I'd never heard of Ashland Leather, but found them online while searching. Their product selection had a match to what I was looking for, so I took a chance. I was pleased with the communication provided after purchase. The product arrived, packaged in a very nice presentation, and initial quality seemed impressive. I have only had the wallet for about 4 days now, but it is comfortable, and I look forward to hopefully years of use. I feel the price paid was reasonable given the look/feel of the product as well. Product seems well made, and matched the description on the website.
