The "English" Bridle leather used for these wallets is tanned in the U.S.A. I'm using it to make some of the same styles as the calfskin wallets. This Bridle Leather makes a more firm wallet than the Calfskin Leather. The light color is a little darker or lighter than the way it came out in the pictures depending on the batch I have in stock. Other bridle leather colors are shown on the Bridle Leather Belt page.
I expect these wallets to break in with a more leathery look and to darken more with use. Since this is a new offering... you will have to let me know about that in a few years.
When I handle it, it makes that noise you hear when stepping into the saddle, that leather against leather noise. Wallets #1, #2, #3, measure 3-5/8" X 8-3/4" when open. Wallet #4 Measures 8-3/4" x 4-1/4" open and 4-1/4" x 3" closed.
This larger wallet costs $10.00 more than the other wallets on this page.
Hipster Passport Wallet made in bridle leather. A special feature of the large rear section is a divider pocket at the top for holding U.S. currency. Measures 4-1/2" x 5-7/8" closed. Shown in foreground is this passport wallet in the brown shrunken grain leather as shown on the calfskin wallet page. This wallet is available here in Natural, Lt. Brown, Med. Brown, Dk. Brown, and Black Bridle leather.
Letters are 3/16" high and located on interior of wallet.
That's what's used for the calfskin wallets... Gold foil? That isn't what this leather is about. lets just brand these! No fancy foil, lets just burn it in!
