@Deusis Could you make a shell strap for an Apple Watch?

Yup - the only thing is I'd need to buy the lug adapters which are a bit more than the cost of my regular hardware since I don't stock it normally. They're usually 22mm or 24mm, correct?

A few recent projects...

This is Horween Unglazed Natural Shell Cordovan that I dyed and finished myself. I call the color "Burnt Sienna". It has beautiful brown and slight red tones depending on the light. Handstitched with Japanese waxed thread.




Horween Garnet Shell Cordovan exterior with Natural Dublin Horsehide interior. Hand stitched with waxed red thread. This ended up being a beautiful combination.

I like the burnt sienna. Nice job!

I am quite stuck on the idea of a wallet that is essentially the bottom half of the FH. I may message the Ashland gentlemen and see what they say.

Wow @Deusis that burnt siena is absolutely brilliant! Your work is phenomenal!

It would! Send me a PM or email if you're interested. Lots and lots of shell colors to choose from...

Will do.

@Deusis this is a really nice design. I think it would work well for someone who wants as minimalistic a wallet as possible without switching to a card case.

@Deusis that hippo sure does have a unique texture to it

One week of use on my personal Horween Unglazed Natural Shell Cordovan "test pattern" bifold. This particular bifold is not hand stitched but is machine stitched with #138 natural thread. I am particularly proud of the cleanliness on both sides of it. I am almost to the point where I am comfortable commercially selling my machine stitched products.

All these photos are taken on a piece of unused, clean Unglazed Natural Shell for comparison.

Brilliant work! I did not know Horween produced unglazed shell. Might have to grab something in this leather. Is this wallet like the one @classicsaphic posted? Looks a tad bit different to my eye but I'm not quite sure.....

@deluze84 This is the first version of the modified money clip design and it is awesome. The dimensions are slightly different than the one I have-- it's slightly shorter and can fit a good amount of bills but not too many or the cash will stick up out of the top. It is really awesome and if you want a minimal carry and don't carry too many bills (and I'm taking like 7+ in my experience) then this is an awesome option.

I'm pretty sure that is normal. My non-reversed Bugs Moran has similar sanding marks from the shell rubbing together while in my pocket. You should be able to take some Venetian Cream and the smooth side of a spoon to those scratches if they bother you though.

Looks like some of the posters here have a few of the Ashland wallets. I'm curious as to what people think of them after they have some wear. I ordered the Johnny the Fox, in 100% black shell with reverse interior.

I have a Bugs Moran Bi fold color 8 reverse interior. I couldn't be happier with it. Ive had it for 3 months and it gets better every day. great quality and construction, which isn't a given when it comes to expensive leather goods. rest easy, you're going to enjoy the wallet.

Wanted to share a really awesome gift that was given to me by my buddy J Michael a couple of days ago! This is his Mini Bifold and its been a real joy to carry so far. It's got an italian shell cordovan exterior and a veg tan interior and is decorated with double stitching. I've been switching between this and my Guarded Goods Stronghold for the last couple of weeks and its been really awesome to have the higher capacity of a bifold without all the bulk that usually comes with them. I'm not sure I could go back to using a card case exclusively at this point! Also, check out the brightness of this burgundy shell! Really quite a difference compared to color 8--reminds me of my Ashland garnet key case almost.
