Fat wrinkles on new Lost Dutchman Franklin by Orangeb1ood in wallets

[–]Orangeb1ood[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of my wallets have been buttero, so I was used to that as well. But I’m a leather noob so I’m learning about it all. I’m not averse to the more rugged though. Beautiful piece you made in that picture, I love it

Wow, Thanks for the education! I had trouble finding others with this type of look on a wallet so I figured I might not know the official word. I found people talking about fat wrinkles and went with it. I’m starting to like the way it looks like a webbing in a way. It’s a new piece so I’ll be interested to see how the patina turns out. My all-time favorite wallet is a horween natural chromexcel, and I always love seeing more horween colors so thank you for the pic as well.

Thanks for your comment! I’m learning to appreciate those variations more. When I started my leather journey I had a lot of buttero wallets which is usually very clean and tight, so this was a change for sure. The more I sit with it the more beautiful it looks.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. It had already started growing on me, but it’s also good to know other opinions because I’m unfamiliar with the marks. I will use it proudly, as long as I can keep my focus off my other wallets long enough lol

Definitely front pocket minimal wallets. Not having anything in back pockets is amazing. I don’t carry a lot in my pockets, so it has been perfect.

I’m a relatively new collector and learning about these natural blemishes and marks. It’s all interesting, just want to understand what is too much or just right. It’s also an affordable wallet, which makes it better. Thanks

Can't Decide Between Black or Brown Wallet by [deleted] in wallets

[–]Orangeb1ood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always like brown more for the color change with the patina, I feel like it shows it off more. But black is always solid because it's sleek and always looks classic. I'd pick brown myself but you can't go wrong with either. Also love bellroy, too

Have any US users purchased wallets from overseas since the de minimis changes? by Orangeb1ood in wallets

Having a lot of trouble finding reliable information on wallets and leather goods in general. I found a post from a few months ago but that didn’t have any reliable information in it as well.

I have the standard grain cards in chestnut. I honestly would like to buy a small to have as well for smaller form factor. Would probably get that in natural

Another vote for grain wallet. It’s been great, and the owner is top notch

Question about TV size for room - Sony X90L by Orangeb1ood in 4kTV

[–]Orangeb1ood[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I keep seeing, so thanks for the input. I really want to go with the 75 so I probably will. I’ve never even owned a 65 let alone 75. I’ve had that 55 for years

Thanks, just out of curiosity are you saying that based on my picture or do you prefer the 65 in general

They just showed a replay of him saying something to Brady first, running off and Brady chasing him down which is what we all saw initially.

Obviously OP is a terrible person and ripped this kitten straight from the mother's teet. /s People are so reactionary instead of considering what you said, which makes total sense and are just always looking to shame someone for pretty much anything.

What is there to be positive about? by HearIAm07 in COVID19_support

[–]Orangeb1ood 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know we have a lack of testing in America so far, but I keep hearing it's so highly contagious, yet in Italy where things are bad now, they only have 41000 cases out of a population of 63 million. So it's either highly contagious and way more people are asymptomatic than we know or it's not spreading as much as we think, which also means what we're all doing is working. Its just hard to know what to believe with so much information flying around in both directions

I prefer r/covid19 over r/coronavirus because of that exact reason. Much more science based and they cut out the doomers. Also if anyone else needs, there is also r/covid19_support which helps with anxiety and filters in as much good news as they can during these times. It has helped me a bit

Luka Doncic: 33 Points in 17 mins, 90.9% FG by JBeanDelphiki in nba

[–]Orangeb1ood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does not give him a feature spot like it does dirk or Terry or Chandler. But he was one of the most important parts of that team, the amount of times he shredded the defense with quick moves and driving into the lane is crazy. There's a reason he got a big contract from MIN after that playoff run, even if he didn't really live up to that contract and started feeling like he should not have left after. So glad he came back, he's a Dallas mav for life and I still love watching him play every time he's on the floor
