Early To Rise

[Happy Hooligan]

Thomas, thanks for posting those pics... that shortie is really breaking in nicely!

Canuk, These were made with japanese hickory stripe (not selvedge) and just the back piece (white) is elastic.. .(vintage though as I found a roll in a thrift shop) so it still has some give without the whole thing being elastic.

Added a new page of Prototypes since I'm trying new designs... I should be updating it as I go along...

Great product. Just received my wallet. Don't wait around. Buy this mans stuff.

[Happy Hooligan]

Can't wait to see your wallet in a few months of hard wear!

I'm going to change my wallet design a bit so I have three left, including a "black" one...

Check out the prototype page

Early To Rise now has a very limited run of Horsehide Belts with vintage copper rivets from the 1920's... bigger sizes right now but smaller ones to come...

just bought 3 of your Shorties...What am I going to use them for? I have no idea but gotta reward the entrepreneur who's trying to do something with himself. Good job man!

Thank you so much! I've had guys get them as gifts for friends so with the holidays coming up it might be a good choice...

Now a few belts in super dark cordovan (almost black)

[RPMFG]

lovely belts!

Early To Rise LA Vintage Rivet / Horsehide Belts are 10% off all in-stock sizes.

i don't know if you made fewer of the cordovan dyed belts or if they sold better but clearly if it's the latter you should make more of them. I think in general people prefer darker leather so that the aging can be appreciated. About how wide are your belts? One of the 3 shorties I got from you I've been using and they have aged nicely. One I gave to a friend and the last is for an extra pair or keys. Looking forward to more products from you.

[Happy Hooligan]

Thanks! I did make fewer of the Cordovan, but I also love them more. I might be able to dye the natural colors to the darker, but I did apply a coat of natural oils to them. I might give it a try to see on a test belt. It's just I'm about out of those special rivets. I can make them still with vintage rivets from the 20's, but they won't have the cool Anchors or Stars on them....

Glad those shorties are still holding up for you! I'll have some more stuff coming up soon. Just been busy with everything else in life...

Those shorties are tempting and I've been looking for a denim lanyard, have you ever thought of making a really long denim lanyard? I'd buy one of those for sure!

Funny as I was actually thinking of that this morning also... I'll have to figure out how to sew it, as normally you'd sew it inside out and then turn it out so it has a cool look like a leg of a jean, but the lanyard would be so thin I don't think I can roll it though itself.... Let me come up with something...

[MAYER]

Great work, sorry I'm late seeing this thread. Are you going to be putting anymore of the natural wallets up on the shop?

[brightbill]

Any plans to sell a suspender again?

[Happy Hooligan]

I will make a new version of them. I wasn't crazy about the hardware I got, so I need to source a new line for them...

[danisdead]

Those belts are really really nice!

[Happy Hooligan]

I made the belt sale even better... 10%-20% off all in stock belts! Once they're gone, they're gone.

[Happy Hooligan]

Finished a little Horse and Pig wallet.

The Horse has a some really nice grain coming out too. First time with Pig skin. Very stiff and I think will work and hold up really well as the inside leather...

Might be a style I carry... what do you guys think?

I'll put this one up in the supermarket.

[Happy Hooligan]

New item.

Cash / Card Holder

[danisdead]

Very Nice!

[Happy Hooligan]

thanks. I'm really happy with how they turned out.

Here's some more pics of them in use...

[Happy Hooligan]

My latest wallet. Horse-Cow-Duck.

Horse outside, cow inside and duck inner pockets...

[shinobi2000]

is that like a leather version of the turducken? :-) Looks very nice

[Happy Hooligan]

lol yup. And ready for your next holiday dinner....

[Happy Hooligan]

Denim work Aprons....

[kslo]

that is a nice looking wallet! I am in desperate need of a new wallet... and also I posted here awhile ago about a denim lanyard, you get anywhere with that? or would it be possible to get a super long "shortie".

Keep on making good stuff!

[Happy Hooligan]

I've got six wallets in mid making... should have them done by the weekend... three horse/duck (two natural one cordovan/black) and three in cow with denim and with a D-Ring now for attaching to a lanyard...(improved design) They should turn out pretty cool.

I can make a denim lanyard if you'd like, not sure how well it would hold up but it should hold up pretty well.

I can make a super long shortie... maybe call it "Stretch"

Check back this weekend or beginning of the week!

[shinobi2000]

is this what you do full time now or do you just have plenty of time during your regular job?
