I don't own anything by Tanner, but I think it's a fair price. I don't think you can get a handmade wallet of quality leather and craftsmanship for much less...

[madstaxbro]

Never had a Tanner bifold but the workman style is a great wallet. Besides $70 can't buy much nowadays either.

A pair of Levi's online is around $80.

they are machine sewn, except for a little piece for the cards

[tropicalbird]

ADH is right, I've looked around the price is right. It all boils down whether you like the design or not.

I've had two...only because my dog literally ate one of them, and they have both been pretty sturdy for my use. Nice simple billfold, didn't fall apart and aged rather well imo, what didn't you like about yours?

wow, are you really complaining about price points when dudes are copping 400-600$ fh and ih wallets? on a fashion forum where 300$ jawns are the norm?

'the fuck outta here with that shit.

contribute or keep lurking.

yeah, this pic is old. but this page has been shitted on enough already...

[milosz]

The super-expensive wallets offer a little more than a plain six-card bifold. I had one for a short time and never carried it - there weren't even spots behind the card slots IIRC.

The Iron Heart is probably the best-designed wallet I've seen - but I don't really like the color of the natural/tan cordovan, seems a bit too yellow. Not that I could ever justify $700 for a wallet anyway.

@ jackandcoke: haha, you can't compare everything to your Angelos wallet man

Unluckys bifold is in the same price point to... I'm not hating, I just

appreciate wallets that are truely handmade/handsewn. I dabble in

amateur leatherwork and can't justify a machine sewn wallet costing

$70.. i'll shut up now since I got some of yall panties in a bunch

and will make a bifold like their's, but handsewn, then i'll sell it

for half the price.

[hollowsleather]

Tanner's stuff isn't lacking in quality at all. $70 is cheap for anything made in the US.

here is my very humble leathers

Just got the N&F belt on top left, one year old local italian leather belt

Angelus card case one week, one year old local zipped wallet

[mikecch]

^ How do you like the N&F belt? Quality of the leather?

[LC_Miey]

^ How do you like the N&F belt? Quality of the leather?

Overall im not too impressed with the belt. the leather is said to be 15oz but they feel so light.. leather is not compact ,feel kinda 'spongy' . my knowledge about leather is pretty limited so please bare with my description

stitching is too shabby, machine stitched, they used very thin thread im assuming the same thin thread they used on leather patches on their denim that people usually complain about. i broke the stitching the first time i put them on..kind of very frustrated by that..for the thickness of the leather they should have atleast use thicker thread.

the buckle is stainless steel. doesnt feel solid and strong compared to brass buckle but i love this type of buckle single pin simple clean design.

the updside of all this is the belt doesnt feel heavy at all for the thickness of leather they used and for that buckle size which therefore gives me more mobility around the waist with the belt on.

[mikecch]

Mmm, thanks for the assessment LC_Miey...so the N&F is a no-go then I guess.

[jlaz93]

i got my n&f belt for like 30 on karmaloop i agree about everything LC_Miey said, but for 30 for a belt is a good deal. One row of stitching came out on me.

[ranonranonarat]

i'd love to get some saddle soap to clean up my leather products that have turned pretty dirty over time. any brands or recommendations?

[tropicalbird]

Lexol cleaner, 'nough said

[madstaxbro]

Those $5 tins of Kiwi saddle soap from Savons work alright.

Probably not for some crusty decades old boots though.

[Megatron1505]

If anyone wants to sell a Schott leather jacket, preferably the Police style or something similar in a size large, drop me a PM.

[benbenben]

Out with the old (Golf Punk leather belt - 8 years, Gucci leather wallet - 1.5 years)

In with the new (leathergoodsconnection)

[Max Power]

The new belt and wallet look really good

[benbenben]

@ max thanks! Definitely keen to see how they turn out after a few years of use! =)

[mikecch]

^ Great 3 x ben, much better gear now

[benbenben]
