how much would the 3rd wallet [on horsehide] cost? i, particularly, don't like thick wallets [hence the horsehide leather] .... zippered [coin] pocket has to go, as well. tho' your ****-type card holder is much cleaner [and prolly less bulkier] than the overlapping ones in my photo. some nice contrast leather or fabric [prints or solids] lining would be great to jazz it up a bit

i wear my wallet on the left backpocket, so i flipped the image.

Nice, zissou! Obviously, the colour darken and I can see that the leather become more shiny and texture smoother. Damn! the threads....its colour contrast with the veg tan is so good, after aging.

Thanks, guys. It's pretty much perfect for the 4-5 cards I carry on a daily basis. KBW- that could be arranged
