Just took possession of this leather bracelet and minimalist wallet–both custom and handmade from my friend @waxwing.leather (instagram handle). Too good not to share: super clean lines and rad choice of leathers.
Unexpected bonus: the bracelet is reversible by unscrewing brass stud and reinserting opposite!
Love supporting small local craftsman and dude is as nice as they come.
Stupid low pricing for the quality! Hit Jiten up if your in the market.

Veg tanned Horsehide Horween and veg tanned Italian cowhide. Japanese nylon threading...

Very nice.

Would love to see some more pics of the wallet when you have time

These are all his shots I've snagged from his IG account. The design for my wallet was a first for him: I gave him some basic parameters (minimalist, two-tone, horshide) but trusted his judgment on the details. Included a couple more shots of his past projects. He does this as a side passion and I've been super impressed with his work for years now.

Porter Yoshida horsehide zip key case with Good Art Belt loop buddy attached.

Tried various solutions for managing keys over the years and one day, I saw a chap walking down Carnaby Street in London who had a black leather pouch hanging from his waistband which I presumed was for keys.

This introduced an almost two year search for a horsehide key case that had a zipper opening. Eventually, found this Porter one from Japan. Had about three years of daily use and works great with the belt loop buddy, exactly what I wanted.

I really, really like how that's executed, @Cutlasshound. I also really, really like the OG MB pen you've got there. 1970s era?

Thanks mate, much appreciated.

Pen belonged to my late father. Think it was bought for him in the early to mid 80s. It was unused for about ten to fifteen years and when he passed away my Mum gave it to me. It still writes beautifully.

@Giles:

It's currently not made as a regular item I am afraid.  But I may be able to get some made.  We have sold a few over the last couple of years and seen no failures.

With both the bracelet and the wallet chain now made again, is it possible to special order the IH-KC?

[Giles]

We've never stopped making the wallet chain and the bracelet (we just run out from time to time).  We deliberately stopped taking the key chain because the spring mechanism failed too often.  H may still do it in Japan, it appears that the Japanese are less clumsy than us….

[dawei94]

Got it, I thought the spring was in the clasp, which is the same clasp used on the wallet chain? Anyways, if it’s the same clasp and links, would it be possible to order it?

[Giles]

There are none in Japan, so H may have stopped making them.  But whatever, we have never had a failure from a wallet chain, but we have had several from the key chain, so even if Haraki does make some more, I'm super-uncomfortable about selling them (which is about as no as I can get without actually saying no)….
