Wallets, Chains, and Reins

@WhiskeySandwich did you follow a pattern for the leash or just use good ol self taught ingenuity?

@Mizmazzle i just youtubed "four strand braid" and eyeballed some other existing products on the market. My passion for perfection (OCD) made the knots difficult though, the part that wraps around the circle brass rings was hard to get done in an reasonably clean manner. I took way too long on it, doing it and undoing it until it was what I consider acceptable. But you find your methods along the way.

@WhiskeySandwich cool dude!! I may DM ya here soon and pick your brain some. Looking at a new wallet and making the tether sounds fun.
-
@Mizmazzle I'd be glad to dive into it man! hit me up anytime

Store in Pittsburg, Studebaker Metals solved an issue for me. Had wanted a wallet chain but recently upgraded my wallet and it didn't have a grommet for a chain. This is a high quality piece of kit. Very heavy duty metal. Great weight to it. $70ish shipped after a coupon.

@CosmoSix5 Really cool idea!
-
@WhiskeySandwich Heck yes!!!! It's super similar to the one Tanner Goods sold once upon a time. I kind of want another one
-
@pechelman Very cool!!
-
@pechelman that is beautiful!
-
@iamjustdanny thanks for reminding me, i need to snap some fresh pics, the thing is darkening a lot. I might have to make another order for supplies and knock out a few....

@pechelman thats rad, i'll bet it'll age beautifully. looks like a good, slim bifold - hows the inside?
-
@WhiskeySandwich thanks.
The one reason I took a chance on this was because it did look very slim, and is pretty thin. I loaded it up with the same cards in my current wallet and I'm worried it may not work for me though. My existing setup is probably thinner than this wallet is empty just because of how it fits more cards flat and not stacked. Debating on what to do because it is very nice.
Here's a few pics stitched together showing more detail.

@pechelman i dig it but it does look like it'd get bulky real quick. I'm always trying to slim down what i carry in mine to the bare minimum. It still gets uncomfortable at times, but it stays pretty thin. That does look about as thick as mine is when full.
-
Fwiw it's about as thin as any leather wallet you'd pickup at a department store. Which is to say it's much thinner than the premium leather wallets from flathead or whatever. Thinking hard on how I can reduce when I'm so used to carrying everything in such a thinner package already.

I love those wallets and really dig Pigeon Tree in general. I have one of the olive teacore belts coming hopefully soon.
I will say that regarding thicker wallets, despite having back problems, I’ve found that I was able to get used to more than I expected. I have a Flat Head Wild Child and it really has been fine — that said, I don’t think I could go thicker, would be too Costanza.

I have one of those thicc boi shell wallets that IH makes and I have been able to get used to it. Aside from driving- the driver's seat side pushes against my hip so I take my wallet out. The wide pockets on IH jeans help a lot with fat wallets.

Long ago, after a many hours long international flight sitting on my wallet i had to move it to my front pocket just due to some back/hip pain. Once I did that i never put a wallet in my back pocket again.
On another long recent international flight my wallet was placed into a camera bag where it lived for the duration of the trip. After experiencing how nice it is to have nothing in the pockets, i decided to give a daily carry bag a try and shortly after got the ihe-37. Don't see myself going to back.
So while the thickness isnt a problem for pants, it does get very thick and bulky in an otherwise slim rear pocket. Still may give this a try before putting it up for sale. Should have known better with how my wallet choice has evolved over the years.
