I have been using the Brown Chromexcel Johnny the Fox for 3 months now. The wallet has held up very well, the chromexcel leather is developing a nice sheen and has got even smoother in feel that when it was new. This is my 3rd wallet (and 3rd design) from Ashland Leather after a Fat Herbie in Navy Scotch Grain (a limited run about 2& half years ago) and a Tony the Ant in Black Dublin. All the wallets from Ashland are exemplary in quality - no loose thread, perfect stitching, and above all, very very functional. Leather selection is the best and they only get better with use. And above all, the communication & customer service with Phil & Matt is top notch and hard to find in this day and age.
