Chains, Reins, Leashes, Wallets & Hooks

[Giles]

Came back from picking the new Iron Heart company vehicle up and the next batch of cartons from Japan was here: It included, loads of Tee's, all the overdyed short sleeved chambrays and a collection of calf and cordovan goodies:

Cordovan belt clip:

hehehehahahoahohoeheh
it's that time of the month again: where i check the tracking # every 30 minutes for about 2 days

[Gilbertt]

How much is the belt clip?

[Giles]

USD160 if shipped with something else.  G

[Katsushin]

And worth every penny!
It is hard to describe how good it feels to walk around knowing you have one of the nicest key clips in the world hanging at your side (if not the nicest)…seriously, it will put some extra swagger in your step.
To quote Filson..."Might as well have the best".  I honestly don't believe you could buy a nicer leather clip...
Not to mention how sweet it is to have a matching cordovan wallet.  Sometimes those details really bring it all together and turn your ensemble into something really special.

And a big grin on his face…G

I knew the man had style….

So this may not seem like that a big of a deal, but here goes…

This is a picture of the Oxblood Cordovan wallet that I have (which continues to amaze me more and more every time I use it). 
Notice the quarter that is used as a reign attachment and how it sticks straight up...

Since the first day I got it, I've tried to make the quarter lay flat but is has been impossible!  No matter how much tugging and pulling on it (the quarter that is) I did, it stayed stick straight.
Then I saw this picture of Haraki's and viola…perfectly flat.

How did he do it??!!  It has been keeping me up at night practically.
Then today I was pulling out my wallet to pay for something and bam!…

No idea when or how it happened, but it finally did.  Might not sound too crazy, but after months of being convinced it couldn't be done, it was pretty sweet…

[Beatle]

that's a hell of a wallet….

Katsushin

glad to hear about your little victory with that Quarter  seems like we all have an incredible "problem" with attention to detail, which eventually leads us all to IH.

has your wallets inerds changed color at all or has the natural stayed natural???

[Katsushin]

Certain points on the inside are starting to show some wear.
I'll get some pics in the next day or so…

More wonderfulness has just arrived.  Ox Blood Cordovan wallet:

USD550 shipped

[Tripleterror]

A thing of beauty !
TT

[thomasnunnally]

Yea, I think I want that more than the natural half calf now.

Looks great.

[Giles]

Other than the outer being Cordovan, the other difference is that the Cordovan has a coin pocket, the calf does not.  G

[DrPat]

On the black cordovan short wallet, is the inside also cordovan or calf (like the red) but stained black?

[Giles]

Stained:

[DrPat]

Thanks.  Is it stained calf or cordovan?
