This quite surprises me: I hadn't supposed from what I've seen and read you'd like this style.View attachment 11041
Custom Motörhead warpig cufflinks from Deakins & Francis out of oxidized sterling silver with diamond eyes. Just arrived yesterday.
I have a small bag from them. Quite we'll done, picked it up on sale last year.What do people here know about Smythson?
They are having a huge sale it seems with some (possibly) nice items. Are they up to the level of Ettinger? They are certainly expensive, but it seems they don’t manufacture themselves (anymore), at least for some items, and source the stuff from Italy and Spain.

Might give it a try then, something small as a test. I have some stuff from Ettinger and it’s awesome, wouldn’t really want anything less.I have a small bag from them. Quite we'll done, picked it up on sale last year.
I've been a purchaser of their planners for many many years
I've never carried cash in my wallet since I was a school boy. I still carry a roll or wad to mess with store clerks and to give to the grandkids.Even I've gone cashless these days, so I just use one of the Secrid (made in The Hague) card holders.
no money clip?I've never carried cash in my wallet since I was a school boy. I still carry a roll or wad to mess with store clerks and to give to the grandkids.
why do you favor the zipper pouch or a standard card case type?I've given up on Bellroy and their shitty zippers. This zipper lasted 3 years and I've been using it broken for a year. The zipper pull usually falls off a year earlier. So I went a bit upscale and a little bigger. Shinki natural cordovan leather from The Superior Labor in Okayama.

The Bellroy is 10.3 cm x 6.6 cm and this one is 11 cm x 8 cm, so it is 1.3 cm (0.5 inches) longer and wider. About the same thickness loaded. Still fits nicely as a front pocket wallet.

View attachment 20546 Nearly four years and still love it, but I am carrying three fewer cards these days and now the fit is a bit sloppy. Before I handed in my two purchase cards it was perfect - continued to stretch as my number of cards expanded. I know I got it off Etsy but can't recall the seller.
After seven years I replaced in with another One Star front pocket wallet. I’m going to try to keep it to 7 cards and not stretch beyond that.

Have you ever checked out Makr?My Bellroy bifold has run its course and the card slots are getting pretty stretched out. Before I buy another one I thought I’d check in with the panel of judges to see if there were any other good options out there. I’m forced to carry cash these days because ton of restaurants and stores around here are doing the credit card fee addon thing.

I have the credit card case, >10 years of daily use and it is still in perfect shape. I have some other stuff from them but I like the leather they use for this line the most. I'd certainly get another one, but I don't see why it shouldn't last another decade. Minimal stretch in the card slots and a minor dent in one corner where I put the most used credit card, that's it. Corners and stitching still in excellent shape.
No. I remember you put me on to Bellroy back in the day. How would you compare the two?
Makr is handmade and well-built. Similar price point to Bellroy. More premium options if that is a consideration.No. I remember you put me on to Bellroy back in the day. How would you compare the two?
I am sorry I thought you wanted good options!Look at the fancy man over here. Ok daddy warbucks!
Premium isn’t exactly a necessity it’s more of a function thing. I like the bellroy because it has the pocket next to the card slot on the left side so I can put all my non-credit card cards.Makr is handmade and well-built. Similar price point to Bellroy.

I do but I didnt think I didn’t think I’d have to knock over a bank to do it.I am sorry I thought you wanted good options!
