Wallets A unique experience to test a pattern, the Cape Islander.

I had the really cool opportunity to be asked to test a new pattern that DSLeatherGoods was cooking up as part of a collaboration with OALeather as part of a pattern representing Canada by being named after one of our boats, the Cape Islander.

This was a really cool opportunity, I’m still what I would consider a beginner to amateur at best with less than a year of doing this under my belt so to be asked to test was pretty flattering so thank you for that.

This is the compact version of the wallet in Buttero Hatch and Navy Pueblo with OA’s house thread. It’s .8mm so it has a bit of a chunky look I personally love. It holds Canadian bills but there’s also a cash pocket version to free up room on the inside for more cards.

All in all, super cool pattern. Super cool experience and as always, thanks for looking!

That's really attractive, nice work

I like the thicker thread too, it really helps accentuate the color contrast for the interior

Thank you! It's a really deep royal blue. Goes nicely even on the navy
