“Purchased a whiskey shell cordovan a month ago. Quality of the shell from look, feel, and smell is great. This key holder will last a life time. I have a bugs Moran ultra violet shell cordovan wallet which I got almost 3 years ago and it patina beautifully. I look forward to seeing how this key holder will turn out in the future.”
“I love this key holder! I bought it specifically to hold the keys for one of my vintage cars. It does its job perfectly and adds a touch of class exactly where I wanted it to.
I so appreciate the men and women of Ashland - you bring a touch of joy to my life every time I pull out on of my wallets or reach for my keys! A good life is full of simple joys. Ashland is a part of that. Thanks much!”
“Great for my work keys. I have 0 bad things to say about Ashland. I could review this thing how I feel, but I think it would come off as a paid review since I love this thing so much.
Highlight- Amazing leather quality.
Only critique- Could use a more expensive stainless steel 316 Key pivots for the metal pieces.
TL;DR: Buy this quality product immediately and be satisfied.”
“Best key holder design I've ever seen. Enough to hold six keys while keeping the size at the minimum. Aesthetically, everything is well-balanced, and the luster of shell cordovan makes it a pleasure just to look at (and smell)!
At the beginning the leather is a little stiff so it might not be very easy to open/close the snap closure, but after a few days of breaking in it would be no problem at all!
After placing my order I got personal emails from Phil following up on my order. You can feel that they truly care about every customer and try their best to make sure customers get what they need and in the highest quality.
I have recommended Ashland (and in particular, this vault key holder) to friends and they have all been highly satisfied after getting their Ashlands!”
Hey, Jack. Thanks so much for taking your time to leave a review. I think people will find this very helpful. I'm glad you shared a photo as well! Wear it well. -Phil
“Received this product in great condition. Nice package in oversized gift box and seal. Thanks Matt for helping me customize the hardware used. Item was received in very short time. I like holding it in my hands as it compacts keys inside and give a very hefty, solid feel to it once filled up with keys. It would be nice if they offer a larger version of the same case as my larger keys didn't fit. (Attached is a photo showing how it compares to a car key) It's a very petite, pleasant accessory to have.”
“Ashland makes top-quality goods out of hard-to-find materials, and this key holder is a perfect example.
No more holes in my pants from keys, and it's a piece that will last me the rest of my life.
Many people will just assume it is key holder, but the color and material are distinctive and meaningful to me - - not everyone knows what shell cordovan is, and even fewer would appreciate its quality.
An A+++ product.
PS: It perfectly matches my "Frank the Enforcer" No. 8 Shell wallet, which shares all the same qualities: durability, distinctiveness, and understated elegance.”
It takes a special person to take the time that is required to think and appreciate the difference in our leather. Thanks so much for your support and wear it well! - Phil
“I have used the (different company) key smart in the last and it was transformative. I used to have pockets filled with keys poking at me and a large ring so they could fit and swivel. Keysmart changed all that.
The problem was the key smart won’t fit fat keys, It also would come apart from time to time, and I had to stop using it. As a result, I used two separate key rings, my main one and a second. since having it all in my pocket was just too big
With the Ashland key holder I could fit my fat keys and others as well. I am down to one ashland instead of two key rings. it is smaller than either key ring, it looms great, is simply hand a bit like a comforting object to hold. It hasn’t fallen apart yet: the screws are better than the key smart. Key smart does include spacers which could be useful here, but mine works without it
One of my absolute favorite simple possessions
It is”
