Evolution of Leather Goods: Before and After Pictures

[m1sterko]

its a gamble... what store / brand is it from? do they offer any guarantees or warranties and such?

any reviews on it also?

it does look nice, i'd get it for a everyday leather bag (are the straps removable?)

[corter]

i'd deff. pick one of those up. you could barely buy all of the materials to make something like that for that much, plus it looks pretty nice. is it an ebay find or something?

[itsmedeka]

anyone have evo pics of their FH mid length in tan ?

[jcotteri]

yeh sidney had some beautiful evo. you will have to search back through this thread a bit but..

(this was posted by cotton duck some days ago)

^Sid's on the left after about a year of use irc, mine on the right brand spanking new.

This was in Jan so mine is also starting to show some of the love it's getting, plus is a considerable amount softer. Posted that earlier in this thread.

Now;

BLESS leather bracelet worn daily since February 24th, compared with a brand new one.

[whizkit]

^nice, i was thinking of getting on of those some months ago.

[fadingblue]

^^ my brother just robo'd one about three days ago. maybe i should get one too.

[Charlie Delta]

Just to make clear that I deliberatly took the untanned/natural ones in order to get aging resulst. The others won't have the same effects most likely, wich doesn't make them less nice though, just less suitable for this thread.

corter custom midlength

about 4 months everyday use

oiled twice and tanned a couple days here and there

i cleaned indigo stains off of it twice, i don't really know why or what i was thinking

i also have no idea how i got the two spots in the corner,

they popped out one day when i was tanning it

probably my last evo pics of this wallet as i'm going to try and sell it

[fornicatard]

Cotton, where did you get the bless bracelet, it's awesome.

[Charlie Delta]

Almost every place that sells BLESS also picks up a couple of the leather strips, so you should look around for their online retailers a bit.

The natural ones are current season I believe.

Here are some pictures of my skull medallion wallet - purchased from fabfour, worn for about a month now. No tan, just some Obenauf's leather protector.

I really like the size a lot, it feels substantial but isn't mega uncomfortable

...that's what she said.

sweet. i have the large medallion wallet and was kind of considerring picking up one of these.

here's an update on the wallet:

was wearing them in my warehouse 660s for the longest time and now i'm wearing them in my skull 5010xx 6x6--wallet's going to get soo much indigo stains. awesome.

very nice wallet , is the ring actually 925 silver?

Just thought i'd ask...In your guyses opinion, what's the nicest mid length wallet on the market made of natural leather? Flat head? Skull? Other?

[jcotteri]

thats a question that has been asked and will continue to be asked. It all depends on your needs, now i have the skull, but i have this beacuse it has more room for credit cards. I also like the look of the wallet. if you dont need as much room for credit cards then grab the Flat head, Redmoon and some KC's (some KCs have lots of credit card slots). There are many others that i can't remember off the top of my head, but im sure others can help you there. Perhaps wild swans might be more your style, there is as far as i can remmeber the Blister in large or small. The small is still fairly long i think. check out http://www.goodleather.co.jp/ for an idea over several brands..

[kenthenoob]

you guys seen this yet?

yeah....i imagine the leather would be amazing. you'd hope so at that price. i couldn't justify spending that much on it, and long wallets are a little impractical for me, but each to their own.

you get double your money's worth though - like all iron heart products, that thing doubles as a weapon.

[jcotteri]

yes

hanabusa leathers

i know what you mean, but it's a mid-length. just sayin'!

i like my skull too much to get that, even if i can afford it right now.

very nice wallet , is the ring actually 925 silver?

and i don't know if it's 925 silver...

[corter]

that cordovan iron heart is insane. when you think about the fact that one side of cordovan (1.5 sq. feet) is $150, you can absolutely justify the price. i'd be surprised if it didnt take 2 sides to make it

[fattybfat]

did corter makes any coin holder?

Goro's Wallet from Supermarket

the quality of the leather is really nice and it holds all of my cards and even has a coin pouch in the front. I'm really satisfied with the workmenship that went into this wallet but im thinking about letting it go. The reason being is that it's so thick and wide that it doesn't fit into my a.p.c.'s back pocket!

it's a beautiful wallet but i'm either going to have to upgrade to Samurai's ( the a.p.c.'s were due to retire anyways) or sell the wallet. decisions, desisions..

[gonegonegone]

why do most people actually recommend to tan a belt before even wearing it?

[corter]

if you don't tan and/or treat the natural leather, it will basically pick up stains from whatever touches it. water, oils from your hands, indigo, etc. so by tanning and oiling before, you're preventing that.

plus, untanned leather belts look a bit too much like human skin for my liking

[jcotteri]

nice edmond

[fattybfat]

very very nice, show us a pic with you wearing them
