Starting this thread as a spin off of the raw denim thread. Post up progress photos of your natural leather items like belts, wallets. ipod cases stuff like that.

This is my Wins House wallet. Just got it today. The wallet is pretty thick right now but it should flatten out over time.

Got some photos my business partner took when she went to the store. The owner had an amazing wallet that he had been wearing for over 7 years!!!! Will post some photos of that when we get them off her phone.

In my opinion, if you are going to wear a nice wallet, you don't want to wear it if you're breaking in raw denim... or with any blue denim for that matter. Personally, I have a dark brown LV wallet and it is fairly stained up. But I'm not distraught about it. Afterall, it's a wallet. You wear it on your butt. You fart on it. You sweat on it. It's going to get tattered. If you want to keep it fresh, wear a murse and stow it in there. I like where this red wing trend is going. It's good to see people putting sturdily constructed items to good use.

totally agree, but personally such a bulky wallet ur most likely to get robbed downtown, but i've been lookin at these red moon wallets for a while, since my hundreds one is kinda dying on me, i might cop though when i'm done wit my FC contest and move onto another pair of raw denim

^I wouldn't want one of those on my ass, pretty sure that'd cause problems for my behind down the road....

Treasurehoard, in the first pic you posted, where the wallet is folded and buttoned up, it looks like the width of the wallet is no more than a couple of inches, maybe just over double the width of the button,
there is no way you could fit a CC in there and then fold it up like that??? Am i missing something??

EDIT: ^^ Co-sign with megalison, i kinda like all my stuff to look new and fresh lol i probably would have like the nudie wallet more when it was new and clean....

^Co-sign, I really don't find anything special about that wallet... sure some areas are darker but really I dont see lots of value in them, especially at that kind of price.

^ nudiefive's Nudie v1 wallet

amazing caramel colours and obvious signs of love. its an acquired taste i guess, and im sure people on this forum will stick to their gucci and LV wallets. imo, these types of wallets are far superior in construction and originality then any other brand name wallet out there

Looks beautifully made, never seen one before, how is it a wallet though? u can get cards in there can u, and doubt you could get many notes in there either.

There are 5 spaces that could be used for bills - 1 is the pocket with the flap closure, 2 pockets behind the flap pocket and 1 behind the CC/ID holders and 1 behind the center card insert + 14 card holders. Basically covers everything I need on a daily basis like ID, CCs, business cards, receipts, bills, coins in the flap pocket. The center insert is removable so I can reduce the number of cardholders by 4 and bill holders by 1 if I need to.
