John,
I had the all Stainless and it cracked at the fold, I called SS and they said pick out anything as a replacement so I did, as you can see. They were terrific.
I cannot say the same for the company I originally purchased it from "On the Fly" they never returned my phone calls.
So to answer your question, I do like it. Perhaps not as much as my Bosca one, but is a finely made wallet. The half and half above may be the perfect match, we will see.

Cool wallet, Jim! I've never seen one like that before.
Just got a Mont Blanc Meisterstuck as a bday present.
Went out and bought myself a Knomo London wallet. My mom gave me another pipe from my grandfather (Kaywoodie supergrain).

Swiped the photo from AAAC, but got these yesterday.
Good eye! This may be my favorite AE last. Awesome fit. Went out at lunch and got a belt to match.
I have a pair in black that I got in 2001. Still going strong. I agree that the fit is great. I have wide feet 3E and these feel really nice.
Nice score.

Nice John, a change from the rainbow flip flops.
What model last is that.

The Hillcrest is last #4. However, my Cortlands are #4 as well, and feel different. The Hillcrest is wider in the toe box and more arch. Feels about a half size bigger as well. The Hillcrest was made in Wisconsin, and I'm not sure about the Cortland. Maine? My Denton's are #2, and the #4 and #2 are based off the #7, so it's no surprise I like the fit. By they way, I'm a 11.5 B.
The Rainbows will still get more use.
No pics, but I picked up some Pyrat rum (apologies to the Czar!), eight lead crystal highballs with cut palm tree designs, a Tommy Bahama shirt (Marlin Andretti) from the wife for our anniversary, and some clarified key lime. Definitely mojito season!
Some cocktail-related goodies came from Kegworks today:
just received 3 - 25 gram pouches of these from my brother. fresh from greece. Delicious.

I'm visiting my parents this weekend and decided to stop by the county liquor store to replenish my Maker's Mark supply and check out the single malt scotch selection. They had a single cask Highland Park 15 marked down from $105 to $70. That's about what they standard 15 year runs so I grabbed one up. Won't have a chance to try it out for a few days but I'm excited.
