Camo'D Card Slip Wallet - Coming Soon!

As a brand, we love pushing creativity in everything that we do.  If you have followed us I am hoping that you have seen this.  From hiking mountain tops to shred epic pow lines, to taking creative pics, to leather crafting, it's all about trying to do something different and unique.  This Camo'D Leather Wallet is definitely unique.  We sourced the finest leather we could find and had it dyed to create the camouflage pattern that we love.  If you haven't noticed, S'dU loves camo!  So once I got my hands on this custom leather I new instantly that it should be sliced and crafted into a wallet that doesn't take up too much room in your pocket.
The Camo'D Leather Wallet can hold cards on both the front and back sides.  The front pouch is left with a little more room to also hold some cash, and to hold it all in is a leather flap that snaps closed to keep things secure.  The entire wallet has been hand sewn with the everlasting nylon waxed thread in a saddle stitch technique to assure it never falls apart.

Enjoy the pics and be sure to follow our Instagram to see when it drops, which will be very soon!

 

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.

Back to the beach!

You know that feeling of home?  That feeling of nostalgia and comfort and just feeling the sense of belonging?  If you do then you know what I'm talking about.  That feeling for both my wife and I is San Diego, CA, well Oceanside to be exact.  Just a few years back we used to call Oside home and we had spent quite a few years living in San Diego.  It's a beautiful place with beautiful people and we are so stoked to get back to what we know.  Mainly to continue living that SoCal lifestyle.  Back to our roots for sure!  I am also stoked to see what SD has to offer this brand and see how far I can take it out there!  The big move will happen October 1st!!

Colorado has been dope though!  I pretty much got to play these past few years with getting in a shit load of snowboarding with some really rad people.  I have met so many people along the way and the support from homies here has been amazing.  I will always pay respect to Rado and will contribute a successful launch of this brand to the state and the inspiration it has instilled in me.

To all our homies here from Colorado, thank you for the killer times!  You know who you are.  Thanks to the shops who have supported Shift'D Union and showed interest in this brand.  I wish all of you continue success in everything you do.

PS:  I will be back in the Winters for more riding so this isn't good bye in the slightest, it's a "I'll see you on the snow" sort of thing! ;)

So, now that that's done, back to the shitty part of moving.  I need to skinny down on inventory and whatever merchandise is still around.  I also need to make some money so we can fund this move.  Moving aint cheap!  Especially when you are moving all of the equipment that I have specifically for Shift'D Union, ie the Print shop, Leather shop, storage bins, blanks, etc.  Here's a 50% off promo code "BACK2CALI" that will apply to everything on the website that you will hopefully take advantage of.  This code is good up to 9/21.  Your purchase on anything is sooooo appreciated.

As always, the online shop is www.shiftdunion.com.  Have at it and holler if you have any questions!

Rad MOFO Wallets!

Check it out, we just dropped a bad ass or should I say "rad" ass leather wallet called "Rad Mother Fucker"!  Inspired by one of the best movies of all time, Pulp Fiction, I thought it would be cool to make a hand made leather wallet that said Rad Mother Fucker.  This wallet is just that too.  Made of 4/5 oz of high grade Veg Tanned leather, hand treated, hand stamped, and hand sewn all in the Shift'D Garage.   This is a traditional bi-fold leather wallet that folds up nice and thin so no need to worry about having that annoying bulky ass wallet to sit on.  It comes with a couple of card slots to slide your cards into and if you're into carrying cash then there is a cash compartment too.  It's a bi-fold that offers the necessities for being a wallet.  The thread is the strongest Poly thread that you can buy on the market!  It's waxed to assure it's rugged toughness and it's breaking strength is that of metal rivets.  You won't break these threads!  I hand stitched every wallet in the Saddle Stitch method to assure it had the strongest stitch possible.
If you are looking a for a new wallet that goes hard then look no further!  This Rad Mother Fucker Leather Wallet will last you a lifetime of awesomeness!  Peep it here:

The Lil' Boy Card Slip Wallet comes in 3 colors; Coal Black, Natural Leather, & Oxblood Red:

El Jefe Snap Wallet.  Called El Jefe due to it's extreme Boss like Status, this wallet is goes so damn hard and is probably the toughest wallet you'll ever own!  Comes in 2 colorways, Oxblood Red & Coal Black.

As of today, 7/14 both the Lil' Boy and El Jefe will be on sale as I really want these to get out to the public.  I only made a couple of each since, well, they take a long time and are not cheap to make.  After this week they will go up to full sale price which will be a $10 to $15 increase.  Just like many other Shift'D Accessories, if you like something don't sleep as everything is very limited.  Quality Over Quantity!

The entire Shift'D Leather Wallet Collection can be shopped shiftdunion.com.

New Leather'D 5Panels!

Since I have been really into Leather making I wanted to combine my Leathering skills with my knack for streetwear fashion.  I personally have always loved 5Panels so I thought I would customize a variety of 5Panels with hand made Leather patches.  I collabed with the original Classic 5Panel brand and hand made and hand sewed every leather patch you see.  I call this collection, the Leather'D Collection.  Each hat from start to finish takes over an hour to complete, therefore, it is very limited.  Here's a video I made for this collection:


Up first is the Leather'D "Box" 5Panel Hat Collection:

 

 Next up, the Leather'D "Emblem" 5Panel Hat Collection:

And lastly, the Leather'D "Diamond" 5Panel Collection:

So that is the entire Leather'D 5Panel hat collection!  I hope that you like what you see and if you really like, they are available to purchase here >> The Leather'D 5Panel Collection
