Alligator biker wallets, only available here!

Due to my failure to pay attention to the fine print in the Etsy policy section, a couple of my listings for wallets were removed. It turns out that they don't allow the sale of any products made with alligator hide, even though this leather is from a legally harvested American alligator. Which means that there are now two alligator biker wallets that you can purchase directly from me.

Up first is one long biker wallet, with the exterior and belt loop in alligator and the interior of both in black buffalo calf. The alligator is burnt orange (the tannery called this color "Peanut"), and isn't as vivid as the color appears on my monitor. The edges are braided in the Spanish two-loop pattern with black cowhide, the chain has been made by hand in a Full Persian 6-1 pattern, and the rings and clips are all stainless steel. The chain can be completely detached from the wallet and belt loop, should one want or need to use the wallet without it. There are 8 card pockets, each of which can hold 2-3 cards easily, and two large pockets for cash, receipts, notes, etc. All sewing, braiding, cutting, and chain assembly is by hand.

Dimensions are approximately 8 3/8" long by 3 3/4" wide by 1/2" when empty, and the chain is approximately 19 1/2" long. Price is $300, and I'll ship it anywhere in the US for free. If you are overseas, get in touch with me and we'll figure out the shipping cost. wombatsucker@gmail.com









The second one is a long biker wallet, constructed out of alligator and a bluish-gray nubuck leather that I've been quite partial to lately. The alligator is burnt orange (the tannery called this color "Peanut"), and isn't as vivid as the color appears on my monitor. The edges are braided in the Spanish two-loop pattern with brown kangaroo lace, the chain has been made by hand in a Full Persian 6-1 pattern, and the rings and clips are all stainless steel. The chain can be completely detached from the wallet and belt loop, should one want or need to use the wallet without it. There are 8 card pockets, each of which can hold 2-3 cards easily, and two large pockets for cash, receipts, notes, etc. All sewing, braiding, cutting, and chain assembly is by hand.

Dimensions are approximately 8 1/4" long by 3 3/4" wide by 1/2" when empty, and the chain is approximately 19 1/2" long. Price is $275, and I'll ship for free anywhere in the US. If you're overseas, get in touch with me and we'll figure out the shipping cost. wombatsucker@gmail.com
