Those guys put holes in the wallets for you. I am not sure though if the holes are boreed by a ring as the pictures 2 posts ago.

Redmoon wallet, about 5 months of serious ass smotherage. Grinding, attritive ass-weight.

I'm kinda wishing I had bought one with the covered snap.

Really? Is it eating through your back pocket? I just got mine and it seems like it might do the same to my SDA's.

[poly800rock]

it will...i got a covered one for that exact reason...dd has pics

[Dick Danger]

Really?

really.....

LGC wallet. Had it made with no tan or stain and after a few days of wear, I decided that I wanted a little color in it. Used a brown shoe polish and 3 coats of mink oil just to get it pretty. The 3 pics with no light show the true color, but the one with light shows the nifty imperfections in the texture and polish. I think it looks pretty cool now.

[poly800rock]

he probably gave you hell for that

[watchman]

does anyone know a cleaning supply i could use on the unfinished grain LGC wallet?

[diewhitegirls]

he probably gave you hell for that

When I asked, this was his response:

"I can do that....but have you read my leather care info?

How about... Instead of my 30 years of doing this ...why don't I just send you some leather scraps to screw around with?"

Yeah, he was pissed. xD

I used Saddle Soap and it darkened the spot that I used it on. Whoops, such is life.

[Dick Danger]

I just ordered one of those LGC wallets, the 10-2, I asked to shorten the lanyard, I guess I"ll see what he says.

[deedotceedot]

Haha, dude is like the Soup Nazi.

They are throwing in a free 4oz oil with it free. I ordered the cleaner a couple days ago, have yet to receive it so I cant give a review, but if its anything like other Obenauf's products, it will kick ass.

i just wish he would make a hr 01a like wallet. the long wallets are nice but are just too large

dick, i have a local seamstress line the back pockets of my jeans so that the button on my wallet won't blow them out. It also keeps my keys from wearing through. It costs about $8 for me to have it done and it's definitely saved the jeans a lot of unnecessary wear and tear from the wallet button. in fact the woman that does it for me puts an extra piece of fabric just where the button rubs so that there is a double layer of protection in that area. the fabric is just a medium weight cotton and i have her put in some fun colors like orange or yellow so that if/when they do wear through they'll have a little flair.

[hollaforadolla]

are you serious? are the red moon wallets really THAT thick?

Does she have to remove the pocket to do this? I have a lady I go to for bigger stuff, but I'm not sure I'd want her to be pulling my pockets off.

[superBobo]

haha, LGC guy really is the soup nazi. I actually BEGGED him to ship to Sweden. Everything worked out good though, and I like the wallet (ponderosa, light oak stained). It isnt that big really, or thick atleast. I can sit on it without problem now..,kinda wished it was a bit fatter actually.

i hope you guys all know what you're getting into with these wallets...I've had mine since may and will suffer a lifetime worth of back trouble for it...

The 3D wallet fade on your contest sammies is worth a lifetime of back trouble.

On a side note the PW-01 looks pretty skinny.

[truestorytravis]

No, she doesn't take the pockets off, so all the stitching has to be done by hand.

Yeah my Redmoon is a monster!!! The top of my ass to the end of my leg fell asleep the first day I got it while sitting in class. But it is a beautiful wallet and I plan on using it for a long time.

[khaltire]

LGC belt looks great! so its changed in color alot? I remember you saying it looked like human flesh before.. thanks for the pics jubei

[Ott]

i hope you guys all know what you're getting into with these wallets...I've had mine since may and will suffer a lifetime worth of back trouble for it. Actually just waiting for tanner to make a natural or light brown duofold...so i can buy that insted of the monster in my back pocket aka red moon..

exactly why I sold mine, poly. I noticed that I was slouching whenever it was in my back pocket.

Slouching sideways :eek:

[truestorytravis]

I just bought the Atelier La Durance belt in black from Context. Highly reccomended. Also, poly and Ott, what kind of problems are you having (if you don't mind me asking)? I been using mine for a litle over six months and haven't noticed any problems, but I guess that's the sort of thing that creeps up on you. Nothing debilitating I hope.

[poly800rock]

i'm kind of exaggerating when i talk about "problems". I just don't know if everyone knows how big these things really are compared to traditional wallets...

[nettiemoore]

ive used my rm for a week now and have had no real problems with its size....

[poly800rock]

that being said..this one started out natural..

after buying my 19oz oni's

tanner belt

[englandmj7]

Although it won't show wear as great as a tan/brown belt I just ordered a black harness belt from LGC..........hope it is worth the money.
