The lava looks like whiskey here

Is it due to the lighting?



New wallet arrived last night

Partly.

The color varies throughout, but I think I got a generally darker cut, only the left panels are a lighter shade


How's the bill compartment?

Deep enough to slide in 50 and 100 dollar bills? Receipts can go in without being folded?

Fits 10 dollar with 7-8 mm leeway, should fit 50 dollar with 2-3 mm leeway. 100 dollar I don't think so, but I never carry those so doesn't affect me..

You can always opt for 3.5 inch height instead of my 3.25

I'm glad you like it @Emospence! It was very fun to make. And the last of my Shinki Hikaku Lava Shell Cordovan for the foreseeable future too unfortunately!

I do have some other awesome colors coming in soon too along with having a nice supply of Horween Color #4 and Dark Green Shell Cordovan.

Can't wait to see how your Lava breaks in!

I thought I'd share this custom card holder I made last night. I added a thumb slot so the user could easily slide out their metro card. Made fully from Horween Natural Shell Cordovan. Very pleased with how it turned out!

Received a lot of new Horween Dark Cognac Shell Cordovan. Lots of nice variance on this!

Nice. Would definitely try a shell bifold from you if I have not gotten my chestermox wallet just months ago.

By the way, didn't check the forum for quite sometime. The stonewall isn't something what I'm looking for as a name card holder, but I have ordered something else yesterday.

hey guys.. i got a leather wallet from OGL that i made about like 4-5years back.. i really liked it, but the thing is that, cards that i put at the front will start to peel, as per the images

picture of whole wallet (with customized pick slot)

as you can see, my driver's license literally seems like it's gonna peel off totally lol.. and you can see that the top of my ntu card also has this white faded line.. im guessing it's due to the rubbing or something like that. the left side is okay because those are newer cards, but the posb card has a little peeling too.

the back of my ntu card also has the "curve" due to the slot curve as well.


just wondering if its common? and if not, is there any way of at least minimizing it lol.. if not i guess i would probably look for a more minimalist wallet that wouldn't make my cards like that.. thanks guys!
