Guarded Goods Double Fold Card Holder in Burgundy Chromexcel – $45.00*
You’ll need the code DAPPERED5 to knock $5 off the regular price of $50. Many thanks to Guarded Goods for doing that.
Man. Shoulda spent more time in the leather-working tent at Summer Camp .
And that’s by no means a disrespectful statement to all the small, made in the USA, leather goods start-ups that have launched in the last couple years. These guys are doing the designing, buying the materials, and often hand cutting and stitching all of this stuff together. And even if the design is simple, that doesn’t mean the execution isn’t outstanding.
Guarded Goods is the latest one of these outfits to throw their hand-stitched hat in the ring. With just under 20 designs (including possibly the coolest ID Badge laynard replacement ever), they’re certainly small, but they’re making stuff from great materials. They’ll also make something custom for you if you give them an idea as to what you’re looking for.
Their double fold card holder is cut from Horween leather, and the Burgundy Chromexcel seen here is gooey soft. Some of us have eaten steak more rigid than this (Road trip. Years back. Somewhere outside Winnemucca? Maybe it was Barstow. “Steak” sandwich specifically. Everything tasted like cigarettes, especially since the two deputies in the booth behind us were chain smoking. Nice waitress though. Never should have ordered the special.)
Just one slot but plenty of room for cards and cash. It’ll most certainly flex and season with age too. Stitching is excellent, and every pass of the Maine Thread Co.’s waxed polycord creates a nice contrast against the leather. Hard not to like the designed scoop in the middle too. Makes it easy to slide cards in and out, without resorting to the usual thumb slot you see everywhere. Case came wrapped in burlap with the founder’s business card inside.
Simple and well made. Should be something you carry with you for a long time, or, would be a fantastic gift for anyone else who wasn’t a natural inside the leather-working tent at camp.
Enter here to win The Double Fold Card Holder from Guarded Goods. One entry per person. Deadline for entry is 11:59 pm ET 11/19/13. Good luck!
UPDATE: Congrats to Juan R. who who the card holder from Guarded Goods!
The wallet looks amazing, but where is that watch from?! Is that the Hamilton Khaki?
Already have a good wallet so im going to sit this one out. However that does look very nice!!
Nice but I just got the Saddleback ID recently which is pretty great
That ID lanyard seems very inspired by the one Nicholas Hollows makes, which I’ve always loved because it seemed like a pretty original take on the wallet chain or key holder: http://shop.hollowsleather.com/product/key-rein
i know it’s a simpler piece to make, but I have the GG chromexcel snap lanyard and i’m extremely happy with it.
that tattoo on the guy’s wrist reminds me of eric pollard’s art on his LINE skis like the sir francis bacon and mr. pollard’s opus skis.
and make sure to give the details on the strap too!
Same. Found the strap much more interesting than the wallet.
I love you deusis!
It’s a strap from a sponsor here that’s a competitor to the company giving away this wallet. It’d be incredibly bad form to promote another company in a thread where your sponsor is giving your readers free stuff
This would be perfect for me. I have been searching for a way to declutter my wallet and this would be perfect. If I don’t have the extra space then i can’t hoard extras in my wallet. Very nice design. I want it!!!!!
Where on you site can I find a list of the sponsors?
… Actually it just looks like the stock strap that comes on the watch (Hamilton Officer Auto Chrono). The two tangs are visible in the picture.

If they stitched the vertical side, couldn’t it be two pockets?
I have a model with the stitched side too. If you want both sides stitched, just include that in the notes on checkout. I use this single stitched version as a two pocket card holder as well. The cards stay in the front slot without a problem. It just gives you easier and quicker access to them.
Thank ya, thank ya!
Leather working tent? Did you go to Buck’s Rock?
i wonder why my question regarding the watch strap was deleted.
It got caught up with a lengthy off topic discussion. It’s the stock strap that came with the watch.
