Latigo Bifold Wallet — I

Description

The plainest bifold in the line and the thinnest. Latigo from a Milwaukee tannery, split to 3 oz, with two card pockets a side and a single bill sleeve running the full width. No lining, no interior slip, nothing between your hand and the hide. Folded it measures 4.25 by 3.5 inches and starts around three sixteenths of an inch thick, which is thin enough to sit in a front pocket. Latigo is tanned with oil and wax, so it arrives supple, shrugs off a splash better than vegetable-tanned hide and takes a shine along the fold within weeks. Saddle-stitched with waxed linen. Condition it when it stops feeling oily, roughly once a year.
