The Wallet Thread

[darthsid11111]

Not sure about other artisans, but i've bought my compact bifold from Chestermox about 5 years ago. Back then they are a husband & wife team doing it from their own garage. Not sure if it's still the same now.

Didn't even take any extra care my wallet until 2 days ago, i decided to give it a clean with brushing and wipe with soft damp cloth

In regards to the workmanship and type of thread used, the threading still stand strong and not even a small sign of fraying can be spotted.

Here a pic of before & after cleaning.

BEFORE

AFTER

Now i'm searching for deer bone, i think i can further restore my wallet with it. Anyone have any idea ? or if there's any suggestion on how i can "cleanup" my wallet?

TIA

Use Saphir Renovatuer which can be bought at Tangs. Deerbone for Cordovan leathers.

When you buy from Chester Mox you're paying for US wages and US rental thus the extra costs.

Overheads are generally massively lower in China.

True that.

But just afraid to buy from that China maker, cause mainly it's not a small amount + no reviews at all.

I would imagine saphir reno would be sufficient for simple cleaning/moisturising. Deerbone sounds like a hassle!

First time getting a Chester Mox wallet, would like to know roughly how long can I expect it to be delivered to me?

USPS no tracking right? Good luck expect to wait for 2 weeks.

I believe there's tracking. Big difference?

The tracking may be as comprehensive as like Fedex or DHL. If it's priority international, you can track it all the way till SG. Otherwise, you will only know when it left US.

I just use the cheap and faster way.
$8 USD - Chestermox domestic ship to Daigou USA warehouse.
$4 SGD per 500g block - Daigou US warehouse air ship (5-7 days) to Singapore.

No way I'm paying $38-49 USD to direct ship international quoted by Chestermox. Ridiculous pricing.
