Product: Blackthorn Leather's (Antique Brown) Brogued Rover II Wallet

I have been carrying around the Brogued Rover II Wallet (in Antique Brown) daily for a little over a month now and it is a tank!  On some of my other wallets, the card slots stretch out within a week or two; this thing is still loosening up!  There is no need to worry about anything falling out of this puppy.  It is designed to hold up to 8 cards and some cash.  As of right now, I have 5 cards in there that fit nice and snug.

The Blackthorn Leather Wallet with the RW Blacksmith Boots!

Andy, the crafter at Blackthorn Leather, antiques and dyes the full grain, vegetable tanned leather by hand as well as burnishing and sanding the edges.  The brogue work is also done by Andy and the wallet is finished off with a protective top coat to keep it looking pristine.  The wallet is sewn together using the saddle-stitching technique, and will not be falling apart anytime soon!  "Blackthorn Leather" is laser engraved on the back of the wallet right under the money clip.

The money clip is made of steel and was custom designed by Andy just for his wallets.  It is very strong and could probably hold a few more cards (if you don't carry cash) securely if you run out of room in the sleeves.  Initially, I was concerned that the clip would add too much bulk and either not fit in my front pockets or just look awkward.  However, the wallet slides smoothly into my (right) pocket and does not bulge out.  I wear mostly denim jeans made in the traditional 5-pocket model.  The wallet might be more noticeable if the front of the pockets are tighter, like on skinny jeans.

Complete with a Steel Money Clip

I will do a 6 month product update on this wallet and I have a feeling it will be performing just as well and possibly look even better after a little aging!  A perfect EDC companion.

The Brogued Rover II Wallet is Available in Three Color Choices:

Product: Irish Claddagh Leather Valet Tray

If you are wondering what that symbol is in the middle of the valet tray, it is called the "Irish Claddagh", which is commonly used on rings.  The two hands symbolize friendship, the heart stands for love, and the crown means loyalty.  To learn more about the significance of this symbol and why it is used on rings click here.

The Irish Claddagh has significant meaning to me as I am set to get married in less than two months!  I am also losing my keys all the time (driving my fiancé crazy) so this tray is perfect for a man who sometimes leaves his keys in the fridge (true story).  I keep it on a stand by the front door and now just drop my EDC items (including a Blackthorn Leather Brogued Rogue II Wallet & Custom Key Fob) in there when I get home.  Admittedly, it is still a habit I am getting used to but it is already helping me with my lack of organizational skills!

The valet tray is made out of full grain, crazy horse leather with the Irish Claddagh symbol being engraved on a natural piece of vegetable tanned leather that should patina nicely overtime.  The vegetable tanned leather square is sewn and riveted to the bottom of the tray so no need to worry about it falling off.  .

​The measurements of the tray are an approx. 8" wide and 1.25" deep, giving you plenty of room.  A neat feature is that the hardware can be easily unsnapped if you want to travel with it.  The hardware comes in your choice of antique brass or pewter and "Blackthorn Leather" is engraved on one of the sides of the crazy horse leather.

Andy has put his unique spin on the leather valet tray and right now as many different patterns and symbols available.  Check out some of them below!
