"Hey Bill, I just wanna say I bought a heavy duty wallet from you two years ago and it is perfect. I have a ton of other wallets that I switch in and out of but I always come back to that one. Thanks for the great work"

Wallet a customer has had for three years was sent in for reconditioning.  They did a great job taking care of it.  This was one of the very first vintage wallets I made.









I knew it would be beautifully well-made, but the wallet far exceeded our expectations. I can't say how impressed we both are. We're horse people, dressage to be exact, and we don't own a single piece of tack that is made as well.

Excellent work. You're a true craftsman and artist. Well done.
 







Hey Bill,

Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know I'm quite happy with the wallet I purchased from you. I've been using this wallet exclusively over the past two years and it's aged quite well. I've attached some pics in case you wanted to share them and this review with prospective customers. I receive compliments on your work regularly and plan to use this until it falls apart...which is probably unlikely. Thank you for excellent craftsmanship.

At two years this looks great.  The spider web like cracks around the edges mean the finish is starting to go and it needs reconditioned soon.  At this point the leather has not been damaged.

I wish I could take pics this good.  After this was made the rivets are pounded down slightly more to prevent those dents for aesthetics.  The pictured version may be stronger than the modern version as they have more copper but it is hard to say.  Again note the spider web like cracks.  I wouldn't suggest to let a wallet go so long without conditioning but it is still fine as the leather has not yet been dried out.  It does need some Aussie or Pro Cream very soon.  Cracks lead to wrinkles.  Sometimes during especially harsh winters leather goods need extra care.   I know in the last 6 month Winter we had  I was doing my boots every few weeks to keep them waterproof.  I would suggest at minimum for longevity to condition fine leather goods quarterly.

Those edges could use a quick buff with Saddle Soap but otherwise look great.  I am so glad this wallet has served you well and look forward to seeing it in a few more years.  Thank you.

If anyone else has any comments or questions feel free to send me a message.  That is definitely a plus over buying things from corporations.  You can talk DIRECTLY to the person who made it.  I have no interest in selling you the same thing twice.  It would be embarrassing.  I am here so you tell your friends and family.
