Anyone out there wearing this daily? I have been wearing mine for the past few days and definitely feel it's thickness on my cheek after sitting for a while.

Does the wallet mold to your behind?

Did any of you just get used to it after a while?

It is a unit for sure. It does mould to you but it will always be about an inch thick. And you do get used to it.

Okay cool thanks Reuben.@Filthy:

Putting mine back in rotation. Here are the pics as promised. The Cordovan is insanely good. Very hard wearing, and retains it shine.

You can see how it has curved.

Looks awesome @neph93 thanks for sharing. I am using a similar looking cord with mine too. Switched it over after trying the brass chain that was a little much, even for me.

Is there a way or a product I can use to remove the white coating (or whatever it is?) from the black leather on my wallet? I've only tried warm soapy water so far.

@Alex
@Giles
Just saw this
what’s correct? stainless or silver ?
on newer pics it looks like stainless steel ?

[Giles]

It's silver - sorry for the inconsistency - Thanks for spotting....

After I posted this question I looked online to find how to treat what I think was white powdered mold of some kind eveywhere inside my wallet. Most solutions suggested white vinegar, dish soap, baking soda and warm water and buffing the leather with a microfiber towel. With some elbow grease, I thought I removed it. Used Saphir leather conditioner afterwards.

It keeps coming back though, evey few weeks. I don't see as much of it but it's enough to notice. Does anyone know how to prevent it from happening?

@Oaktavia I didn't see your original post, but there's a chance this is just "spew" - oils in the leather migrating to the surface and crystallising. You could try giving it a good brushing next time it comes back.

[Daniel San]

Is it only on the inside calf leather?
You could try the saphir leather cleaner , it’s mild and not aggressive to the leather.

[Oaktavia]

@ARNC I was thinking this might be the case actually...I'll try brushing when/if it returns.

@Daniel-San I'll try this too thanks for the idea and yes it's only on the calf inside leather. The shell is not showing anything but normal wear and tear.

I’m pumped for this natural wallet. Looks so nice. Just have to find the $ now! May have to get rid of the Wild Child one.

[KDakota]

Any examples of what worn in natural will look like?

Also - You guys should offer some nice quality leather tethers for these (with clasps at both ends). The bass chains are cool and all, but sometimes they’re just a bit too much, and they also bounce around too much if you’re walking around all day.

Going to look exactly like this, just longer

We used to do wallet leashes, unfortunately the factory that made them for us closed, and we couldnt find another one at the time. I'll add it to my mental list of things I try to make happen again and again, though. It's definitely a good suggestion

[KDakota]

@Alex Thx! I’d love to buy a couple of the medium cordovan wallets with matching tethers.
