“I love the wallet but there is an issue I have with the card pockets. Only on the right side, the edges at the top of each pocket are not sturdy enough and are exposing the lighter colored leather underneath. It might seem minor to some, but since it is in an area that will receive the most use I expected it to be more robust to stand up to normal use. Especially since the other pockets are fine.”

“A couple items left off my MTO item and one self inflicted issue. Contacted Matt, he responded quickly with a resolution, return label and I sent wallet back for modification. Customer service is always outstanding.”

Helpful Report

“I've been a loyal (and VERY happy) customer for many years. It would be embarrassing to state how many Ashland Leather wallets I have, not to mention other items such as lighter holders, belts, etc. However, some of the more recent "experimental" products simply fall short of expectation. I was excited to see folding knife sheaths offered, even though the price was a hefty $40. I took a chance and what I received doesn't fit any folding knife I own (I have 27). Freakishly wide, and nothing special as far as construction goes. I'm used to much better from this brand. Highly disappointed.”

“Wallet was nice, however it did not quite meet my expectations. Customer Service was pleasant to work with. I have sent my item back and I am awaiting the delivery acceptance from Ashland.”

Helpful Report

“Overall i like the wallet, the materials are very high quality. However this wallet is horrific for carrying coins. The coins work there way out of the coin pouch and then fall out completely when the wallet is opened. This shouldn't be an issue, not adding a small button to the coin pouch was a major oversight. Also there were tons of marks on the wallet despite being new. I don't care that much as im hoping for patina but i'd expect better. Also they should use a slightly thinner leather. It is a bit stiff and bulky for a zip wallet.”

“Minimal, Light & Low Profile For the price, I was expecting it to be less rough around the edges (see pics) Didn’t feel like going through the effort to exchange it. I’ve fully embraced the digital tap to pay era, this is just a replacement for my failing wallet. Good feel, good smell… Here’s to hoping it hold up years past my previous one.”

Helpful Report

“Absolutely love the shell cordovan leather quality, however the craftsmanship is disappointing. Edge of the wallet where the leather meets are uneven, the inner leather piece is protruding out. Dark spot on one of the edge. Was willing to accept some flaws but this is a bit too much. Sadly had to return it. 3 stars for good leather and customer service.”

Helpful Report

“I’m pleased with the wallet overall. It carries well and seems to be holding up, although more time is required to be sure. My only complaint is the finishing on the edges of the wallet as they are far rougher than you would expect at this price point. One side feels significantly smoother than the other. Other than the finish work, the wallet is robustly made”

“I will return the wallet. It is very stiff, just what I didn't want. With use it may soften, but I dont believe that I will live long enough to know.”

“I ordered the Johnny the Fox in Cordovan. The exterior was exquisite. The interior was unfortunately not of uniform colors. My wife was not pleased with the quality. Although there are variations in natural leather colors, this was a variation that probably should not have been identified as first quality. I have made arrangements to exchange it for a first quality one. The response was quick, but it is currently out of stock. I have sent back the first one. Will await the new one.”

Helpful Report

“Ordering was easy however 3-5 business days have passed and I still haven’t received the item. Please advise.”

“Good quality product but the design fails with the type of leather since it is difficult to close the case without beibg concerned about harming the contents”

“Product does not have the detail I expected at this price poin”

“Phil, I am using your key chain for one to two keys. It rattles quite a lot, and one of the reasons I bougth your product was to have a small, noiseless key chain that also protected the pockets from damage. I have modified your design by adding small o-rings. I would suggest that you ship the unit with a shorter stud, or with o-rings . Olav”

“I can appreciate the craftsmanship and love the smell of the leather. My husband picked it and will receive it on Christmas morning.”

“This is my forth purchase from you.Not sure why this shell cordovan won’t take a shine.It’s just flat black.No problem with the others I have but not this wallet.I know it’s new but won’t shine up.Ive tried the Venetian shoe cream too.”

Thank you for your review. Sometimes adding too much polish/cream can have an adverse effect. I believe this is what's happening here. Keep in mind the leather is new and doesn't need more cream. We have already polished the leather prior to shipping. I suggest wearing the wallet and the friction from your pockets will help to polish it naturally giving it a nice glossy luster overtime. Please let me know if you have any issues. -Matt info@ashlandleather.com

“I found the leather to be extremely stiff and not as flexible as other horween leather items I have owned. The wallet seems to be made well but it’s not very comfortable to carry”

Thank you for your review. Much like a new baseball glove, there can be a break-in period for leather wallets as well. I find it takes about 1-2 weeks of use for this. Please let us know if you're still having issues with the break-in. Thank you! -Matt info@ashlandleather.com

“I like the wallet. But it gets two stars docked. The first one is because they forgot to stamp my initials. The other is for a minor quality issues that I noticed, but for a wallet this price I think I should be able to expect that these things would be checked before it gets sent out. Unfortunately i have been unable to get any pictures to upload but here is the quality issue i had. It came with this weird little dot that does not look like natural character like a bug bite. It looks more like an issue in the tanning/finishing of the leather. I tried to scratch at it a bit and its not some kind of goober on top of the finish, its more like the finish is somehow missing. Its a little rough spot that looks different.”

“I received the product I requested in a timely manor. However, I did not request expedited shipping but I got charged for. :( Not certain how that could have happened, that's something I never do. Maybe it was a default in the Shipping process and I didn't catch it. Most importantly however, I truly love Ashland's products, my favorite wallet is in my pocket "as I speak", a Whiskey, Shell Cordovan, Fat Herbie! 👍 Lawrence”
