Sneak Peak - Men's Long Wallets

Here are some pictures of the new Men's long wallet.  Made from 4-5 oz tooling leather.  It is hand cut and stitched.  It has two pockets inside, and the back has an eyelet to allow the attachment of a lanyard or chain.  The first small batch of these wallets will only be available at Klaxon Howl in the coming week or so.  I will keep you posted when you can head on over and grab one.  In the mean time they still have some of the men's card holders, women's wallets, key fobs, and bracelets! Gosh darn go get one!

Weekend Wallets

This week I stumbled on a great site called Everyday Carry Via Art of Manliness. EDC words what their site is about as the following:

"Everyday Carry or EDC generally refers to small items or gadgets worn, carried, or made available in pockets, holsters, or bags on a daily basis to manage common tasks or for use in unexpected situations or emergencies. In a broader sense, it is a lifestyle, discipline, or philosophy of preparedness."

While looking in their archive I found a great picture featuring a Billykirk card holder. Looking for a smaller wallet for myself, I thought this fit the bill. I quickly drew up plans and set to constructing it with 5oz tooling leather and artificial sinew. A half hour later it was complete and looked Dynamite! After showing my wife my the finished cardholder and how beautifully simple Billykirk's design was, she asked if I could make a "double wide" version for her with a paper money section. So again maybe 30 min to draw the plan, and 1 hour to make it it was done. Two wallets, two days.
