I never took the time to read Denimhunters' photography tips. I finally did for the requested highlights of recent submissions, very surprised by the results.

For the final round of RRY3, I took a few highlight photos for the first time...
