Chains, Reins, Leashes, Wallets & Hooks

[Giles]

Haraki and I are working on a credit card holder at the moment.  The concept was an idea by one of the members and it is fucking awesome, I can't wait to see the prototype.

[Giles]

@Giles:

It'll be less than the shell cordovan, but it will still be pricey.  It's all hand stitched using animal tendons in Japan. so no way is this going to be cheap…G

USD420 without the ring, poss a little more with the ring…G

[Beatle]

considering the leather and the hand made factor that´s a really fair price….I am really looking forward to this

[Giles]

Lando, your translation re: tendons was inaccurate.  This is from H a few mins ago:

The thread is made from Achilles tendon of Goat. It's natural and really strong. It is really rare, almost impossible to get in Japan.

[Giles]

OK folks.  Taking pre-orders for these now.  PM me.  G

Damn you google translator! Goat Tendon it is. You already know what I want.

I'll wait for the cardholder.

@Giles:

Waddya think of this folks.  For those of us who don't like a bulky wallet.

I can only dream of the patina this is going to get with use..G

Hm, will there also be a shell-cordov-version?

[Beatle]

lol..it's funny how I am so super excited that it isn't cordovan…calf leather gets such a nice patina...

[Giles]

Simon, Possibly, but not this year.  G

[PETEROCK1]

damn…. what color for the short wallet? black or tan  ??? :-\

no rein attachment for me. i want to be able to use this one for semi formal/formal events when i have to wear slacks, knakis, or a suit.

[Dchill]

Tan my brotha, think of all that evo/indigo….

[Giles]

I'm only doing tan to start with if that helps

[Beatle]

suggestion for the reign attachment..

I think a longish rather than a round ring would work really good with the shape of the wallet..

[Dchill]

Agreed.^^

[malibuboy]
