im in a monogamist relationship with my redmoon

[davito]

I am switching between my IH-SW black and my Rising sun x Blackacre collabo Trucker wallet one off piece in tan horsehide

[davito]

Rising sun x blackacre Trucker wallet, butterfly shape, 8inches tall. mine is one of the one offs in tan horsehide, a great piece

Those white or black painted Redmoons have me smitten… Was on 2nd this morning and the price is right too! Very tempting....

I am between buying this or another watch. I can't make up my mind!

davito that wallet is stunning

[Graeme]

Can someone buy the white Redmoon before I get too tempted?

[Graeme]

You went full Liberace, man. Never go full Liberace…

[davito]

Those white ones are truly beautiful

Thx nate yes very happy with it

I'll go ahead and be in the minority on these white wallets. I think they're gaudy and effeminate. YMMV, etc.

[seanocono]

You're not in the complete minority there, Klein. I'm usually a Redmoon fan, too.

[tatmantall]

I'm wondering how if the black will age like old aniline dyed boot… If so that appeals to me even more

[Graeme]

My guess would be that the black painted wallet won't show up the dirt in the same way that the white one would, but would end up looking something like this watch strap. The matte finish is likely to polish to a shine too with wear.

There'll be more contrast on the concho than on the white.

[tatmantall]

Ugh… Damn I was hoping someone would say it will just stay solid black do the temptation would go away

[Graeme]

Hey, we're all enablers here.

[Graeme]

Anyone know anything about Bead-Ya?

They do a very cute Cordovan purse / card case that I'm taken by. Unfortunately it's on the wrong side of stupidly expensive…

I found a picture of a couple of well loved Redmoon wallets on Megumi Goto's blog.

He adds, and I'm paraphrasing this from the Googlish auto-translation, that the thread is intended to fail first so that it doesn't damage the leather. That might explain some of the complaints about stitching, or it might be just Goto-san covering himself.

Speaking of stitching, the Crow wallets look very tidy.

That's from the Crow C15AN, which I'm very taken with. And 2ND offer it in red…
