A front-pocket wallet for people who carry cards and a little cash, and want neither to bulge.
The Riley is cut from Horween Dublin, a full-grain leather tanned in Chicago at a tannery that's been running since 1905. It's hot-stuffed with oils and waxes, which means the finish isn't sprayed on top of the hide; it's in it. Scratches burnish out with a thumb instead of staying.
Two card pockets on the front hold the cards you reach for daily, with a third slim pocket above for the ones you don't. Cards slide in tight at first and loosen to your carry over the first few weeks. The steel money clip on the back holds [up to 10] folded bills flat against the leather, so there's no second fold and no brick in your pocket.
Every stitch is a hand saddle stitch, two needles through one hole, using Ritza Tiger thread. A machine lockstitch unravels when one thread breaks. A saddle stitch doesn't. Edges are hand-beveled, sanded, and burnished, not painted, so they wear smooth instead of chipping.
Six months in, the leather will be a shade darker where your hand meets it. Two years in, it will look like yours and no one else's.

Made to order
Each Riley is cut, stitched, and finished by hand after you order it. Current lead time is [5–7 business days] before it ships. Because this is real full-grain leather, grain and color vary slightly from piece to piece. That's the hide, not a flaw.
Guaranteed for life
If the stitching fails or the hardware breaks under normal use, send it back, and I'll repair or replace it. No receipt needed, no time limit. I made it, so I'll stand behind it.
