The pocket wallet with zip is unique in that I only use high grade full grain leather inside and out plus a high-end YKK zipper (other zip wallets use low grade 'bonded' leathers, plastic reinforcements and hidden tape to mask the inferior quality materials used). The interior includes two separate card sleeves and a central area to store cash or even more cards. This version easily holds 8 cards in the sleeves (4 each side) and a nice sized wad of cash in the center (or an additional 6 to 8 cards). It will certainly fit more if you let it break in.
Built using YKK's highest grade of zipper (Excella), and entirely made of the finest U.S. full grain leather and solid brass rivets. Handmade one by one in my small U.S. workshop.
What Is Full Grain Leather?
This is the uppermost layer of hide with the most compact and dense fiber structure of any style of leather. It is by far the strongest type of leather you can use, resistant to wear, abuse and stretch. Full grain leather far surpasses the longevity of lower grades common in store bought items like top grain, bonded, genuine and patent leathers. You'll notice the difference immediately when you watch how beautifully this wallet ages with time and use.
SIZE:
The Card Pocket Wallet measures 4.25 inches wide x 3 inches tall x 0.5 inches deep on the exterior. It should be able to hold around 18 cards, or if carrying a wad of cash around 8 cards. You can also store change in this wallet as it is completely enclosed.
PERSONALIZATION
On this wallet, due to the complexity of the personalization process, we unfortunately cannot offer it.
Here’s a look at how my customers’ purchases are aging over time. Each item will develop its own unique patina depending on how you use it, how often, and what it’s exposed to. That’s the magic of using high-end Full Grain Vegetable Tanned Leather.
