Mid wallet for a friend, quite enjoyed this one! 

Hollows does amazing work! That's one beautiful mid wallet!

4 months wear on my personal card case:

Clayton (UK) Burgundy Shell Cordovan card case with Hermann Oak lining and wallet rein attachment. Ironically the buyer was from the UK.

Some recent work:

Shell card case lined with natural leather

Natural leather 5-slot card case

Couple of vertical card cases I made recently, Hermann Oak Veg Tan

Started using my shell cordovan mid wallet, should wear nicely

Tried my hand at adding accents to the outside of my card cases, I love how it turned out, probably going to line it next time, the stitches inside look a bit sloppy to me.

Thanks for the kind words! Sad to say it's the same for me. The shell was excess that a friend of mine had and sold to me. Horween told me to check in august and I haven't gotten word back from shinki who I contacted over a month ago. If I come into some I'll tell you where to get some.

Some recent work, Shell Cordovan backed Mid and long wallet with matching russet tan interiors

That's amazing work, digging the harness and the waxed canvas, hardware is nice as well, where are the buckle and swivel snap from?

Much appreciated, i'll check it out! @branespload

Tried my hand at adding accents to the outside of the wallet, hoping to do more complex ones soon

Selling a handmade hermann oak wallet, fickle friend fell through and decided they didn't want it.

Hi all, had a question: I've been trying to get the best evo i can out my wallet and started tanning it without knowing what I was doing. Basically I left it out in the sun for 3 ish hours a few times thinking it would speed up the tanning process, I'm worried I may have started to dry out the leather. I've read good things about obenaufs heavy duty LP and was thinking about applying some, can anyone whose used it attest to it or another product for "rejuvenating" the leather? I've posted a few (albeit crappy) pics that show the grain, I might be a worry wart but I don't want the evo to turn out crappy after spending so much time making it. I appreciate any help.

Regards,

Kevin

Last night's carry:

How do you like the 238? I've been eyeing the "scorpion" edition myself. 

Current EDC:

Looking for some decent earbud recommendations.

Also, does anyone carry a spyderco or emerson that you can reccomend? Looking for higher quality steel.

What leather do you use?

Hermann Oak Veg Tan on this one.

Here's a full shell wallet

Those wallets are insane, the shell looks great and the aging is perfect on the H/O. Your work gets better and better everytime you post.

Thanks for the help guys, I'll probably get the Mission or the SWRVE ones.

Looking for casual/dress shorts that are made of nylon or something similar, Florida heat kills me and I'm usually walking around campus all day, is Outlier my only option for something that doesn't look Mil-spec like TAD Gear?

I used to use an old locking carbiner like this because it was super rugged and the lock was extra security, but it got too heavy over time and I decided to make myself some pictured below, I use the one on the right more often because of the overbuilt swivel snap and length. 

Some of my recent works, first bifold ever, all in Burgundy CXL and Veg tan

I enjoy the irony of stitching American-made in Chinese onto a wallet.  Though, I think you missed a stroke on the final character:

 

Shouldn't it be:

美国制造

thanks eric, 

I did miss a stroke, sadly I noticed it after I stitched the back to the body

I'm a student of Chinese not a native speaker haha
