Thank you, Sir.

@mikesantor:

Still going after years. The ring ripped off pretty early on but everything else is still stout as F.

Guess its time for an update on Ol' Girl….

After this changed hands 3 times and somehow made it back to me, I Got board with the Brass hardware and Ox Blood Cordovan. Since mine was Originally an OG with the drilled coin, Anesthetist hooked me up with the Sterling IH coin for the makeover.

OG IHG-02 + Fiebings leather dye + Horween 8oz Dublin Leather + Indian Nickle + Old Copper Roofing Nails =

The IHG-02 that just wont die...

I have zero skills in leather craft but I know how to bang some shit together to "just make it work" 

Now I save for a GA Shorty Chain…

Will a checkbook and register fit in side this somewhere?

Hoping to use it as a checkbook/wallet for business account. The dimensions make it look like it is very close.

Thanks,

Wow…got my hands on one of these wallets and it is insane!!! It's so big and thick  it's a lot in my pocket compared to my previous wallet. I've read through this entire thread as I was waiting for mine to arrive and it has lived up to expectations. @neph93 @Anesthetist your posts stood out to me the most. How are you wallets going?

Not sure about the giant brass IH chain I think I'm in the market for a black wallet cord now.

I rotate mine with my IHG-035. I’ll get some pics next time I see it. I’ve done some more mods, removing the silver o-ring and loop it was attached to, and replacing the brass swivel hook I’d installed with a brass shackle.

I really dig the IH brass chains, but they are a statement for sure. I have a calfskin wallet leash (also IH but extinct), on mine now.

Would love to see pics! I'm still in the fence with the brass…I wore it here and there with my previous wallet and got pretty used to it. But I'm thinking something more subtle either way.

@Filthy has the black braided IH one, which is the same as my tan. They are pretty awesome. You could try and track one down.

Oh nice yes….that's exactly what I'd like.

Anyone out there wearing this daily? I have been wearing mine for the past few days and definitely feel it's thickness on my cheek after sitting for a while.

Does the wallet mold to your behind?

Did any of you just get used to it after a while?

It is a unit for sure. It does mould to you but it will always be about an inch thick. And you do get used to it.

Putting mine back in rotation. Here are the pics as promised. The Cordovan is insanely good. Very hard wearing, and retains it shine.

You can see how it has curved.

Looks awesome @neph93 thanks for sharing. I am using a similar looking cord with mine too. Switched it over after trying the brass chain that was a little much, even for me.

Is there a way or a product I can use to remove the white coating (or whatever it is?) from the black leather on my wallet? I've only tried warm soapy water so far.
