cannot be consider wear and tear la..the staff said so? file complain to Fossil headquarter directly..

Looks good, edge was nicely burnished. Color combination looks funky, also choice of thread is kinda busy looking for me.

what kind of leather?

I just wonder why there are cutouts on the sleeves of slots, for thickness reduction?

Yeah the edges are nice. The pictures don't do it justice really. Apparently too difficult to photograph (with just a smartphone).

Outside is green, pockets are chestnut. Thread is anthracite (black) and doe (beige) waxed linen thread.

Leather is Conceria Walpier Buttero. Italian veg-tanned.

I assume so yes, to reduce bulk. But I think it could have been assembled better.

Do share again, when it has been broken in. Why not putting your initial, since its bespoke.

I'll try. It's not mine, it's for a family member. I was just a 'consultant', coz I'm known as the family leather expert lol

lol, when you going to commission one, go full cordovan yeah!

Nah. I'd go with either Haas Barenia or Ilcea Radica.

the problem i find with most wallets, especially luxury branded one these days is that their leather is thick and unnecessarily bulky. when i put it in my pocket and sit down, i can always feel my butt being lopsided given the size of the wallet.

sure there are minimalist wallets but most on hand look cheap and feel very rigid.
has anyone tried bellroy out? i know its not luxury but their images on their website looks good and their features are very practical.

Maybe you are overloading your wallet? Would you be better served with a wallet and a separate cardholder? I carry notes, coins, IC and license in my wallet, then ALL my other cards in one of these in my front pocket:

Anyway, check this out for a nice minimalist design:

i used long paul smith (which i always like this design) but i'm rough person so most wallet cannot last and also have minimal leather card wallet with money clips for my daily none activity use (which cost me sgd 40 only) ....

Hi guys

what brand should I go for next ?

Been using a salvatore long wallet for more than 6 years

Leather on the folding side is now peeled af

So gotta move on

Is LV the next best choice?

Now that's leather snob!

Simple card holder from a local maker. Full grain leather. Hand stitched with Victoria Blue linen thread. Hand painted edges.

Just migrated from long wallet to card case (temporary, bcoz need to clean the wallet) but damn card case also feels good and nice to touch

Try Valextra.

Where can I find Ettinger in KL?

Closest that I know of is in Singapore. https://www.onlybrown.com/collections/wallets

Looks like mostly sold out.
Today walk around isetan parkson Robinsons, I'm so disappointed at the selection. Somore mostly selling that stupid Singapore gold lion brand.

Wanted to buy bellroy at first but after I touched it felt so plasticy and low quality. Hope I can find some ettinger
