I purchased two Shell Cordovan Fat Herbies, wondering whether I'd like the English Tan Dublin or the Color #8 better. In fact, I was dubious that I'd like either one, as I needed to be convinced that a wallet that held everything I needed existed in Shell Cordovan. I had had full grain leather with eight card slots on the inside, each large enough to put two cards into, with hidden pockets behind those and two bill holders rounding them out, but they were much thinner, and I wanted a high-quality, heirloom wallet this time. I was also anxious to see its patina over time. It turns out that I fell in love with how the English Tan Dublin contrasts so naturally with a pair of jeans that I didn't care what it looked like with dressier clothes (which it does match, after all). And I'm a convert--the Fat Herbie holds everything I wanted to have AND MORE! You really can get 16 cards into this wallet from the very start, and it only takes a few days for the pockets to stretch so that you can slide the cards in and out naturally! I've had my wallets for about a month now, and although I'm still untraining my brain from a lifetime of looking inside and on top to access the billfold, the wallet is a perfect fit for my pocket. I still need to find a use for my initial-engraved #8, and I wish I had chosen one at a time. But please hear me out! I am NOT someone who reviews things, good or bad. If I can give feedback to the company privately (and usually constructively), I will. But I love this wallet SO MUCH that I'm taking the time to leave a review. It's a 100% win; 10/10; a royal flush! I can easily see myself collecting wallets in various colors, and with as much as I carry, I doubt I'll be willing to swap things to match my outfits! Just be careful... But maybe one more in a Jade Green...
