No one will comment on how cool your wallet is . . . this year. In ten years for sure, but not this year. It's nothing fancy. It doesn't have a window for your driver's license and it there's no plastic spare key holder. It's just a very solid wallet made with leather from the top of the hide called full grain (where the fibers are the most tightly woven together). It will be the longest lasting wallet you'll ever own and least exciting. . . the first year.

Thieves won't be stealing it for the contents - It'll look even cooler when you're 84
- Thick, but not too thick 100% Full Grain leather, not inferior top grain, genuine or bonded leather. Our leather isn't tenderized from the tannery (broken down -often described as buttery soft). That's your job.
- 100 yr. warranty. If it wears out before you do, we'll replace it for free. I know that's a big claim, but you'll understand when you get it.
- Lined with pigskin, which is tougher than cow skin
- Sewn with industrial marine grade thick Polyester thread at 7 stitches per inch as opposed to cheaper nylon thread at 9 stitches per inch.
- Caveat emptor- Technically, a cheap factory can make one pocket with full grain leather and the rest of the entire wallet out of a perfectly matching synthetic or genuine leather and say, "Made WITH full grain leather". Watch out, they do the same with furniture. Saddleback does not use anything but full grain leather and pigskin. You get what you pay for.

How can I get my spouse to understand that I need this? Here's your rationale: Buy the best, cry once. It's all about the cost per year. In college, I bought a pair of very expensive shoes for my job as a waiter. I couldn't afford them, but I bought them anyhow. They were really light and comfortable and took me through two years of waiting tables and one year as a limo driver and another year of occasional use. And then they still looked good for a month of Sundays. Cost per year was about $25. Most of the other waiters bought a new pair of $55 heavy and uncomfortable shoes every 6 months because theirs wore out and looked ratty by then. One of the principles the successful in the world understand is this: If one buys quality from the start they save money. Don't be penny wise and dollar foolish. This will be one of the most savvy investments and inexpensive leather pieces you'll ever have. And remember, you must truly love yourself before you can love others. A couple of other things to think about you'll be more popular. Everybody isn't buying one. I'll invite you to my birthday party. What's wrong, you chicken? Which color should I get? Pick the one that fits who you are. I've observed what the bag owners tend to be like based on the color they have chosen over the years. The category below that fits you best is probably the color you'll enjoy most.

If you still aren't sure, then just buy all four colors. Are the animals tortured before they are slaughtered? Absolutely not ! With some pigs we do use waterboarding and sensory deprivation techniques previous to slaughtering them, but the cows do not require any special handling. Where can I see one of the bags in person? I don't have any of the items in stores and we're not big fans of folks coming to our home in San Antonio because of the weirdo factor. My sister, Patricia and her husband (my Chess and Scrabble nemesis), send out the leather from their place near Ft. Worth, Texas, but again, because of the weirdo factor they're not set up to show either. If it helps, everyone tells me that they look better in person. How much do they cost you, Dave? Well, I lived for three years in a $100 a month apartment in Mexico with no hot water, because of these bags. My dog, Blue, and I drove for thousands of hours all over the North American continent because of these bags. I had a crooked Federale sent to kill me because of these bags (I convinced him that Señor Alarcon would never pay him) and we became friends). I've shed gallons of blood and tears and sweat and at least a quart of other people's, because of these bags. I've slept in my car or on the rack of my old Land Cruiser at least 150 times because of these bags. I've lost weeks of sleep and have gone hungry for days because of these bags. I was broke for years and even had to trade two of Blue's little puppies for a month's worth of tacos in order to eat because of these bags. I've been detained by who knows how many Mexican police because of these bags. I've thrown away thousands of dollars and made hundreds of mistakes because of these bags. I've been stolen from, taken advantage of and robbed because of these bags (they even stole Blue once, but I got him back). All of these things and more have happened to me because of these bags. They cost me a lot.
