“Truly a company and crew like no other. Unmatched quality and craftsmanship. Each product only gets better the more you use it. Great communication whenever you have a question or are looking for something custom. Huge thanks to Phil, Matt and the crew. You guys rock! You guys got a customer for life!”

“Easy five stars. I am very pleased with my Ashland Leather experience. The band is very nice and high quality, well worth the price. Note, the bands are made to order, so it may take a bit longer than you expect to put it on your wrist. However, patience is a virtue, and this band is an excellent value and well worth the wait.”

“Loving my natural chromexcel watch band! The leather is a great weight for a strap. Thick enough to feel substantial and secure, but thin enough to make for extremely comfortable wearing. Really looking forward to watching this thing age!”

“It should almost go without saying that the build-quality of the wallet I received is as close to flawless as possible--no blemishes in the leather or frayed stitching. I ordered the Fat Herbie in Color #8 (100% Shell Cordovan, and extra pocket, and stained edges). As I wrote to Phil in an email, I was over the moon with the product when I received it. The wallet exceeded my expectations. I know there has been a movement to use smaller wallets these days, but I try to carry a little cash and all of my cards and ID on me at all times. This wallet is able to hold anything I throw in it--cash, cards, receipts--a small fridge; it's awesome. There are no problems fitting this wallet in my back pocket, and the times I've sat on it, because of it's flatter layout and profile than a traditional bifold or trifold, I didn't feel uncomfortable. It fits in the front pocket of my jeans, but it looks awkward in the front pockets of chinos (unless you've got a pair with deep pockets). The Fat Herbie with an extra pocket is a little "fatter" but the wallet folds with no problem. Since the wallet was a custom order, it took a little over two weeks for me to receive it (and that's not bad, considering Phil gave me a four-week estimate). The wallet is 100% Shell Cordovan, so the interior of the wallet has a "Shell against Shell" friction, so I can already see that the interior wears rougher than the exterior. Shell Cordovan is the best leather in the world; however, small surface nicks and scuffs do appear in the leather. So if you're considering a Shell wallet and you think that it will remain pristine after daily use, then that is an unrealistic expectation. After wearing it every day, I have brushed my wallet with a horse hair brush for a few minutes, so the small surface imperfections that I've put on it from daily wear aren't really all that noticeable. And in a little over two weeks of owning the wallet, I've brushed a luster on it even greater than when I got the wallet: it's already highly reflective. Ashland's Youtube channel is the best. Even though it may be a little time consuming, it's possible to learn almost everything about Ashland and Horween leathers from the channel. But, Ashland's website needs a little update to help customers see all the products and services that Ashland offers; however, Phil was (and has been) very helpful with the many questions that I've sent him. So customer service is pretty much top notch. I was looking to buy myself a decent wallet, so I started looking at "big name", designer wallets. I am so glad I found Ashland instead. I know those other designer wallets aren't as good in terms of quality; they aren't Shell Cordovan (from Horween), and they probably don't come with lifetime warranties like Ashland wallets do. For those of you looking to, buy a high-quality wallet that will last decades, I couldn't recommend Ashland enough. Pull the trigger--you won't be disappointed.”

“I finally found the perfect wallet. I ordered the Tony the Ant wallet in Natural shell cordovan for myself and the Capone in color #8 Shell Cordovan as a gift. The wallets look FANTASTIC, and even when i load it up its still thin enough to fit in my front pocket. I cannot wait to see how the patina develops. Great work Ashland Leather!”

“Just got it today. So first impressions are important. The packaging is a nice touch. Then we look at construction of the item and it is excellent. Of course the next important factor is the smell. The smell of the leather is fantastic! Overall from packaging to item it is a great experience. I would definitely purchase again and I will probably do so in the future.”

“Over the past six months I have purchased two Apple Watch bands, two wallets and two belts from Ashland Leather, all of which are beautifully crafted and give me great pleasure. Phil and Matt have been extremely responsive to my requests for specific accommodations. They were meticulous in follow up and delivered products of exceptional quality. I could not be more pleased with how each of my leather pieces are acquiring a beautiful patina and deepening color.”

“Gorgeous wallet! The first piece of anything shell cordovan I've ever owned and it's as beautiful as I expected. Construction is absolutely perfect, too. It is a teensy bit thicker than I was expecting, but I'll take that as a sign of lifelong strength and a good reason to wear wider pants.”

“I just got my capone clip wallet in black dublin and its quality is top notch! I'm really impressed! I love the design and how much it can hold. This is wonderful. Love it”

“The natural CXL Fat Herbie is really impressive and smells so good. I prefer a larger wallet to distribute the contents for thinner experience and not bulky. Highly recommend Ashland Leather.”

“Got my custom Tall Tony with vertical card slots very quickly. It has beautiful Natural Shell Cordovan, Marbled Shell and Tumbled Verdigris. It is my dream wallet. Probably going to be the last wallet I ever buy... until I customise another one with Ashland.”

“I custom designed the Bugs Moran Wallet as a graduation gift for my husband. He is very particular about the type of wallet he wanted and we looked at several high-end designer brands, but were not satisfied until we got to know Ashland Leather. We received the wallet yesterday and it was beautiful. We are both very satisfied and think that the leather will look even better with time. (+ I only spoke to the quality of the wallet in this review but the customer service was immaculate as well.)”

“Amazing product with even better customer service.”
