This is a medium snap wallet in black chrome-tanned leather, with three card pockets and one cash pocket. It flips open on a snap and holds about 12 cards when new. Closed, it measures roughly 4" × 3" × 3/8".
Chrome-tanned leather is soft and flexible from the start, so this wallet has some give to it right out of the box. It wears well and holds up to daily use.
For each wallet I choose sections of hide with tight grain and minimal imperfections. The edges are beveled, sanded, and hand burnished.
The stitch holes are punched with diamond chisels, then sewn with two needles and one thread worked from both sides. It takes longer than running a piece through a machine, and it is the method hand leatherworkers have used for generations. A saddle stitch is also much stronger than a machine stitch. You can choose black or white stitching when you order.
The wallet is held closed with snap rivets.
About 12 cards fit when it is new, plus folded cash in the cash pocket.
Over time the leather softens and takes on the marks of however you carry it.
If it gets wet, let it dry naturally. A light coat of leather conditioner once or twice a year is plenty.
This is a good gift for someone who would rather carry one good wallet than replace a cheap one every year. Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, Christmas, or the person who is impossible to shop for. It is also a good choice for anyone who collects handmade leather goods.
