The Wallet Thread

[GuardedGoods]

Waiting for Black Friday before releasing the prices I guess. You can always email and ask for quotes etc.

Heres my wallet (custom design) from them after 4 weeks of use. Applied some cordovan cream too as it got a little dry after a few days of using.

That's wild. Thanks for sharing! Isn't it crazy how much Natural Shell Cordovan changes with a little use?

How is it feeling now that you've applied a little cordovan cream? I always feel like it may feel a bit dry at first but then start to get more "soft" after some use and being handled by your hands (and oils... as gross as it may sound).

Feels much smoother and softer after applying the cream. The surface had some rough areas initially, especially on the bent area.
I wish my hands were that oily

What cream do you guys use for epi leather (lv)?

Anybody tried bellroy wallets before? Looks quite slim after fitting so many cards?! Feel like buying one to test out.

Their leather CMI one ...

However, u can slim down any wallet by following the concept behind bellroy wallets ... do put cards into card slots in the wallet (or minimise that), as every leather between the cards adds depth.

Worst is those wallets with 3 sided cards slots.

True. Nvm.. Just wanted to try it out cuz it seems to be able to hold quite a number of cards and still remain rather slim!

And it doesn't hurt that it's quite affordable...

Currently, using the Note Sleeve, Card Sleeve and Travel Wallet...

It really is slim. Bellroy trims their leather pretty thin. And they don't sandwich that many layers of leather in between, which accounts for the slimness.

And for the price I paid for, the leather is not exactly luxurious but it holds up pretty well. Have the Note Sleeve for a couple of years now.

Sharing a tip, if you're planning to get one, get from HipVan with a promo code. Ongoing promo - 15% discount.

Hey guys
Anyone knows where I can get a wallet w/o card slots nor coinpouches ?

Something like this, but instead of the 6 card slots, it is another bill slot (ie 2 bill slots in total)?

Of course, u can always custom made. Obbigoodlabel sure able to do that with your choice of leather.

Not really this type.

The notes are not put into the wallet like the conventional way.
But instead it is spread out, left side of note goes into left side of wallet and vice versa.
Therefore u still able to see the center of the note.

Think you're talking about those bill clip wallets.

 

[19940112]

Bill clip still can see the whole note.

The kind im looking for is where the wallets really simple, when u open only have two slots - 1 to the left and same opposite.
These slots are where u slot the notes in so if you imagine it correctly, u can still see the center of the notes but not the sides, cos its covered w the slots of the wallet.

Also i dont it to have metal because i am used to sitting on my wallets so yup...

 

[19940112]

Since I saw someone using it before, hence no pic.
Its like a conventional cardholder, just for notes.

I just realised it was an Hermes notepad cover but the closing mechanism is like the dogon series one.
Anybody has any idea where i can purchase ? Cos now hermes not selling the closing mechanism like dogon anymore.
They only sell the Ulyses series.
