Veg tanned leather will looked trash very soon if it is not your thing.

I have encounter people who want full grain top shelf stuff but grumble when damn thing patina or scratch.

Confirm will developed patina. If u want shortcut change patina color instead of creases of daily usage apply mind oil etc. I choose high quality leather anytime instead of brand. People are proud of their LV highly coated canvas wallet ( + is they last a long time), i want pure animal skin. My phone case is made from a complete piece of full grain veg tanned leather and they looked very thrash and disgusting. Waifu complain but i am still using it.

Ashland leather sells wallet and other stuff made from Horween leather. Quality is exceptional. But i am sure other member can share more places to get high quality stuff.

Looked at the stuff made from Shell Cordovan (horse leather) if you want the best of the best.

Thanks for the recommendation bro, but it’s a bit too pricey for my taste, and I don’t think I’m looking for the best leather here, nor do I care about brand. As long as it’s decent, durable, good quality and most importantly develops patina, that’s all I want. I guess in the end I might go with Extreme since their quality are very decent enough, unless anyone here comes up with another.

What kind of look are you after? Perhaps share some pics that you think look nice?

The leather Extreme uses will change with time, but because it's not a smooth leather, it's not the kind of look I'd associate with the word patina.

I see Fu has an assortment of Buttero leather. It does come in natural and also a number of colours. The natural will patina the most. Black almost not at all.

Here is a picture of a card holder/lanyard I made a few years ago using green Buttero, next to the original skin I cut it from. Is this the kind of patina you had in mind?

Hey man, I'm looking for this kind of long wallet design






For patina I'm looking for wallets that can achieve such patina



Also wondering if Extreme's wallet would be able to achieve that kind of patina.

Guys im looking for a replacement belt for my BB buckle, the leather start falling off lol. Found 1 singapore one Aquila but is kinda pricey, also thinking support local but my buckle is with blue so prefer to have blue saffiano or pebble grain type leather to match with. Hopefully can get some recommendations here
