Franklin Navy Leather Wallet – Handmade in USA

Lost Dutchman Leather traces its commercial beginnings to 2017, when founder Nathan “Nate” Walker began selling his leatherwork online; he made the business his full-time work in 2020. With early roots in Mesa, Arizona, the company now identifies its workshop as Apache Junction, Arizona. Walker’s childhood interest in leathercraft grew into a business focused on useful designs, durable materials, and American handcraftsmanship. The team aims to make everyday goods that people can keep and enjoy as the leather develops character. The navy Franklin leather wallet brings cards and paper currency together in a compact cash-wrap design. It is cut and folded from one piece of full-grain cowhide, with a tuck-in front flap instead of stitched seams. Its main compartment accommodates up to 12 cards plus cash, while an exterior pocket keeps a frequently used card within easier reach. Choose the Standard USD or International size to suit the notes you actually carry. Single piece of full-grain American cowhide Stitchless folded construction with a tuck closure Rear easy-access card pocket One main interior compartment for cards and cash Capacity up to 12 cards plus cash Handmade start to finish in Arizona, United States Standard USD size: 3 × 3.875 inches closed. International size: 3.25 × 3.75 inches closed. The International option accepts notes up to 156 × 82 mm. These are different wallet sizes, so select the required option rather than assuming all currencies fit the Standard version. Capacity is a maximum stated by the maker. Actual fit depends on card thickness, bill count, and how the contents are arranged. Start with your daily essentials and check that the flap tucks closed without force. This navy wallet uses full-grain American cowhide. The natural grain can show small variations, and use can gradually change the surface color and sheen. Patina and minor scuffs give individual pieces a different appearance over time. This particular model is stitchless; generic references to thread on the supplier’s site do not describe its construction. Wipe away surface dust with a clean, dry cloth. For a mark that needs more attention, use a slightly damp cloth without soaking the leather. Avoid harsh soaps and household chemicals. If the wallet gets wet, gently blot it and let it air dry away from direct sunlight, heaters, and hairdryers. Apply a small amount of suitable leather conditioner when the hide feels dry, following the conditioner’s instructions and testing a discreet area first. Conditioning needs vary with use and climate. Keep the wallet away from prolonged heat and avoid packing in more cards than it closes around comfortably. For the Franklin, place cards in the main compartment and use the cash-wrap flap to hold bills unfolded or folded in half. Keep your most-used card in the rear pocket if that arrangement suits your routine. For a different layout with a dedicated cash divider, compare the brown Franklin 2 wallet.
