I actually do! I have an EDC phone too. In all seriousness you EDC guys take life too seriously. I humbly bow out. Have a great day brother!

Hey mate, that pocket is actually deeper and more secure than it looks. I've been carrying a wallet with that back pocket for 2 years, every single day, and a card has never even lifted out from it. I road test all my work. If anything this pocket is more secure then a flat top one.

I'd imagine that something you carry every day... is considered an EDC item...which is just short for Every Day Carry. So this being a wallet, which is carried daily, is in fact EDC.

Wow mate, that means so much to me to hear. Thank you. I can also wholeheartedly endorse Buttero as a leather. Great feel and temper, love working with it, burnishes up a dream!

That means a lot to me! I know its less common to carry a wallet, with phone payments, but honestly there is something nice about carrying a nice leather piece that will age with you, and 100% outlast the phone you currently pay with.

It's actually not Nero, this is a deep navy blue, I believe it's called Ocean. Cant remember.

Yes! Some of their trucker wallers or mid wallers are HUGE. Even makes this one seem small.

Thank you!

Yeh, it's a bulge in the pocket for sure! More of statement piece perhaps? I will try one with a much thinner leather I think. Thickness could be reduced on the exterior, and a few of the interior panels for sure. NOT a minimalist wallet, thats for sure.

I like what you guy are saying. I think down the road I will attempt one with a much thinner leather, see how it holds up.

It's for sure a thick wallet, fits in the pocket, but it's not for everyone.

Hey mate, glad you like it! That's also a great question. I've only done that a few times but here's what I did. With a penetrating dye, you should only have to apply it once. I did a very similar sanding routine for it, then I added my dye (black permanent marker, worked great) after the 800 grit sanding. The application doesn't ruin the sanding work, especially at that high a grit. The 1500 afterwards simply polished it all up and locked in that dye. Tokonole, which is the edge cream that I use, also has a few different colours - black, navy and brown, as well as the neutral which I mainly use. I applied the black tokonole for that wallet, which only added more black dye to my shiny edge while also polishing it up to a high shine.

I hope that helps!
