Phil, I have been browsing and dreaming of purchasing a Tony The Ant in Shell Cordovan Color #8 for almost 5 years. My middle school threw high school sweetheart and I reconnected after nearly 20 years and she convinced me to treat myself to the wallet. If I needed an excuse I turned 40 in January and its a perfect year to carry a new wallet that I’ll have forever. 5 years I’ve been waiting and I was taken back at how much I’ve truly enjoyed this from the moment I opened the box. It’s a sentimental piece for me. I am in Austin, Texas thriving in the culinary world, hosting a successful podcast called Austin All Day. I am very happy with where I am at 40 but I grew up in the Chicagoland area and I am very proud of that. Every time I open this wonderfully crafted wallet I get a little reminder of my stomping grounds. I want to thank you for doing what you do. Kudos!
