Old fashioned high quality materials and workmanship coupled with a modern buying experience....a perfect match. The quality of the wallet (leather and stitching) exceeded my expectations however I expected more out to money clip. While this is my first wallet with this type of clip, I expected it to more securely hold my bills...at most I carry on 6 or 7 bills and they pretty much move and slide under the clip. I can't imagine holding anywhere close to 30 bills as advertised. To put things into perspective, disappointment with the money clip represents about 3% of my review and the overwhelming satisfaction with Ashland and my wallet represents 97%!
