The Wallet Thread

Just to confirm by lining u meant the black part indicated by the orange lines right? That's not suede, just rough fabric.

Yup correct, referring to those areas. I see...quite wasted, since croc is quite a premium material it would be nicer if everything was lined.

Anyone can recommend me some local leather craftsman who can make watch straps?

My friend suggested this brand called orbigood label but i saw some of their wallets and other stuff and hate to say but to be honest their quality and finishing is pretty appalling for the price they charge

If you don't mind ebay, actually there's a vfm strap seller for genuine horween cordovan watch straps, notably from nomos glashutte.

Quote from DiCaprio in watch section: Search seller "sandtuhr" on eBay. He has multiple listings for identical items in different languages, rmb to filter and pick the lowest priced one.

I took a chance ytd and hooted one too. Link below if you're interested, but only if you don't mind very slight flaws though, if not for the price i find it's damn worth it.

Orbigood’s style is towards the “Harley Riding Boys”, so might not be for everyone.

I've tried making watch straps with our fellow Bro here - nightawl, with good results.

Also tried solitaire on IG. Another local strap maker.

Don't think it's got to do with that bro

Im all for rugged fashion. Boots, jeans, heavy waxed canvas bags, etc. Anything that patinas I love all of them

My friend has a money clip wallet from orbigood label and it's basically 3 or more pieces of leather sewn on top of each other. Its pretty obvious each piece of leather are not equal in size to each other. The guy who cut the leather obviously didn't care. The sides also had zero finishing at all

The leather itself is not very expensive since watch straps are small (anywhere from $5 to $30, depending on leather type), but it takes quite a bit of specialized tool to make a decent watch strap. Unless you plan to keep making straps for yourself, it is probably a better idea to buy one.

Thanks for the feedback! Hope you're enjoying the shell strap

Anyone know of any branded wallet cleaning service?

 

[bbbbbw]

The back of my wallet has small bumps on it.
I bought it back to the store and they advised me use conditioner.

They said it could be due to heat that cause the area to be dry

Montblanc always more solid. Classy

which one suits your current lifestyle?

iirc LV bi-fold wallets has only 4 cc slots or 8 cc slots, thou i remember seeing a 12cc slot version at T3 transit LV shop

would recommend MB if you wan a minimalist look

MB has 4cards+coin, 6cards, 8 cards. Seriously all these are mainly preference. Minimalist look or flamboyant look. LV usually has the loud brand shouting detail. If you prefer a more low key, then the Montblanc version will be more appropriate

 

[daintylights]

What other brands are there for minimalistic but classy look?

 

[htngwilliam]

Look for bro nightawl. Make ur own brand? For mens, if u don’t want to be too loud, usually the Montblanc classic is solid. So some texture, Westside or Saffiano version looks good.

If u prefer those brand shouting design, likely LV and Bottega.

Hermes, braun buffel, BV
Cordovan wallets
