Love to see some pics of natural shell cordovan wallets after some use as they age.

This is probably my favorite example. This is with about 8 or 9 months use kept in raw denim every day.



I saw this natural shell cordovan briefcase and decided I had to one day have it as i'm sure it would age beautifully.

Who makes that case? In the US, I've only seen B2 carry cordovan cases in stock.

First Settlement Goods. I have a wallet and belt they made for Context out of Horween HorseButt.
Love the wallet, belt is too thin.

I linked to the sale page of the item. As @ShootThePier said it is First Settlement Goods. It's $5000, so start saving if you are interested. That's a large chunk of change to spend on a briefcase.

more info as to where you got it from?

Are you referring to mine? If so, I commissioned a craftsman in Hong Kong to make it for me! PM me if you want further details :)

Im still kinda interested in how the reverse ages. Having a #8 wallet (by ashland) and a black dublin the dublin aged way faster then I would have thought and the #8 still feels new and indestructable.

I'll let you know soon! I've been wearing a watch with a band in reverse for that reason almost daily... I want to see how it ages.
