New Release – Archival Bifold

We partnered with our favorite small leather goods maker Hollows Leather to produce a new, scaled down Bifold wallet.  To reduce the bulk of a classic Bifold, we slimmed ours down to a few essential features: two card slots and a single, full sized bill slot.  The Archival Bifold is completely hand stitched with wax thread and the edges are beveled and burnished with beeswax.  It comes finished with a wrap of red waxed thread and a discrete AC logo.

Hollows is producing the Archival Bifold in two different Horween leather colors –  a natural Chromexcel and a vegetable tan leather.  Hollows fondly refers to the Natural Chromexcel as a “mellow and desaturated” medium brown.  Vegetable Tan starts out very light but will darken over time as it comes in contact with sun, oils, dirt and indigo.  Here are some production shots of the wallet under construction:
