hidepounder Posted October 7, 2009 Report Posted October 7, 2009 Kevin, I don't use a lot of them but feel they are the best alternative to those I make myself. I offer them to my customers as an alternative in order to reduce price. I purchased a bunch of interiors a couple of years ago and am about out of them. I think they are a very quality product. My one and only criticism is that the zippers Kieth uses have a very distinct pink color to them which does not look good when installed. I've had to remove and install my own zippers on occassion because the pink color was just not acceptable. Overall I'm a big fan! Bobby Quote
Moderator Johanna Posted October 7, 2009 Moderator Report Posted October 7, 2009 I've seen their products, and they are high quality. Keith has made a point of incorporating his customers' feedback into his designs, and the designs themselves are practical and clean. I think the market will bear the higher price point because it's still cheaper and quicker to buy C-F interiors than to do guts from scratch, and if you are all about quality, you can't use the "standard" crummy insides that have been selling for years at the lower price point. Most of those are so bad you have to do the insides yourself or be embarrassed. Johanna I googled them because I knew they had a link, and the first 5 hits were to LW.

Moderator bruce johnson Posted October 7, 2009 Moderator Report Posted October 7, 2009 Kevin, My brutally honest experience. I am going to be in the minority and not a 100% satisfied customer. I bought a pretty good sack full of CF inserts at Sheridan 4 years ago or so. I think I had a couple styles of wallet liners, at least two of the same style purse setups, and some small card cases. In their defense, they are very thin and sleek. I am with Bob on the zippers. There is a pretty small sewing lip allowance on some of the inserts. Machines can tend to run off the edge. I think I remembered one to have a fair amount of fabric that bled glue. Customer experience for guys wallets has not been real stellar. I made one for myself to see and the guts lasted about 6 months. My Tandy guts had lasted about 6 years in the one I was packing before and were still good. The Tandy gut one that replaced the CF has been good for a few years. I bought up all the unpunched Tandy Premier wallet liner guts I could find. I have three sets left. Wallets are not a big order deal for me, but we all get a few orders and I always have one on hand for an emergency gift order.
