rmr Report post Posted January 27, 2011 need to find someone to repair wallet I have a custom made wallet I purchased about 23 years ago in Sant Fe NM- evidently the shop is no longer in business- was right on the main square of the historic section of Sante Fe. The outside of the wallet is made from hippopotomus. When I bought it- the guy at the store told me he would bet the inside liners of the walett would wear out way before the outside considering how tough hippopotomus hide is. Well he was right- the outside of the wallet looks just like the day I bought it 23 yaers ago - but the inside linnings are torn and falling apart. I am looking for the name of a very repuatble leather worker to take the wallet apart- save the hippopotomus outer and recreate new inside liners- basically to refurbish the wallet back to new. I make leather gun cases but feel this is way out of my leage and I dont really want to mess up the hippo hide as I suspect that is something that is irreplacable. Anyone have any contacts Thanks Bob R Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
