IHG-02 - Medium Cordovan Wallet - Black, Ox Blood & Natural
-
Could I please request anyone who owns this to take a 'fitpic' shot of this wallet in their backpocket with cards / or whatever inside of it? I wanna see how bulky it is in that context..
Or if not let me know how you carry this thing around with you?
I carried mine all winter but retire it when it becomes hot because it's a bit heavy for shorts. I'll try to load it up and get a pick.

Do you carry it in your pocket or a bag? Mine is also about 2 years old but has some character from pocket wear.

I carry in my bag or brief case. I'm in the car most of the time.
Well she's a beauty. I love my oxblood but the black is gorgeous with that orange stitching!

And how the pockets are far enough apart to make it fairly comfortable.

Giles my old mate, any chance of a swivel pin on the oxblood? It's either that or a Flat Head. TVM.

No idea. I'd pick a few up if i was in Japan anytime soon but I'll get no closer than Portland, Oregon this year.
Well it's down to yours or the FH from Self Edge. I never imagined choosing a wallet would be so difficult! -
Boom…
(That was the sound of my will power collapsing under the weight of this wallet).
Bam, you're gonna love it.

I hope so. I have to admit I'm a little apprehensive about how I'll feel with regards to the $:enjoyment ratio. I came into a bit of cash and it was this or another pair of Wesco's. My boot game is up to scratch while my wallet collection is poor and that's what swung it.
I was also looking hard at TFH's veg tan mid which is cheaper, and I love veg tan. I ended up going with this because a. it's IH, and b. I figure if G-san needs to sell these at $800 there's a reason for that.

I get your concern completely. However when you take into consideration the materials (cordovan, silver, the best leather, and sinew), the intricate design, and exquisite finishing I think you'll agree that you're holding one of the finest wallets in the world. I am a certified wallet nut and this is the crown jewel of my collection.

I purchased one and it is a thing of beauty. The quality is there and the finish is fantastic. I always think if you buy and use these things then they are great value for money as they give pleasure and a feel good factor on a daily basis. They are only expensive if you don't use them.

@Anesthetist I think my concern is born of the fact that this will be a big jump up from my usual kit. I've never actually held or touched Cordovan, or really been up close with something of this quality. When I dropped a similar sum on my custom boss I'd already owned some 2nd hand Wesco's and Viberg's so I knew what I was buying. This is more a leap of faith.
@Tempvs I like the way you think. There is no doubt it will get used. I've use a wallet of similar proportions but much baser quality already, so this will be an everyday companion, no doubt.
Cheers, fellas.

Holy shit…
So the wallet arrived. I don't quite know what to say. I can't get my head around the quality of the thing. It's ridiculous but I'm actually struggling to fill it with cards and cash and put it in my pocket. I feel like it should be put in a glass case and only taken out to be stroked and sniffed once a year
One thing for sure, I need to source a new leash/chain of suitable quality and beauty. My IH brass chains are great but a little too heavy duty for this wallet (ironically enough). Suggestions welcome!

There about as good as it gets I think.
