I purchased a nice black midlength wallet from Blackyrock a seller I had found. Note mine wasn't chromexcel. Mine was bridal leather. A couple pictures of it below. The price was the best I could find and his quality and service was great. He sells on Ebay and has a Tumbler page that has great pictures and an email. He can make items out of most any type of leather. blackyrock.tumblr.BlackyrockEbay  |

I think it was around $130 bridal leather. Will update when I find out. I see all the ones he has one Ebay are chromexcel which is more. $250 with rein and belt clip. Probably get a better price buying direct from him.

I purchased a leather lanyard, used a chain for years, on Ebay and a belt loop at another seller. Will list on belt loops/key chains thread.
Blackyrock wasn't selling them at the time.

Any pics of your wallet with some age on it? How has it held up? How long have you had it?

Any pics of your wallet with some age on it? How has it held up? How long have you had it? I have had it a year to the month. I carry it most every day. I love it still. It is looking still like new. No real wear in a bad way at all. The leather has stretched a little from the cards inside but I think it is holding up great. Our dog chewed on it a little when a puppy. Some little tooth marks.    |

Well thanks to Winterland I picked up a blackyrock mid wallet. It's amazing! You can see his work on instagram, tumblr and ebay (just google "blackyrock") His ebay store is his stock, but he seems more than willing to make any of his items just for you in the leather of your choice. He didn't have in stock what I wanted, but it took him less than 2 weeks to get me my wallet. That is very fast for custom work (methinks this nice gentleman needs more work!) We exchanged a few emails along the way. His responses were super fast and he was happy to put up with my questioning minutia. My wallet is all Hermann Oak vegtan, except for the small strip inside the money compartment holding the brass d-ring on which calf vegtan. Blackyrock did that for construction reasons that are beyond my knowledge. The rein is also calf, the hermann oak was too thick to work for it. These first few pictures he took and the vegtan is completely raw.   I took these pictures after giving the leather a wipe down with Obenauf's leather oil.     |

It looks amazing and will only look better with age. You would have to pay way more than you did to get something comparable anywhere else. Great leather lanyard also. |

Good one.  I know you are joking but just to be clear for some who might not know, I was mostly talking about when many members are responding to a new post all at the same time. There could be 10 posts in a row with all the same pictures. A lot to scroll through. When someone is quoting an old post it could be a good idea to leave in the pictures as otherwise many might not have see them. Especially when a forum user is using the Recent Posts link exclusively. I know it can be hard to delete the pictures links when quoting using a phone. We will clean up threads as needed. Just do the best you can. |

Great leather lanyard also. Thanks! I am really enjoying it. I have to admit I was bit sheepish about the lanyard at first. I've never worn one. But only one person has made a comment a fall he said was "I see you have a new wallet." I guess like a like of conspicuous fashion choices, if you own it - it works. |

I have one of their black folding card cases. Very happy with it. Every so often they reduce things 50% off on ebay to move items. I got mine on sale.
