Greyhame Leatherworks Istari Wallet

Alright, I’ve been promising him I would write a detailed review if he let me borrow this thing for a while, so here it is!

This thing is beautiful and well thought out. The leather is supple yet sturdy. It’s a slim wallet which is huge for me and just about everyone out there in the EDC community. The rich color in the leather is beautiful especially in brighter lighting and I’m sure it will patina into something truly gorgeous in the coming years of use.

Not exactly sure what the deal is with this orange divider here, feels like similar quality to the rest of it. You really only see a hint of it while it’s full and it gives kind a cool contrast. The design was clearly very well thought out; it seems to be 3 pieces of leather folded within one another and stitched together.

The stitch work is solid, doesn’t feel at all like it will fall apart under normal wear. Really like the hallmark/logo he’s made for himself. Again; simple yet unique.

To summarize; this is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. Well thought out, easy to use and carry. It begs to be taken out of the pocket and shown off. It feels great in the hand and doesn’t hurt the eyes one bit.

A bit about Greyhame Leatherworks: He doesn’t have a website that I’m aware of, I came across his InstaGram page one day while drooling over super nice EDC pieces I couldn’t afford. What I’m getting at is he’s pretty small time, but that’s a good thing. He’s got a nack for quality and it shows. I’ve seen a good deal of other quality leather products on his page including pocket organizers and even watch straps. I’d be willing to bet if you sent him a message with something in mind he could probably put it together for you and it’d be something you’d be proud of. Plus we’re both from PA, so that’s cool.

5/5 all the way on this one.

Looks: 5

Functionality: 5

Durability: 5 (for what it is, I’m not saying run the gauntlet on it, I’m saying keep it in you’re pocket and it’ll do fine)

Price: 5 $45 seems terribly reasonable for this level of craftsmanship.
