Recently purchased a Tony the Ant in #8 shell Cordovan, as a gift for a friend’s 30th birthday. His old wallet was beyond repair and in serious need of replacing. While I can’t comment on how it feels or carries in the pocket, I did take a quick peek inside the box before gifting it to my friend. (I mean, can you blame me?). His new wallet will easily last him Another 30 years and more. The color #8 shell Cordovan is absolutely stunning, and put on full display by the wallet’s beautiful craftsmanship. The customer service from Ashland is also top notch. Phil was very quick to respond in correcting a mistake (totally my fault) before the wallet shipped out, which arrived faster than expected. Without a doubt, the next time I review an Ashland wallet, it will be as an owner.
