Wallets, Chains, and Reins

@choco holy wow!! That wallet is freaking dope!! I’ve looked at BWeiss before and love that natural shell. Congrats on an absolute masterpiece.
I’m curious, how thick is that wallet? Could you share its dimensions please? Will it fit in your back pocket??
-
@Mizmazzle Thanks! He really knocked it out of the park from what I can tell in photos. It should be to me tomorrow, so I'll make a post about it!
I had it made using my current wallet as a starting point, so it should definitely fit in my back pocket.
5 3/8" tall
3.5" across (closed)
7" open -

@Brian Brandon killed it!

@choco if it weren’t for the fine folks of IH, wouldn’t have found him. It was a group effort
super happy for you & hope it’s everything you’ve wanted & more! -
This arrived by the Sea. After loosing my PTC card holder, I was in need of one and finally got this custom made one from OpenSea Leather.
-
I'm currently using this Tanner Goods card holder. I can keep it in my front pocket and not worry about where it is.
Now this wallet... I love it, but sometimes it's a bit much to use. The Tanuki Shell Cordovan long wallet.
If I sit for a long period of time, I have to remove it from the back pocket.
I don't see myself ever getting rid of it. It's pretty rare you see a wallet made of shell cordovan inside and outside.
Despite what I've said about my long wallet, I have my eye on a Redmoon long wallet
. Something to go along with my Y4 indigo invitational denim. -
@iamjustdanny damn. That Tanuki is a beauty! I’m looking for a mid length wallet myself.

I like this OGL cardholder a lot, but the natural leather had a glaze or something on it and doesn’t seem to pick up oils like other veg tans I’ve had. I took a deglazer to it and it brought out some cool imperfections I couldn’t see before. Now I can see the cows vascular system. I like it. The stitching on one corner came out so I did a shit home fix. Should hold. Still really like this.

@WhiskeySandwich ah man that's interesting — I've got one of their belts in natural and have always thought the evo of it was a little boring because it's, like you say, treated with something. What's the stuff you used? Might do the same to my belt, wouldn't mind at all if it looked a bit more rugged.

@popvulture I used an old washcloth and scrubbed the hell out of it with this:
-
Afterwards I lubed it back up with some leather balm from Mr.Lentz. Have yet to see much coloring but it’s only been a few days. My Mr. Lentz leather stuff is awesome though. This wallet was the same color when new and darkened way faster after a couple months. This is like 3 years tho.

@popvulture that’s how I felt about this wallet. I hope it works for both of us! Let me know how it turns out man

@gouki74 wow that’s super nice. Do you produce these for sale? That’s a legit production piece!
-
@WhiskeySandwich It can be yes
-
@gouki74 where'd you learn leatherwork? I bought a book on it recently but haven't been good about diving in and starting to try stuff. Seems like a lot of fun. Main reason I got curious is because I can't find a leather bag I like, so figured I might as well learn some stuff and maybe one day be able to make one.
-
@popvulture I began 2 years ago by doing small things on my own and I made more and more difficult pieces until now.
Now i make bags, wallets, belts, for those who want to have special pieces because I don't like making the same stuff other and other...If you want or need tips or advice, send a DM, I'll be happy to help.
