High end wallets

tinman44 · Apr 20, 2010

I've seen a few hogs with some really nice wallets and I'm hoping I can tap into some research already done. I'm looking for a nice leather trucker wallet with titanium hardware and chain. I found a nice wallet maker http://www.leathergoodsconnection.com/ and found very few titanium chains here and there but no one who has them both together. I'm thinking David Brown will have some info here but all hogs are welcome to chime in. We need some kind of Busse Group favorites sticky with links to things such as the leather briefcases that were here not so long ago, scotches, tuff writers....you get the idea.

Check out Big Papa Leather, and Kevin King Leather.

These guys both do really nice work.

If you need something from Kevin King, let me know. I work with him directly. His webpage is outdated, but if you PM me, I'll send you a link to my photobucket where you can see a bunch of his stuff.

Also, check out Steel Flame. Derrick just started making wallets and they're FRESH!

As for Ti waller chains, I know a few guys who can make pretty nice ones out of Ti rings. They weave them all together, Byzantine style, and you can dictate length. I think David Brown actually does them from time to time.

Good luck, and let me know if I can help.

Ah yes!

Here is one of David's chains. I fell in love with it last year at Blade.

Not "high-end" from the "fancy-schmancy" perspective....but this is the best wallet I've ever owned: http://www.specopsbrand.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductID=11

http://www.saddlebackleather.com/ is bombproof. I have the Bi-Fold Large Wallet. It's like a murse for your pocket.

Mymind,

I just checked out Saddleback, and ended up ordering one of those same wallets. I'm sure I'll be back for a bag later.

Doesn't really match any of my tacticool nylon kit, but whatever. I can appreciate fine leather - that's why I have it for both of my Busse's, in addition to kydex.

Cool! Mine takes a beating with all the notes, bills, band-aids and such I keep in it. I have kids, so no money ever stays in it.

I like All Ett wallets...cheap, sturdy and THIN.

PaveHammer · Apr 21, 2010

Mymind,

Ohgod, I've been back to the website countless times since I ordered the wallet, and will be phoning the girls in customer service shortly to add one of the briefcases to the order.

Why did you have to post a link? Why?

I have the same wallet in black and I can't say enough good things about it. Seems way underpriced to me.

I'mGatMan! · Apr 21, 2010

That's funny...I remember when I first posted in here about my briefcase a few years back, the fervor was the same.

Dave will take GOOD care of you, and his products will take even BETTER care!

Just for fun, here is my boy Paulie's Saddleback wallet with some Steel Flame additions:

And for even more fun, here are the newest releases from my boy Derrick at Steel Flame!

Enjoy!

Here are a couple quick pics of Kevin's work:

And here's my two FAVORITE pieces by him:

Gatman-

Yeah- the wallet on the bottom. tell me how to purchase it please.

I'mGatMan! · Apr 21, 2010

Hey Gus,

The Spanish Bride custom wallet at the bottom was a piece done for a friend's wedding. It has like 6-7 different types of skin in it. If you want something like that, holler at me through my email (it's in my profile) and we'll talk to Kev.

Here's the last wallet he made and sold:

PaveHammer · Apr 21, 2010

Well, it is done. My order is confirmed.

What started out as a $55 wallet turned into $638 worth of wallet and briefcase. I went with a Large Bifold and a Large Briefcase, both in Dark Coffee.

Did I mention that I spent about four hours on the website, time that I could've used to write my last paper? Finishing 3rd year of university would seem like a priority to some, but it comes second to buying high-end kit!

I can't afford to eat or put gas in the car, but when I'm walking to school, by God I'll be able to carry my belongings effectively and with style!

Please don't post any more links. Ever.
