Received mine yesterday, and I'm very happy to report I am very impressed. As few details were nagging at me but I took the plunge nonetheless, as follows:
  1. I wasn't sure that, in the card slots below what you can see, if there was fabric or some other material. Happily - the very nice, soft leather lining both sides of the bill pocket and line the credit card pockets. Germane to me is that there is no fabric in this wallet.
  2. It wasn't clear if, in addition to the 8 credit card pockets, there were the so-called hidden pockets from the center of the wallet.... The answer is YES - those pockets are open and available for use.
  3. Some others wondered if the edges were finished. the answer to this is an absolute YES as well
This wallet is very nicely made and I'm quite stunned frankly they were able to hit that price point with a wallet whose exterior and interior pockets are all shell cordovan. The Ashland wallets at 2x the price on Massdrop only have the exterior cordovan. I bought a British Belt Co, well, 'belt' (go figure) and was quite impressed so I rolled the dice. Other observations: My current wallet is a "neiman marcus" (looks like a Bosco) bifold "slim" (Ebay purchase). The British Belt Co. wallet is definitely a bit thicker, likely due to the thicker leather and use of leather instead of fabric between card slots. Once in my back pocket for a period of time, I'm sure it'll compress a bit. It definitely needs breaking in. With the lined leather, full use of cordovan for exterior/interior bits, and finished edges, this is a much more classy piece. I'm sure other brands will hold up just fine, but they have a more informal, rustic (dare I say unfinished?) look that appealing in its own right.
