I had an Alden shell cordovan card holder for about 12 years. Some moron at the gym decided to steal it last week. I didn’t care about the contents, but the wallet itself was the issue. Broken in, awesome patina, what you would expect from a 12 year old shell wallet. Alden doesn’t make the #8 anymore so I began my search for a comparable wallet. That’s when I discovered Ashland Leather. Your product was exactly twice as much, but I know what I like so I took the chance. I just received it today and OMG!!. This is by far the nicest wallet I’ve ever owned. The size, quality, workmanship, everything is outstanding. Keep up the great work. Thank you,
