I could easily get 8 cards and some folded noted in there. Nate has excellent customer service and if I had contacted him, I'm sure he would have helped me out. I can only assume that there must have been something awry in the tanning of that batch of leather, as since then, nothing else has gone off and I've not heard of problems with his goods. I debated contacting Nate, the maker about this and possibly sending it back to him, but in the end I didn't - I think this was during the pandemic. Not wanting it to affect any of my other wallets I threw it out. The "mould" had returned, and this time there was a mild but off odour. I placed the wallet into a fresh canvas bag and checked it a month later. So I (dry) wiped it down and the "mould" came off very easily. None of my other wallets have ever displayed anything similar. The wallet had just been sitting in my wallet drawer, in it's canvas bag. One day, I noticed there was what appeared to be a thin, white coating, of what looked like mould, covering most of the wallet's exterior surface. Sadly there was an issue with this wallet, specifically its leather. The 'Jackson', 'Mini Franklin' and the 'Thin Finn' particularly appeal! I came into this thread to post about the same guy, for who I've started to see 'sponsored adverts' for lately: Check out his site and other great leather goods. I've got 6 cards, a Tile card tracker and four notes folded in thirds and it's still easy to open, close the flap and there's room for more. It should last an age and of course get better with age.įor such a small card holder / wallet, you can see it next to a £1 coin, it has superb capacity. The leather is Wickett & Craig's russet which is a glazed harness leather. He designs, stitches and finishes all of his wallets by hand and they're very good quality. I've finally got my hands on the Lost Dutchman's "The Finnigan" wallet, which is handmade by a 21 year old leatherworker called Nate, over in Arizona. :) A new wallet day, is always a good day. For £20 I’ll live with it.Īnd the madness continues. To conclude, it looks nice, feels good in the hand, is very slim, the cards are secure in their slots, there are plenty of colour choices but access could be better. Some of their leather versions, have only one side slot on the front side with a thumb access point, that would definitely assist on the canvas versions. It’s alright but I have easier access on many other wallets. Accessing the top slot with the side slots filled means you either have to dig your fingers into a narrow gap or squeeze the edges of the wallet to open the mouth of the slot. With the bottom two slots, you have to dig your fingers in behind the card and apply pressure against the card in the upper to find enough room to grab the bottom card. The top two cards on each side are very easy to extract, as you can bend back the edge of the top slot. I find this one a little difficult to use. I stick with one in each for a total of four cards, plus two in the top slot and some notes folded in half. Both minor annoyances but which did annoy.įor capacity, the side pockets could take maybe two cards each, although that would bulk it out and make card extraction difficult. These were large, in the way and so with a scalpel and a metal ruler as backing, I excised them. Second, inside the large top slot were three white nylon labels showing brand, care details and that it was made in Vietnam. First the logo label, which is not stitched but glue to the wallet was peeling off at the edges. The stitching is by machine and looks okay, there is some reinforcement in evidence. There’s RFID blocking built in to the liner, which is Herschel’s signature red and white striped liner. As you can see from the photos, there are two card slots on the front above the logo, two on the rear and a large slot at the top. This offers a very slim profile and good minimal capacity. They’re more of a fashion brand than I’m used to, so that’s why I went for a Waltish card holder in OD green, the call it “ivy green.” Regardless, it’s high-speed, low drag, if you know what I mean. I have another (yes another) new wallet, this one a card holder from Herschel.
