Hi Michael, I would have guessed that shell in the rear pocket might stain a bit. Is this not a problem?

Another thumbs up for Makr. My first wallet from them was damaged in shipping and Jason took care of it quickly. The wallet is wearing beautifully so far. Jason–any chance of a small run of simple leather keychains?

Awesome workmanship. And here’s an interesting article from BusinessWeek on the Horween Company. http://www.businessweek.com/smallbiz/content/may2008/sb20080516_545063.htm. (Did you know Horween is the official supplier for the NFL and NBA with their leather for balls?)

Makr wallets are indeed great.

Tracey, if they’re too rich for your blood, you can’t go wrong scouring craft fairs. There are lots of solo leatherworker guys out there. Their designs are usually not as nice as Makr’s but the craftsmanship and materials are excellent.

You can tell it is something special when even the packaging box looks good.

Awesome. I’ve had a Makr wallet for about a year now and I absolutely love it. It’s held up fantastically so far, I expect many years of use.

Just found this blog and I adore it. I am now in love with things I cannot afford.

I suppose there are worse fates.

I have a feeling if I bought that thing I wouldn’t have anything left over to fill it.

Beautiful though.

The blue one is fantastic!
