Such a shame to see Horween Cordovan being made into this crap. (sorry about that but I think Cordovan deserves much better crafsmanship). Personally, I would love to make the identical (or any other desired) designs, with much better craftsmanship (hand cut, Blanchard punched, Hermes-like hand stiching, Fil Au Chinois Lin thread, hand-rolled edge, all top if you are wondering), if you are paying for the Horween Cordovan, and minimum labour fee for me. Message me if interested. I am more than happy to provide my detailed works.

Realizing the slaughter of horses for any reason, was banned in the United States years ago, one might want to think twice about donating $160 to a product or company that encourages that practice in other countries.
Here's a good place to get some facts on that subject:

Nope, but it has to fit in with my keys, my phone and occasionally other bits and pieces.
And you're a bit of a sexist ass aren't you.

robert.harrisDude, lighten up. All the women I know wear tighter jeans than men do. (Then again, I don't live in Portland, OR.) He was mildly ribbing you.
I just wonder if this wallet will git in my Lululemon yoga pants.

We've offered plenty of colors in the past - you just need to keep an eye out, as they go fast! Thanks for voicing your opinion, drunk redneck.

I've had this wallet for about a year. I absolutely love it. The shell cordovan is beautiful and the wallet has developed a nice patina. But the stitching hasn't held up and is unraveling in several places around the wallet (see attached photo). I haven't used any leather conditioners or cleaners on the wallet that would have degraded the thread, and there is no reason for the stitching to come undone. Could you let me know if Ashland has any sort of warranty on the stitching? Could I send this back to them for repair? After a year of normal, casual use, this certainly should not have happened!!

Very cool, I may take you up on that offer one day. It's not actually a big deal for me right now because it seems only stitches near the fold rub the lip of my jeans pocket. but I do feel bad for moonbeam.
And I could just as easily write a post about how awesome this wallet is. I like it mucho. Patina is fantastic, and as always the photo doesn't do it justice.

Do they all come with a nice centered Horween stamp as shown in the description pictures? I'd really like mine to be centered like that picture.

I joined this immediately after getting the notification! Can't believe what a great deal the full color 8 is. I honestly can't wait to see it. :)

Would you consider this to be a "buy it for life" item? I love shell cordovan shoes, but I'm wondering how well a shell wallet would age.

I am THIS CLOSE to buying an Ashland wallet, but I really want painted black edges. These just look too prone to abrasion to me, but I could be wrong.
Mildy Hands (Rex Huang) makes the best edges I've ever seen, but he charges $20 for shipping from Taiwan. (Plus "mildy" sounds too much like "moldy" to me and is in the embosded logo. It would drive me nuts.)

Thank you for sharing! If Color 8 is in fact a derivative of Color 4. Could you not begin the Color 8 process and stop short to have Color 4? If you can't tell, I really really really want a pair of 975s and Indy's in Color 4. :)

Mansard_RoofYour logic makes sense! Unfortunately the naming convention they came up with in the early 1900s doesn't work the same way. All of the dyes have changed many times since then and its not as simple as cutting the process short. Man...Indy's in color #4 would be a dream for me!

What makes the reverse interior differebt from the moc? Is it the unique color? Is it made out of Horween shell cordovan Or a better material? How thick is the exterior shell cordovan? Thanks

Azngundam888The reverse interior is shell cordovan, but flipped around. As for the moc, here's an excerpt from Ashland's website:
"All leather interiors on the Johnny the Fox (excluding special, 100% shell Foxes) are thin horsehide and are made for us special from Horween. The tannage is very strong, thin, and has great aging characteristics and is inspired by English bridle leather used in equestrian saddles and western-wear."

Azngundam888Great question and @Necronomoticon pretty much nailed it. The reverse leather is shell cordovan but flipped around backwards. I actually really like the way that the reverse side wears in for the interior. Cordovan is actually quite abrasive when rubbed against itself and the raised areas of letters and numbers on your credit cards will cause the shell interiors to scuff a bit. On the reverse cordovan we tend to see more of a polishing effect. I offer reverse in black reverse (often appears as a greenish shade) and color #8 reverse (a lighter tan with red staining and overtones).
