Wild Swans vs. Red Moon

[outline]

great wallet, but it's so thick. very uncomfortable.

[Dick Danger]

You'll never forget you have a Red Moon in your back pocket but you get used to the feeling after a while. The Wild Swans feels like it will flatten out better with a little use.

i'm very nervous about getting a thinner wallet b/c i actually like knowing where my wallet is, and the red moon does indeed remind you it's there.

ha! that's true----and i have to really work the wallet out my jeans with smaller pockets. motherfucker would have to numb my asscheek before trying to abscond with my redmoon.

(reminds me of this guy that was trying to pickpocket my wallet at a jay-z concert many years ago----he'd try to get the wallet and i'd smack his hand. a couple songs later, he'd try again, and i'd smack his hand away. he had a whole crew with him!)

[sweetmofo]

pardon my ignorance but where can i get wildswans online apart from http://www.goodleather.co.jp

thanks!

way to promote gang violence, jerk.

ok quick question to the redmoon owners:

I have a peacemaker which I've been rocking with my sammy contest jeans. It obviously sticks out a bit from the pocket. So the end of my pocket on my jeans having been rubbing the stitching of my peacemaker. Two of my stitches wore off, and I put a bit of glue on the ends so the rest of the stitching doesn't follow. Anyone else have issues with their stitching on their wallets..... (totally sucks)

A cobbler should be able to stitch your wallet again.

it's like the guy in vegas that tried to rip off david copperfield of all people. the magician kept moving the wallet all over his body. thief gave up.

Does anyone have experience with RRC by Red moon? I have wanted a rugged wallet, but I can not afford Red Moon right now. I already have Dior wallet, given to me as a gift, which is a nice bifold.

Just arrived today and I did a few quick snaps - Wild Swans Wings Natural

[nettiemoore]

awesome wallet ordo. looking forward to seeing how it ages.

i remeber one member here bought one, i think he posted about it in the evolution of leather goods thread.

What's the difference between Wild Swans and Last Crop? They have basically the same models, but LCs are more expensive. Thanks!

[soraanaam]

red moons has a rugged look like "fuk you up" kind of wallet, wild swans has a sleek refined look for "james bonds eating caviar off nicole kidmans ass" look

[Pandemonium]

so in conclusion, when you compare these looks, it seems that eating out of nicole kidman's ass isn't so bad after all...

^^^^^really loving that colour.

[Chponglasia]

Sweet, but what's the difference between Wild Swans and Last Crop?

[Tarmac]

I would take the wild swans natural over brown, and over any red moon.

[Chponglasia]

So nobody knows???

[Dick Danger]

nobody knows what?

[Chponglasia]

Just got a Last Crops Flicker ll in black from a friend who bought it for me in Tokyo. It's basiclly the most insanely beautiful, well-crafted piece of leather I've ever seen. It's glorious. I also love that when my friend went to pick it up, they made him put on white gloves before he could touch it. I'll post some pics soon if anyone's interested.

[Dick Danger]

always post pics

The people at Albuqueque said that they were made by the same people.

[Dick Danger]

This is what they told me.

Would anyone care to translate?

[Dick Danger]

I thought they were designed by the same guy, not made by the same people. I could be wrong, the leather in the two I have are different, but they are also different models.

[Chponglasia]

Chiba at Albuerque wrote me this about it:

"The difference between Wild Swans and Last Crops are quality of the leather. Last Crops is higher quality than Wild Swans...... and also process too. We do not sell the Wild Swans Flicker 2 anymore(because of low quality)."

I'll post some pics soon - sorry for the delay.

[yamakazi18]

when i first saw that wild swans logo i thought it said wild swangs.

so that's no good.

[Chponglasia]

Dick: How much has your Spanker flattened out? Pics? Just curious - the Flicker is a fatty.

[Guest eauxtour]

if you're in tokyo, london/paris. check out muji, they've got pretty cool wallets, and they're only 3700yen. just picked a tan one. will post pics later

[Chponglasia]

posted some pics if my LC Flicker ll here.

After initially freaking about the size of it, I now love it. Too much.
