The wallet is the piece of EDC that typically underpins your line up of accessories and gear so it stands to reason you should opt for something with a bit of character and aesthetic impact to it. With that in mind, allow us to introduce you to Bexar Goods Co’s Vertical Card Wallet in Ghost Green. When you unbox this classy looking accessory, it will look like your run of the mill black wallet but, the more you use it, the quicker it will reveal the awesome green colourway that lies beneath.
The Bexar Goods Co Vertical Card Wallet in Ghost Green retails for $115 and is definitely one of the coolest looking pieces of EDC we’ve seen in a while here at The Coolector. Over time, the black wax coating will wear away to reveal the green aesthetic below and, in doing so, has one of the most striking visual impacts of any wallet out there. As is the case with all the accessories from Bexar Goods Co, the quality of the craftsmanship and materials here is second to none and it is the sort of piece that you could easily hand from one generation to the next.
UNUSUAL AESTHETIC
It’s not everyday you come across wallets that are as visually arresting as this one from Bexar Goods Co and the quality of the materials on offer is, as always, second to none. The main material is the Black Wax Buttero “Black Burro” Vegetable Tanned Leather that comes from Conceria Walpier Tannery in Italy. They are well known for their premium vegetable tanned leathers and the stunning colours they are capable of producing. The ghost finish is a real stand out one and it is a matte black wax finish that will polish up and patina over time exposing more and more of the beautiful colour that lies beneath.
With the Bexar Goods Co Vertical Card Wallet in Ghost Green ($115) you don’t have to wait around for the wax to wane if you don’t want to. You can buff with a canvas cloth to remove some of the finish to get just the right visual aesthetic you’re looking for and want to start with. Note the wax is pretty robust and will take some effort to remove so you might want to wait for it to come off over time – which we would here at The Coolector as it will speak to the adventures you’ve taken your wallet on.
The Vertical Card Wallet from Bexar Goods Co is the ideal compromise between the classic bifold style and a simple card wallet. It boasts a highly unique design that can comfortably fit in either the front or back pocket. The layout of the four card pockets allow for cards to be easily picked out, and the two stash pockets are great for storing paper money. Each one is saddle stitched by hand, joining each leather piece together with a robust poly cord thread. The saddle stitch technique has been favoured for centuries by expert leather workers, and has a distinct durability benefits when compared to the lock stitch technique used by machine stitching. After a stand out wallet for your EDC line up? You’ve just found it.
