IHG-02 - Medium Cordovan Wallet - Black, Ox Blood & Natural
-
@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.

Haha, yeah. But no.
I don't know why but I thought that was extinct. Regardless of the price point, and as beautiful as it is, I'm after something a little more subtle. Either thinner or shorter so that I can use the belt loop by the patch on the back. Those silver key chains IH used to do from the same links would work I think.

You could always get @Obbigood to make you a very simple, sleek rounded edge leather reign with a hook. Similar to the Flat Head ones like this - he might even be able to source a similar leather to the wallet.

In danger of engendering thread rot here (could be placed in the leash thread or the First World Problems thread [emoji23]) but the silver ring on the wallet makes me want silver hardware on the leash/chain and the wallet is oxblood so black leather is a no-no. I do like vegtan leashes but mine always end up a fugly blue/brown. Because crocking.
There a few items in the extinct hardware list that would have been ideal. I'm not in a great hurry. The current set up is acceptable until IH come up with something awesome.

Can the links of the IHSI-01 be removed to shorten, @Giles?
If not, potential new product; IHSI-01-short

Not by mere mortals…..We made this once upon a time, in fact it may still be sold in Japan, but the clasp kept failing, so I stopped stocking it:

Ah yes! I forgot about the key chain.

That would be the one I'd fancy
️Although possibly not by the sounds of things.
This would also have been a great solution https://www.ironheart.co.uk/extinct/ih-ssc.html

Wow, that is a beautiful and heavy duty piece of workmanship!
Hmmm… still in stock... I feel my resolve (like my mask of sanity) slipping away...

I popped by SELA yesterday and was finally able to play with this in person. As much as I love the look and feel I just can't see myself carrying it given the thickness. If there was a version made that was just a card wallet with vertical slots but with the same dimensions I would be all over it!

Care to guess what the wifey stowed in our day pack?
I guess I'm getting an early Christmas on our trip to the Bahamas!!! I know she's had it for a couple of months now, it's been painful to not get it out and admire it daily
OH SHIT! You Ruck too? awesome!!!! (sorry for the super late response, i'm just a few months into rucking and was searching for some IH history)

Looks like my Cordovan is coming apart on the edges.
It’s been my my constant back pocket companion for just under two years.
Hell, its got 21 ounces of warp permanently embossed into the leather!Any idea on how to stop this tearing from spreading?
