Shift'D Union : The Roadie Wallet Coming Soon!

If you have been following the Shift'D Union Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook, you have probably noticed that I have really taken focus on leather crafting and creating accessories that incorporate leather of some kind. Working leather is a special skill set that many people can do, but a lot aren't great at. It takes time, patience, and a very keen eye to both detail and quality. I admit, I wasn't great at it from the start, and rightfully so, but with a lot of patience and PRACTICE I feel that my leather crafting ability has really propelled to a higher level, especially in the hand sewing department. Sewing a very straight, consistent line by hand is something to be proud of. When you can nail a straight line with a Saddle Stitch your leather product will last more than a life time and look good doing it!

I wanted to really test myself and see where I stood as far as my skill set stands by making a wallet that offered long stitch lines that looked both elegant yet had the toughness to endure whatever life will throw at it! I love longer wallets (biker wallets) and felt the time is now to make a Shift'D Biker wallet. I did just that with the Roadie! This leather Juggernaut is 7" in length and 3-1/4" wide when folded and snapped. There are two massive interior pouches that are designed to hold cash, combs, or whatever else you'd like to stuff in it. There is also a card slip that can hold numerous cards. I punched in a grommet hole on the back flap so that a chain or a leather tether can be attached if you are into chains or tethers. I personally love the leather tether look and made two different types of tethers that can go with the Roadie.

The Roadie will be released in October when we get all settled in to our new digs in Oceanside. There will be 2 colorways, Coal Black with some Natural Veg Tanned details and an all Veg Tanned wallet. I wanted to offer the Veg Tanned qualities to both colorways so that the wallet can tell your story! When an untreated Veg Tanned wallet goes out into the world and is used daily, it'll develop a Patina that changes the look and feel of your wallet; making it a custom piece that only you can create. With every touch from your hand, water splash, denim dyes from your pocket, sun rays that touches your wallet, and whatever else comes it's way, it'll accept and embrace the change. It'll tell your story and remind you of where it's been and what it's been through! Crafted to Endure.

For now, have a look and keep your eyes open to when it get's released.
