[nicolnicolnicol]

[scasi]

the slot is below the card slots?

As for the rein hook, add le not weird looking? Coz i was looking at the past designs u guys have, this one like abit hard to imagine with a rein hook...

Actually this one should go with a parachord rein, i did make some short 1 which is yet to release, but to that long for rein...... it will kill me eventually .......

the bill slot is behind both card and coin slot.

1. tough, rugged
2. Actually the definition of skinny abit grey. Some take skinny as skintight, some abit slim. I like my denim btn skinny and slim though.
3. I will like my wallet to have a few cc slots, a coin compartment and a bill slot
4. anything smooth?

BTW, here for sufu updates

1. heritage (history of brand, branding efforts, audiences), overall aesthetics, rugged tradition, practicality of the item in relation to ones everyday life (i.e. if your daily activities genuinely reflect the workwear culture)

2. no. most are still into the skinny era. even with the people who "wear workwear", putting together an outfit with leather boots + wallet do not equate to workwear.

3. for me i prefer a classic wallet. things like a standard 6 card bifold. practical, suits my needs, classic.i have carried a standard cardholder with only 1 compartment as a wallet and it also suits my needs, so to each his own and depending on the situation.

4. natural tanned veg leather/chromoexcel.

NICE! any more? James! Where are you

1. practicality of the item in relation to ones everyday life (i.e. if your daily activities genuinely reflect the workwear culture) - kingkongpingpong - Quoted for truth.
Workwear items reflects post-war era. Brands with rich heritage, history that started during post WWII.
After WWII, which was devastating to many countries, people want nothing but just to make ends meet, everything was a start for them. Thus, they need items to have full functionality and also that can last very long to make their money worth. Simple and minimalist is usually the design due to lack of resources, as economy just picking up, no elaborating features added.
These people would use their clothes, wallet, belt, jeans, boots for a very long time for work, they wont be bothered by how they look during work or how 'beat-up' their items are. They dont care as long as those items are still useful to them. They have no time to think because making a living is more important during that era.
This is wat I think of workwear culture. It is an atittude where you dont delibrately fade you jeans or delibrately beat-up your boots, it all comes naturally when you use them in your daily life for a long, long time.

2. No, still skinny era. However, there is signs of picking up.

3. I like more compartments, '1 wallet fits all concept'. Because I dont like to carry too many things on my jeans....

4. Veg Tan for aging.

1. practicality. which is pretty underrated in sg. brands are kings here somehow. where's the love for quality and useability? no use if its "ho kua, bo ho jia"

2. skinny is ok i guess. problem lies with the mass mentality, and the invisible "stress" that perhaps dictates we should wear skinny becos its nice and other cuts are not nice (which i don't understand, how can every style be matched with skinnys?) for me, i gotta wear straight slim, cos i m small sized.

3. no frills and frills. have to have compartments. so long as the design catches my eye, quality good, stitching swee swee, kena already.

4. gotta consider most types. somehow prefer those with a robust rich aroma to it. veg tan has a beef jerky smell which i like. the only thing which i regretted getting was the untreated natural croc skin, freaking stinky like a dead croc out of the river. dunno what to do with it.

im looking to get a pouch recently cuz i dun wanna stuff my pocket till its so bulgy and i dun want to bring a sling bag which has so little things in it.

The size of the pouch should be able to fit in my cigarettes, keys and maybe tissue etc.
so preferably about the size of 2 cigarette boxes to make it simple.
Wad would the dimensions be like then roughly?

and any recommendations? does 310 have a greater variety for me to go down and choose from?
prefer to purchase locally so i can go down and see if the size its too small or too big for me and feel the material for myself.

thanks in advance.

I think a ammo pouch is what you need. Just go down 310 and have a look around

You can buy from OGL, but i think the pouch that you want is designed by one of the artisans, Fabian, that helps out quite often at 310.
