Back side on Long Wallets from "CALF JAPAN" is cutted from one piece incl. flap

 

i.e. to others which flap is sewn on (of course it will reflect in rrp ):

Thanks, for some reason I thought Hollows and Blackacre quit doing custom work.

Yeah, I love his work but do you know if he is still taking orders ? I thought I saw where he quit doing custom orders.

Thanks Geeman, I've been wearing my small FH cordovan card case/wallet more often recently but when it's party time the long wallet always comes out.

[ehriking]

Corter card holder, probably almost a year now on that. No name leather belt about the same time. happy with the progress so far.

My Red moon come in today. Outstanding quality and detail

[fatKARLOS]

can anyone help a brother out with suggestions of footwear brands? 

affordable and nice

ex. ralph lauren, brooks brothers, cole haan 

cole haan was always my go-to brand but i feel as though their design and quality are leaking [rapidly]

 

...headed to a gala next wednesday. rented a tux; don't own any (formal) black shoes. not looking for something super elegant that i could only wear with a tuxedo, but perhaps something just fancy enough that i could dress down a bit.

would greatly appreciate your vast knowledge and recommendations. thanks!

So, I'm in the market for a new wallet after using my natural Corter bifold for a couple years.
I've only ever really used bifolds, but I'm open to different designs. Particularly vertical and mid-length stuff.

So far the two wallets that have caught my eye the most are the Wild Child wallet from Self Edge as well as the Flat Head hand sewn wallet pictured here:

 

I just want something a bit more substantial than the Corter bifold I've got now, it's gotten quite thin over time.

Just looking for some more suggestions in regards to brands and any experience with the wallets I already mentioned.

Thanks.

Couple of vertical card cases I made recently, Hermann Oak Veg Tan

 

 

Started using my shell cordovan mid wallet, should wear nicely

 

[vgadjo]

Pieces: OGL Jane Natural Wallet + Red's Leather rein

 

Worn: 1 year and a half for the wallet, a couple months for the rein

 

Origin: Singapore for OGL. France for the rein, more specifically Angers.

 

Both the wallet and rein start showing wear.

 

Close-up on the rein:

All brass parts from Japan. It will age providing some vert-de-gris.

 

The chain comes from Poursin, one of the oldest saddlery maker in Paris. It's brass too.

 

The rein was bought at T-Bird Paris, a place you don't want to miss if you visit the city.

 

Cheers

I think I need to learn how to sew some saddle stitchings to save my wallet from falling apart.

Any tips!?

It's not that hard nizzel55. 

 

you basically got one long thread. You get 2 needles. Put one on each end of the thread.

 

Stick one needle into the leather so that the leather is in the middle of the thread. 

 

Then start crossing your needles. Left needle to right & the right needle to the left.

 

I'm Dutch, so do I make any sense?

You don't really need two needles, you can have just one and make a "double running stitch"...first make a running stitch in one direction like this

Then upon reaching the end, just go back to fill in the gaps until you reach your starting point like this:

And you don't have to make new holes, just follow the existing original holes as your guide.  Easy?

A backstitch (there's a youtube tutorial on that) would actually be easier and less time consuming to do, but one side would look differently from the other side

[Cold Summer]

Just out of curiosity what's wrong with it?  No ring to attach the wallet rope to the wallet?

[mf051404]

Don't fret...just buy what you need from Smoky Sumi

Trusted Ebay seller from Japan ;-)

It turned out OK.

Thinking of redoing it and stitch around the complete wallet.

nothings wrong with it, i just ordered the wrong one i ment to get a longer one with a zipper pocket

[nizzel55]

There we go!

 

I redid all the stitches I had done and stitched around the complete wallet.

Turned out quite nice if I may say so!
