    Matching thread to the lighter colored leather is generally recommended. For exotics, it's suggested to match the exterior. Note: As item is hand-sewn, thread color will be the same on both exterior and interior.

    Standard font is limited to capital letters only (max 2 of the same letter). The old style font is smaller, but more expansive allowing for upper and lower case letters as well as numbers and symbols.

    Initials will be stamped in the inner bottom right corner for folding items and in the front bottom right corner for non-folding items, unless specified otherwise. For items with the mini pocket addition, initials will be stamped in the center.

    Please note that foil show may premature wear compared to the rest of the item.

    Please select this option for any non-Latin characters, like Chinese, Arabic, etc. A standard font & size will be chosen. If you wish for more control over the look, please choose the custom image option instead.

Solid craftsmanship

Got a vertical bifold and it was as good as it came. I asked for a window modification and they were able to accommodate!

Outstanding wallet!

While searching the internet for Shinki shell cordovan, I stumbled upon this site and am so happy I did! Silas' creations are true works of art and I found that he pays great attention to details and is very easy to work with. I spec'd out my dream vertical bifold with purple Leder Ogawa interior and brown museum interior, and the resulting wallet is truly exquisite. I would recommend Leatherbound wallets without reservation.
