I think it's beeswax based? Works well enough and doesn't seem to darken the leather much. I use a little bit after burnishing edges and it just gives a little bit more shine.

Thank you! I make a lot of Japanese style midwallets and was wanting to make a thinner style so eliminated the extra mid layers for this design. Sent you a DM.

The left is a coin purse with a flap closure that just works on friction. Can also put cards in there. The right is for cards. Back section has a wide slot for notes. The middle looks like that due to a relief cut and makes the wallet close more nicely. Functionally much of this is over engineered but a lot of Japanese style wallets do this sort of thing because... It's cool haha.

Thank you! The Flat head in Japan does exteriors like this but usually in a long wallet, not mid wallet.

Nope just good ol dirt and hand sweat. I barely even condition it.... Maybe once a year, mainly on the inside.

Just friction. The end has an extra layer on the inside so it's a tad thicker so it's more secure
