These 100% leather wallets are either hand sewn and hand stained from the same cowhide leather that fine saddles are made from, or machine sewn using a special Buffalo Calf leather as good or better than that used in the finest Italian leather wallets. (See styles below)
These American made leather wallets are handmade by LeatherGoods Connection the way leather wallets were made 50 years ago using all leather pockets, with no man made stiffeners or linings
These wallets sell here, direct from the maker, for essentially a wholesale price. You won't believe the price for leather wallets of this quality.
New! Biker and Trucker wallets including the exciting new style with a braided leather lanyard

Even Newer... people looking for the hard to find Red Moon wallets have been asking for wallets that are open grain and unfinished so that they will have a unique leathery look as they break in. My answer to this is the Ponderosa wallets in natural oak leather, and the calfskin wallet styles with buffalo calf for the interior, and shrunken grain natural unfinished leather on the outside. Click on the image above for a larger view.
This is the same tan shrunken grain leather offered on the Ponderosa trucker wallets.
Read the "customer comments" page to learn what my many customers say about the quality and service provided by LeatherGoods Connection. Here is an unsolicited testimonial that came in 3/13/05.
Hi Henry,
It's one year since I bought my calfskin wallet from you. 1 year was enough
time for every other wallet I've had to be on its last legs. In the same
time span, the wallet from you has no signs of wear. It's formed to my
pocket, but there's not a blown stitch, not a a tear or thin spot on it,
even though I wrap a chain through it. On top of that, it's spacious -- 2
cards really did fit in a pocket without tearing the leather.
I'm sure you get plenty of testimonials about the quality of your products,
but I just wanted to add my thanks for a truly quality product at an
affordable price. I'll never look anywhere else when I need any of the
products you carry.
Thanks again,
Stu

 |    I am now making these men's leather wallets out of Buffalo Calf, an expensive imported leather. I have it in Light Brown, Medium Brown, Dark Brown,
and Black. This calf skin leather has an expensive look because it is.
It is an interesting leather, not just a "Flat" grain with a "Vinyl" look. This leather is tanned like Italian top grain leather. My customers really love the look and smell of this leather! These are easily
$80.00 leather wallets with folded edges, that look as good, and will last a lot longer than even the most expensive imported leather wallets because they are 100% leather. There are no thin linings cemented to a thin leather facing with hot glue. Read the description, look at each style... pick the one best for you,
and remember, this leather is a real upgrade! AND only $45.75! for styles 1-4.
NEW! Tan shrunken grain, natural, unfinshed leather, is now offered on the exterior wallet styles 1 through 4, 10, and 12 with tough natural undyed horse hide leather on the interior. The shrunken grain leathers, and Canyon with natural interior cost $10.00 extra.
The new Medium Brown is shown on the left. Click on the images for a larger view. Both shrunken grain colors are shown below, the natural tan on the left and the brown finished grain on the right.


Med. Brown Dark Brown Black
NEW
Canyon Leather outside with tough natural Undyed horse hide Leather interior

This combination now available for wallets 1-4, 10 and 12
There are no thin weak lining materials in these men's leather wallets, they are all 100% calf skin leather and sewn with #69 nylon thread (what others use for handbags).
These are much more substantial than other leather wallets on the market. This full grain leather is thicker than the paper thin leathers necessary on imported wallets with their layers of lining and man made material. You will notice the substantial feel when you hold it in your hand. The calf leather is softer and more flexable than the leather in the working mans hand stitched leather wallet but is still solid enough that it is enhanced with use. These calfskin leather wallets also have folded edges to produce a finer finished look.
Click on the style numbers below to see an enlarged view of each wallet. The Image will open in another window (X to return). Select your favorite style # from the "Men's Machine Sewn Wallets" menu located below.
Wallet #1
Bifold men's calf skin leather wallet, shown here in Light Brown, with two upward opening card pockets on each side plus two pockets in center and bill compartment. Each of the card pockets will hold at least 2 cards, more can be put in the 2 center opening pockets. I use the inner pockets for business cards and license. Measures 3-5/8" x 8-3/4" open. $45.75
Wallet #2
The simplicity of this design creates a Slim Fold wallet with a substantial feel that is 100% Buffalo Calfskin leather. This men's wallet has two inward opening card pockets on each side and bill compartment. Don't think that with only 2 pockets on each side that this wallet won't hold a lot of credit cards. The inside 2 pockets will hold at least 4 cards each, without the extra thickness of more leather pockets. Another feature of this design is that the wider pockets allow for stuffing in folded reciepts and larger business cards. Measures 3-5/8" x 8-3/4" open. $45.75
 Wallet #3 Enlarge view of this wallet in Black Buffalo Calf Leather.
Men's bifold calf skin leather wallet with three upward open card pockets on each side, with folded and stitched pocket edge, two pockets in center, bill compartment. Measures 3-5/8" x 8-3/4" open. $45.75
 Wallet #4 View this wallet in Black Buffalo Calf Leather.
Three Fold men's calf skin leather wallet with three card pockets, bill compartment. This wallet measures 4-1/4" x 3-1/8" closed, 4-1/4" x 8-3/4" open. $45.75

$68.75 Both measure 3-5/8" x 4-1/4" closed, 3-5/8" x 8-3/4" open. Made in Buffilo Calf leather. Covered plastic section is used for credit cards and ID's which can be shown without being removed from wallet. Do not ask for plastic insert when ordering, it is included as part of this wallet.
#9B Vintage credit card/coin wallet. $55.75
The Vintage wallet is also available with card pockets on the left side instead of card/picture section as shown on the left. It can also be made with covered plastic insert on left and credit cards instead of coin purse on the right. You will have to ask for that one in the comments window on the check out page.
 
#10 Passport Case. $49.75 This Passport Case has four card pockets on each side with two larger center opening pockets that completely cover a passport. Click on the underlined link above for another view. This case will also hold a 5" x 3" spiral notebook (I got the one shown from Walmart).
Case measures 4-1/2" x 5-7/8" closed. It fits in my jeans back pocket and my inside jacket pocket.
Front Pocket Wallet #11
This item is available on the accessories page as a key fob for fleet owners who use it for holding a gas card for each vehicle. I thought it would make a great front pocket wallet if the key ring would lie flat. I solved that problem by using a chain instead of the ring. Holds a card, ID, and a few folded bills. Available in the buffalo calf colors. 4-1/4" x 2-3/4" $12.75
#12 Hipster Passport Wallet. $80.00 This Hipster wallet is the Passport Case shown above as a wallet. A special feature of the large rear section is a
divider pocket at the top for holding U.S. currency. Measures 4-1/2" x 5-7/8" closed and fits completely in rear pocket of my jeans. Shown in foreground is this passport wallet in the brown shrunken grain leather. The wallets in the rear are Dark Brown, Brown, and Black buffalo calf. This wallet is also available on the Trucker Wallet page with security chain attached.

This is a wallet that I made in the 70's and
today is made for the
American Hero, the working man.
Tired of those soft department store wallets that lose
their shape in your hip pocket? This
wallet is for you. This wallet is made from hand stained
and polished oak tanned calf leather and hand
sewn with waxed nylon thread. This is a substantial wallet that improves with use and actually needs to be "broken in". This Oak leather is the same tannage as used on saddles and belts.
A divider in the bill
compartment can be tucked under
the back flap to make a secret
compartment for that winning lottery
ticket or phone number. Wallet measures 8-3/4" x 3-1/2" open. There are 4 card pockets and 2 pockets to
either side of center for drivers license, lumber yard and hardware store charge cards, and business cards. Card pockets will hold more than one card. Take a closer look at this wallet in Lt. Brown.

This is the wallet that I personally use. I have to admit, I made this style again so I could have one. I mostly sell them to men who buy them for their
own use, even though they get enough wallets as gifts. What they pull out of their pocket to replace usually looks like
something wrapped in a rag and paper thin leather scraps even though it is less than a year old. Maybe this is the one they should have
gotten as a gift. Mine is eight years old... well.. nine now, as of 2010

Having said that, I want one of the new Buffalo Calf wallets. I love the leather and they can take the
abuse I give things (I don't work as hard as I used to). I'll try one next, if I live long enough to wear this one out.
What one customer wrote:

I was very satisified with Leather Goods Connection. Order was taken easily. I was notified promptly about the status of my order. I received the merchandise in a few days. The quality and craftmanship was great. This hand made wallet is by far the nicest and most rugged one I ever had. Dont hesitate to place your order...you won't be disappointed.

The Dk. Brown Milled leather is sold out. The tan shrunken grain is an oiled unfinished leather that will break in and look different with use. The shrunken grain is the result of the way it is tanned. The grain is perhaps more pronounced than it appears in the images above.

Bridle Leather Wallets $80.00
The "English" Bridle leather used for these wallets is tanned in the U.S.A. I'm using it to make some of the same styles as the calfskin wallets. This Bridle Leather makes a more firm wallet than the Calfskin Leather. The light color is a little darker or lighter than the way it came out in the pictures depending on the batch I have in stock.
I expect these wallets to break in with a more leathery look and to darken more with use. Since this is a new offering... you will have to let me know about that in a few years.
When I handle it, it makes that noise you hear when stepping into the saddle, that leather against leather noise.
Wallets #1, #2, #3, measure 3-5/8" X 8-3/4" when open. Wallet #4 Measures 8-3/4" x 4-1/4" open and 4-1/4" x 3" closed.
Style #1
Six card pocket wallet, two center pockets and bill compartment.
Style #2
Slim Fold, four card pockets and bill compartment.
Style #3
Six card pockets with folded edges, two center pockets and bill compartment.
Style #4
Three fold wallet with folded edges, three card pockets and bill compartment.
Wallet style #1 shown in Dark Brown Bridle Leather.
Monogram Your Wallet?
Wallets can be personalized with gold foil lettering for an aditional $10.00 Letters are 3/16" high.
That's what's used for the calfskin wallets... Gold foil? That isn't what this leather is about. lets just brand these! No fancy foil, lets just burn it in!

The Ponderosa braided lanyard $20.50, and Lanyard with leather belt loop $30.50, can be ordered separately from menu choice A.
Lately I've been asked for wallets without the chain, lanyard, or grommet so I have added that option to the ordering menu. Selecting that deducts $10.00 Be sure to order with chain so that it deducts chain. Do not order with lanyard as it only refunds for chain.
Available Ponderosa Wallet leathers are the Buffalo Calf colors

Dear Henry,
I received my leather wallet and change purse/pouch today and I just wanted to let you know I am thrilled with both of them. The craftmanship of the wallet is just beautiful, and, in any department store this would've cost me 2-3 times more, and it probably would've been made in Asia somewhere. I've already asked many of my friends to visit your website for other goods.
Hope to buy goods from you again!
Sincerely,
-Ken- |
