Here's my Faler Brand mid wallet made by John Faler.  I love this damn wallet.  It's made with Horween's natural Essex leather.  It's basically hide from a cow that goes through the same tanning process as their shell cordovan goes through.  As it evolves, it looks a lot like shell to me.  I love this leather and John is as good as it gets when it comes to making things out of leather.  In my opinion, John Faler, Ray from blackacre, and Nicholas from Hollows are the 3 best.  The guy that makes the stuff for Angelos is really good too.  Their stitching and edge burnishing and just all the details period are what sets these guys apart from the rest.  This is my opinion so I'm sorry if this pisses anyone off.  Here are some pics of my wallet:

Here's some pic's of my Faler Brand mid wallet made by John Faler.  His work is perfection and I don't use that word loosely (perfection being the word I don't use loosely, lol)  His burnishing is done so well and his stitching is too.  Everything is done by him, by hand.  Just a one man brand and he's a badass dude.  If you're in the market for a new wallet or even if you're not, his work is so well done that you won't give a shit, you'll just be happy that you have such a badass, perfect wallet.  I was and still am.

Here are a few more pics of my Faler Brand wallet in Horween Natural Essex leather.  This leather is so awesome.  I think it's fairly new to the leather world.  It's cowhide that has been given the same treatment process as Shell Cordovan and it is AMAZING.  These pics are after about a week of actually wearing my wallet.  I've had it for around a month, I've just only had the opportunity to wear jeans for about a week, so that's why I'm saying these pics are after about a week of actually wearing.  Sorry about the quality.  All I have to use, camera wise, is my phone.  I couldn't hold still enough on a couple of them   but, you can still get the gist of what I'm trying to show.  John Faler really has a gift.

What's up, here's my John Faler made (or Faler Brand) mid length wallet in Horween's Natural Essex.  I had originally told him that I wanted a mid wallet in natural vegetable tanned leather, but, he said he had had several wallets made from nvt leather in the past and that Horween's natural Essex kill's it, especially as it evolves.  He told me several times that he thought I my expectations would be more than exceeded if I were to let him make me a wallet.  Was he ever right.  This wallet is perfection and I am by no means easy to please.  I can find something wrong with anything, except this wallet.  The natural Essex is buttery soft and smells like the shoe dept. in Belks Dept. store, lol.  I absolutely love it.  If anyone reading this is thinking about getting a new wallet, I highly suggest you email John Faler.  He responds quickly and his work is better than most in my opinion.  The whole transaction was flawless and I couldn't be happier.  Here's my wallet after about a week of wear.  I've had it for around a month, but, there's only been a few occasions where I could wear jeans.  I included a couple of my favorite watch too, hope ya'll don't mind!  Thanks!

Anyway, I live in Georgia, U.S.A.  The good ole' dirty south!

Recovering Mississippian here, momma lives in the ATL. Welcome!

I love Atlanta, however, I wouldn't want to live there.  It is definitely one of those places to go every now and then if you want to have some fun.  There's so much shit to do there.  Two things I love to do are watch the Braves and the Falcons play.  There's nothing like it.  By the way, I live about 60-70 miles northwest of Atlanta in Rome, Ga.  I'm content here.  Thanks for the warm welcome!

What's up guys/girls?  My name is Adam and I'm new around these parts.  I've been lurking for about a month or so maybe, but, just decided to join so I could post and become a little more interactive and productive.  I have to say, I'm a member on a lot of different forums, due to my several different hobbies, and the goods that brought me here have to be the most expensive stuff I've ever seen.  That's not a bad thing, I'd rather Iron Heart's denim/clothing/accessories, be made by hand, the right way, therefore justifying the cost, rather than just another shitty brand that outsources their product to China.  Not that there's anything wrong with China, there's a lot of fine artisans there, there's also a lot of sweatshops with very young children working in them for hardly anything rather than going to school.

Anyway, I live in Georgia, U.S.A.  The good ole' dirty south!  I recently started appreciating leather, mainly wallets, on my search for a new wallet.  I ended up going with a maker right here in the states who does everything from the beginning to end his self.  His name is John Faler, I'm sure most of you have heard of him.  He is exceptional and the Horween Natural Essex mid wallet that he made me is pure perfection, but, I'm sure there's a different place for this, lol.  Anyway, I will see everyone around and thank you everyone for having me!
