Who among us doesn’t know of the virtues of the Union Special? Who among us hasn’t driven out of our way to have one of these legendary chainstitches applied to our favorite jean of the moment.
Well, Kapital has launched a set of wallets that pay homage to this famous piece of chain-stitching equipment. The Leather Hand Curving Wallet is made in Japan from a hefty bovine leather and features various iterations of the Union Special in an ornately hand-tooled design on the exterior. Just imagine this thing when that natural leather has darkened with time, complementing the already rich texture and making the design more subtle.
A hefty bifold, this wallet has space for cash, cards, and even loose change in the form of a small snap pocket. Don’t worry if it seems a bit too thick for your back pocket – like all well-made leather wallets, this will compress with time and wear.
Available from $514 at Blue in Green
