IHG-035-TAN - Calf Folding Wallet - Tan

[CarlosEstinos]

After the deep clean and stitch repair. The wallet doesn't look good right now as it's saturated in oils and looks dark and dull. The feel of it is incredible, super super soft. After a few months in the back pocket the looks will come back

[CarlosEstinos]

Backfilled - no money though! Ill probably stop using the centre cardholder, I find it becomes too big for me and also has a tendency to kill cards

Soaked in Chamberlains number 3. How it looks inside. The wallet will come back to life once it beds in again

[CarlosEstinos]

This is where most of the wear and tear came from

Thanks for the replies, I know this wallet is still a baby compared to some others out there! I still want to get the stitching properly repaired by a specialist. Can anyone recommend somewhere in the world that specialises in proper stitch repairs? I would prefer if it went back to IH, I don't trust anyone else. I always like sending my stuff back to the OEM.

I got this wallet around Feb of this year in natural. Haven't really 'used' it much as I haven't been as able to leave the house.

At the same time I got the IHB-06 belt in natural, both my first IH leather goods and I gotta say they are pretty much unbeatable. Without question going to be my go to for many many years.

I wanted to confirm what tannery this wallets leather is from? Is it Tochigi too? The belt is coming a long much faster than the wallet, probably because I've used it slightly more.

Top stuff.

The tannery for the wallet is not Tochiji.  It's probably from another Himeji based tannery, but I do not know which one.

EDITED: Beacuase I am stupid

is the IHB-06 leather not from Tochiji @Giles ?

I assumed it was because the IHB-08 is, or at least it says it is in the first post here?

Whoops, brain-finger malfunction.  I have updated my post.  Sorry to waste your time….

[JDoz]

All good mate

Yeah I thought the wallet might be different.

Either way the leather for both is incredible.

Giles is there any way u could find out more about the leather? Thickness, weight, etc…

I would love a belt made out of this leather, I haven’t seen any leather look quite as good after years of use, especially the shine it has. Not even my old Redmoon belt has that.

Thanks in advance.

Here are some pics of mine. Probably close to 7-8 years. I picked it up years ago from a fellow forum member, looked pretty new when I got it.

I don't want to be a pain, but asking this of Haraki will mean he will have to divert attention from other stuff, which I don't want to do.  Sorry

[Tiro]

No worries. I figured it would be a long shot but I had to try. [emoji2369]

Had a Tan but lost it 7 years ago during my university time in Leeds. Been thinking of it and missing it for the longest time so I pulled the trigger yesterday and ordered a new one which should be reaching me tomorrow.

Here is a last picture of it before it went missing when I did the Leeds Otley Run.
