Captain, what have you been using for its treatment to make it finally looking so gorgeous? Pecard? Oiled beeswax? Or anything else perhaps?
The result looks impressive!Most of it comes from years of wear (this belt is from ~2012), treatments will tend to darken but more uniformly. I use Obenaufs and JE Sedgwick when/if required.
My wallet finally came, it is already colored camel and glossed a little because i picked a version with light finish to protect it a little against indigo stain, the belt clip is natural (oiled by minkoil earlier), my new belt has aged a little more becomes more russet now, and the brown belt is my very old vegleather belt from highschool, i never wore them for past 2 decades because the prong was broken just hanging behind the door of my wardrobe room, last weekend I made a DIY prong from stainless steel wire, the old leather has surface cracks allover but i have oiled it and it is supple again, it was never a natural pale, i remember it was dyed a little tan/ camel when new, the leather is rather thin, from hongkong mall brand Bossini but it hold up fine. Green bifold is my old wallet i design and made myself from white goatskin, overtime it developed green hue

wow, nice selection there. link saved
Wow! Even my cheap ass eBay wallet cost that. It’s leather but looks like it was soaked in some kind of epoxy. It’s lasted though and I threw a brass chain on it.wow, nice selection there. link saved
however mine is 1/3 of that price locally made, I believe most of the leather artisan here are based in west java, before we need to browse into local forum, and privately contact the maker through facebook or sms or WA, but now some local brands have nice and easy to browse website although payment option is still pretty much oriented towards domestic market.
this one I bought, at the time I didn't know it was MTO, but after I read around their web again and found somewhere in the other section, I found out they use mto for all article unless mentioned otherwise as readystock, but it was a very quick one I bought on 11, and by 18 I received it

if I calculate the price into $ then it was merely $40 for the wallet
I actually love those. But yeah I get it. His/her hardware seems really nice too. Damn jackets won’t allow for any peripheral funds to spill in that direction. Or any other TBH.Yeah everything here looks top notch.
Although I do like it and this seems to be this brands’ signature, I just wish they didn’t have to use those old coins on most of their wallets.
