Before I started leathercraft I always loved the smell of leather and would always put my hand on it to feel the quality and then pick it up to see how well it was made. 

While I like your colour combinations.. This wallet looks great and and while plain to you, its something like what I would love to get for a present and cherish for ever.

Great job!

Thank you, my friend!  your reply reminded me of the following:  years ago when I wanted to by a wallet, a jacket, a bag (in general anything from leather) first I needed to smell all this stuf. That drove my wife nuts:)  to onlookers a man sniffing at a wallet seemed quite odd))  but for me that was one of key reasons to buy or not buy a thing.

Some leather had practically no scent, some had an unpleasant chemical scent, some smelt like fish ))) 

At the moment my vote in "best aroma" nomination goes to natural veg tanned cow leather (like Herman Oak or Argentina) and veg tanned horse leather (Avancorpo from ShellCordovan).

I vote horween horse. It smells fantastic.

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

That is No.1 in my wish list.

It is very a hard-to-get item for reasonable price here in Russia. We do not have distributors. Orderig directly from US makes the end product very expensive. 

As soon as find a customer for Horween, it will be a pleasant experience.

Maverick Leather sells it. They may ship internationally. They have mostly seconds, but they are still nice.
