Fade of the Day – Tanner Goods Utility Bifold (1 Year, 7 Months)

When it comes to patina, we can always count on Tanner Goods to deliver. This Utility Bifold comes to us courtesy of Cal Barash-David who’s been using it just over eighteen months.

Based in Rhode Island, Cal tells us he uses this leather wallet on a daily basis. In addition to the constant use, this Tanner Goods piece has been subject to a few spills, but Cal says if this happens, he cleans it off with a rag and has yet to use any oils or creams on the natural vegetable tanned leather. The result is a rugged wallet with a deep patina that flaunts darker tones on the exterior and more subtle aging of the inner card-holder slots. In addition, the edges of the wallet have buffed to a dark, oily sheen through daily contact with raw denim.
