Evolution of Leather - Belts Wallets Patches

[nikkiong]

@louisbosco i totally believe in paying for lifetime gears too. and how would you justify the difference in quality of goods made from shinki shell vs horween shell leather?? i've heard shinki shell being more plasticky..

[louisbosco]

@nikkiong well, the feeling on both is hard to tell by words. but when you feel them, you can tell the difference. as for me, what sets it apart is that i feel there's more oil to the horween shell, where if you just run your finger over the top and you can feel the oils in the processing of the leather and how smooth it is. the texture is just worlds apart.

also, as a personal preference, i prefer the smooth underside of the horween shells as compared to the net-like texture of the under side of shiniki's shell i've handled. the aesthetics of horween's shell is beautiful at first side. but like i said, once you run your fingers over the leather, you'll immediately know what i mean.

I recently got my Japanese wallet in the mail – breaking er in...  I just noticed the 1st indigo stain on it, which was caused by a pair of IR 634's   I can't wait to watch it darken with use. I have started back pocketing the wallet at work, not just on my off time, to kickstart the aging process.

Customer came to us today for a replacement patch… he might have been overreacting. I don't see anything wrong with this at all!

Wife bought me this Tanner Goods Rider Wallet for my birthday.  1 month of evo.  I think the IH-FW might be my next wallet.  Just need to sort my funds.

Tender Co blue enamel. I love that some parts have worn down to the brass.
