Wallets, Chains, and Reins

Getting back on topic, Rettam Yorozya sell a load of Ghost wallet variants.

This one is (I think) hand dyed. It's a good thing that the shop doesn't ship to the UK as it's 44,000 Yen!

A one-off Pailot River model. This is (only) 38,000 Yen.

It's White Sage according to the blurb. Looks a bit more suspicious to me…

And the Mysterious 44.

If I could ever find a reason for buying a leather jacket, I would buy that one.  I love café racers and I love that it's a color other than black or brown, so I could easily justify getting a second one in a more basic/versatile color.  Win.

You need a reason to buy a leather jacket?!? :o

I live in Houston.  Today, it's 91°.  Naturally, I'm on vacation in Las Vegas, where it's 106°.  In other words, I don't have a lot of opportunities to wear jackets, much less heavier options like leather.  I guess the plus side is that it would last forever, even if it was crap quality.

What Graeme said Louis, that blue shell wallet is stunning

[louisbosco]

Thanks guys. I really love the blue.

All of the sudden in the past few days my wallet has taken on the smell of a strippers chach

[Chris]

You're supposed to take the money out before you give it to her…

[Graeme]

I don't want to know how Tatmantall knows what his wallet smells like…

I also suspect it's an excuse for helping out Japan's balance of payments.

My new custom wallet from GJE leather. The guy that makes the wallets is a twin like me.

Here are my three RM pieces including a long wallet, a children's wallet (Amelia's), and the Ghost.

I am getting ready to apply some Mustang Paste, so I broke it down to get all of the edges. Leather origami at its best!

[Anesthetist]

Tender coin wallet.

[Graeme]

Thanks for posting that Anesthetist.

Is the child's wallet a RM-NLC? If so, how many cards can you fit in each of the slots?

I'm seriously considering going for a small wallet next time. If the RM-NLC II can swallow five or six cards, a couple of notes and coins then it becomes very tempting.

I'm currently looking for a new wallet, and whilst trawling Rakuten, I found some weird and wonderful stuff. Like this in Strawberries and Cream Stingray…

These are made using leather inlays.

2ND are carrying a Redmoon HR-01 that's been painted white. From what I can make out in the Rakutenglish, this will crack and flake over time. I rather like this one.

They also have a discontinued Redmoon deerskin wallet, which I'm only mentioning because it's sewn with tendons, and I know a few people are into that sort of thing. There's a long version, and both styles are available in black.

And lastly, I saw that Redmoon are doing a hand-sewn version of the HR-01-A. The stitching looks a lot beefier than the machine-made wallets, and given that tends to be the weak point, I suspect it would last longer too.

White wallets?!  Who are you, Truman Capote?

[Graeme]

Damn, rumbled.

Though I did find a picture of the Redmoon SG-02 (the long one) after some wear, and it looks pretty cool.

Actually, the wallet I'm currently leaning towards is the Vim Beget Lasus and chain, which is more on the none-so-black end of the spectrum.

[tatmantall]

That HR-01 does look much beefier than mine… Nice to know they are offering this for the future
