Evolution of Leather Goods: Before and After Pictures

[knucks]

I need to tan my wallet some more :/

[rome1]

I don't own a Last Crops, but I think it might be an edge re-shaper. When the edges of your wallet get bent out of shape you run the piece over the edge to straigten it back out.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

nope thats what it is. ask Dick Danger for more info on the correct way of using it.

More ebay special:

seriously...could it get worse??? this company doesnt even make plain leather knock-offs, they are all just hideous like this.

*edit* on a better note, just got my tub of obenaufs and oiled my LGC. will post pics later.

40oz.. That's some swap meet shit right there..

[rome1]

does it come with a button up matching silk shirt?

[kert]

that thing scares me.

[40ozprophet]

why, yes, it does:

[Dick Danger]

Attention Last Crop wallet owners: what the heck do you do wiht the round metal piece it came with? I had a brief demo form the SA at albaquerque shop,but im sitll not quite sure the purpose.

I have two LCs and I haven't used either one enough to mess up the edges. But if you do you're supposed to rub the edges of your wallet briskly but with little pressure and somehow that's supposed to make it all better. I think I'm just gonna let my edges go since I can't find either edge shaper. I still have the wooden thing that came the my WS and I don't think it would do any better at shaping than the metal ones.

[Dick Danger]

I just went through google translator again and it might be slowly with more pressure. On the other hand I once told someone that it was a peter pulling contest at Ms Taffy's, when it was actually a taffy pulling contest at St Peter's. How the fuck are you supposed to keep this shit straight?!?!

as always YMMV

[fadingblue]

my wallet is darkening up a little.

the leather is thin (i asked it to be like that) so it has a card outline stain, its cool

i dont remember if i posted it here originally, i dont know where my camera is either

[edmond]

rw 1910's 3 weeks of straight wear

[the_state]

looking nice, eddie. you should post those in the "shoes that get better with age" thread, and post some pics of that redmoon x take 5 wallet here.

also, resize those pics!

[ang_kangkong]

I don't know if it should even be here, it's a shoe, so I think maybe the shoe thread is more its home.

I do have to ask*— you cuff your jeans? Not even a little indigo staining on these puppies... Or do you do the masking tape trick?

[mikesduc]

Red Moon with approx. 5mos of wear.

[poly800rock]

[mikesduc]

I had the HR O1A and sold it to Dave023 partially for that reason and then tried this out. No back problems and much more wearable than the buckle version.

[edmond]

ok sorry my bad ill take em out now..

[edmond]

btw mike that wallet is sooo nice jesus shoudve bought a msall one like that but you guys should see the FLATHEAD ones they are like 5 times better than the rm's saw it with my own eyes..

[poly800rock]

seriously, don't believe everything you see and read.

[edmond]

[edmond]

[beatle]

[bill]

it's tough to take your opinion as the word simply because you are so new to everything. i'm not questioning the quality of flathead stuff, but I don't know if you are the most qualified to be judging this leather or that leather. Seemingly, I'm not qualified either, but i've handled the redmoon and wildswans so i have a basis for my own opinions. granted i've never handled the flathead leathers, but nothing so far about the flathead stuff (jeans or leather) has jumped out at me.

your wallet looks overtanned or overoiled for only 3 weeks.

I believe the HR01 redmoons (the ones with the buttons) are called biker wallets. And you can get a proxy to get one and ship it to you. Otherwise, both selfedge (www.selfedge.com) and BiG (Blueingreensoho.com) have good quality leather wallets.

[M.O.A]

man, I really need to throw some pics up here

[iamstarwars]

thats true ive seen the old model fh over at t5.. and yeah they are constructed way better than rm's and the leather is way better too im no expert but i know what i see

I'm sorry, I'm a little late on that (don't read this topic too often), but why did you end getting a Red Moon wallet then? Was it a question of price (knowing you, I doubt it ), or just the general design that was more appealing in the Red Moon?
