This may get long winded… Most importantly, Phil made me a special order item. He was more than accommodating and really provided great service with almost instant quotes and accurate stock of material. He told me it would take 4 weeks to build but I RECEIVED the piece in about 2 weeks. Perfect transaction. I would recommend to anyone I know. Now the actual item was a Bugs Moran wallet. I asked for a vertical pocket version. I finally decided which material and had it made in tan English Dublin. Pros Absolutely gorgeous material, absolutely flawless stitching, I can’t find anything wrong with it. No loose threads, very sturdy. Pockets are perfect size and stretch perfectly to your cards. The “hidden” horizontal pockets are perfect for a few folded bills. I would say my favorite is the fact that only one layer is folded so u don’t have the effect of typical bifolds. I hate the stress crease that style forms. Big win for me! Patina will come quickly with this wallet and should be remarkably gorgeous. Smell is great too. Cons Scratches somewhat easily not a biggie. Will look better with time THIS IS JUST A PERSONAL NITPICK I would have preferred just a stamped A for minimalistic looks but that disrespects the brand. Ultimately someone will ask me about my wallet and I will proudly show them it is Ashland. About me. Im not a giant mountain man. I am not a slim city guy with dress shoes. I don’t mind either style. I am somewhere in the middle. Work boots, Levi 541 cheap plain pocket T-shirt (not usually white) this wallet hits that balance. Slim if I need khakis or the occasional dress pant or going the other way, fits my sweat pants or athletic pants. Always in the front pocket. Although slim enough for the back and not really sit on it. YMMV
