I think this looks super nice for the price point! The customization options are really nice and it's great that the owner is so communicative during the crafting process.
You ever heard of the Capsule wallets? Their Minimalist and Ace wallets are as small as wallets can get, their sell on minimalism ain't just marketing! Have their Minimalist myself for years, loved it!
Nice wallet. I like a bit of color. I think the interior pocket is a little deep for cards but it seemed easy enough to remove them. The rating of 3.7 has a type, it shows 3.1. Which is too low for this nice product.
It’s a shame the stitching is so crooked and the leather doesn’t match up. I have the same wallet and its craftsmanship is nothing like this. Mines almost perfect.
This wallet is really nice but as a future resident of Japan I am always annoyed by how wallet makers fail to take the Yen into account. No exterior card slot is also a disappointment.
I'd be pretty upset if I spent $63 on a wallet and it looked like that. I don't normally criticize other people's work, but this just looks amateurish at best. To be fair, I have seen worse stitching, but it wasn't on a product that was being sold. What's even more baffling to me is that the product photos for this wallet on Etsy look even worse. I think this is what happens when someone watches a couple of UA-cam videos and are convinced that they've somehow become an expert craftsman. Has quality really become obsolete in today's society?

Stitching is horrible. I'm guessing the person was drunk when they stitched it? Leather is also a bit thick. It's already a brick before you put any cards in it.
quality is quite low. Nice pueblo leather, it's really easy to work with, it doesn't stretch, so it's easy to cut and bevel edges, burnishing the edges is very easy too, you can use only water and get nice and shiny edges. I also can see that edges were bevelled with dull beveler. Stitching is terrible, uneven stitches, wavy holes and thread end is just disgusting. Looks like the man started leathercraft couple months ago but already has logo stamp and sell his creatures for very reasonable price but if it would made by professional.

I own one of these, and love it. The owner is also really great on communication during the process.
Liking the split screen format. Keep up the wonderful wallet reviews.
Good review, Mark!

First. Not a bad wallet priced fair. ❤

Pretty cool. Maybe I'll pick one up for my godson.
Seems like a good wallet and I like the layout. That being said, QC should be better with the leather not being lined up and the crooked makers mark.

…I don’t think the interior card slot can actually be detached by removing screws on the bottom like the caption says.

Today is the day I realized I've been watching wallet reviews by Chris Hansen
There are many defects on this wallet. The design is nice
Haven't watched any of your videos for a few months - where's all that hair come from??
Too bad the stitching is so crooked. The leather pieces are also quite thick. Nice color choices and design though.
No work done with the left hand no matter what it seems.
Good review! Are you a fellow Zonie?

Wow man. I just went and looked at several of your products and could say the same for you! Let's not throw stones when we live in glass houses.....
@@MeganFarwell I have products listed for sale somewhere? That's news to me! 🤔
I definitely agree with you. Too many people sell before perfecting.
@@matchstickdesignco So when you talk about "customers" and "orders" on your Facebook page, that's just a lie? 🤨

Agree. I’ve been crafting less than 6 months and my product looks 10x better. Needs better tools and techniques
