I really like the wallets. This style of wallet has always been a favorite of mine. I read in your post that you waiting on some leather from Springfield Leather. I deal with them (Springfield Leather) on a weekly basis and live here in Springfield. I can tell you that you wont find a more knowledgeable group of people and great variety of leather. Herman Oak is what I use and the finish of there Veg Tan leather is the best I have seen. The coloring they use at the tannery is different from any others I've worked with. The hides have less flaws and markings then other types of veg tan I've used. If you ask for the top grade you won't be disapointed.
