Posting up two used card wallets,
First up is a test piece I made out of J&FJ Baker Russian Calf.
I’ve been curious about this leather and was able to procure some. It’s notorious expensive for a calf leather that is near the cost of shell Cordovan.
From the tannery:
Baker’s Russian Leather is a reproduction of the legendary and coveted Russian Leather. We studied the only known remaining, 18th century rolls of leather recovered from the shipwrecked Metta Catharina off the Devon/Cornwall coastal border, to recreate the leather’s unique colour, print, thickness, texture, supple yet firm handling, smell and durable qualities.
Asking for $35 shipped
Next is one made from Horween English Tan Dublin. This one is also used and the stitching is a bit off but not too noticeable.
Asking for $23 shipping
