I have been looking for a high quality slimmer profile wallet, since I am not into the whole giant wallet thing. And, I found this hand-sewn, US sourced leather, Japanese indigo plaid fabric lined wallet. The leather is vegetable tanned and dyed black using iron and vinegar.

It's from Barrett Alley USA.

I just ordered one and am pretty stoked to get it. I though a few of you would enjoy this.

Here are some pics until I receive the real thing:

The plaid indigo liner pretty much sold the wallet for me.

I have of Barrett's cordovan wallets from a few years back. It is very well made, and just a great simple design. Pics to follow.

Here is a pic of my custom wallet. I should have the real thing in 2 days.

I ended up going with a Thai indigo batik liner.

The wallet is perfect and the craftsmanship is flawless. This was exactly what I was looking for. I love the natural indigo liner, too

Looks very nice.  I want to see if it leaves indigo on your money.  That would be awesome.

I think the fabric is over a 100 years old. So perhaps it will be colorfast? I will keep you posted.

Yeah, probably won't get any bleed from an antique fabric.  Thanks, though.  Nice wallet.

Barret is now offering calf skin natural indigo wallets. They look amazing!

I absolutely love the wallet he made for me. But I wish I would have known he was making these.
