Purchased an irregular Johnny the Fox in Shell Cordovan among one of the many on sale. Generally, really like the way it looked. There were about 3 small scratches on the outer layer, which is what I guess prompted it to be labeled as an irregular. However, considering the set price and how much regular full Shell Cordovan wallets go for, I still think it was a great deal. Though not everything is perfect, and there are some personal gripes I had about it. -The fit is extremely tight throughout the entire wallet. While this is great for the cardholder portion of it, it makes it extremely difficult to pull paper currency in and out of the wallet. Shell Cordovan isn't really known to stretch that much, so I foresee that the fit will stay this way for a very long time. -There are portions in the stitching where there appears to be "knots" right at the portion where you place paper currency. This has "caught" onto the paper currency whenever I pulled it in and out practically every single time. At best, it makes taking out money slightly less smooth, and at worst, it could scratch or tear at the paper currency. As for potential suggestions: 1) Possibly make the compartment for the hidden card slot to carry more than 3 cards. This section is where I personally place my low-use cards, so it tends to be filled with more than 3 cards. 2) Possibly consider a wallet taller than 3.5" (for example, 3.7") so that it can accommodate more international currencies without sticking out. Unless I make a conscious effort to push in the money all the way through as careful as possible, for example, Japanese yen does stick out of the wallet from the top edge. All in all, I am still satisfied with the wallet, and I hope to continue to see how the wallet will age over time.
