Limited Edition! The Chieftain Wallet - J&Fj Baker Russian Calf
Limited Edition! The Chieftain Wallet - J&Fj Baker Russian Calf
I can not stress how rare, luxurious and unique this special leather is. Tanned by Britain's Master Tanners J&Fj Baker.
HISTORY
Arguably the finest leather in the world has made its way to the Orraman Leather workshop and the Cheiftain wallet. Russian Calf leather by J&Fj Baker. Britain's last remaining Oak Bark Tannery. And you can definitely tell this leather is tanned using Oak Bark, It smells incredible!!!
Russian Leather is a legendary material that, until 1970’s, was lost in history. In 1786 the Metta Catharina sank of the coast off Devon in the Plymouth Sound where it lay for two centuries under the silt of the sea bed. The discovery of the leather in such fine condition after 200 years at the bottom of the sea floor is a testimony of the unique material’s resistance and strength.
J&Fj Baker Studied, replicated and perfected this incredible and extremely rare leather so it was not lost to history and we now have the unique opportunity to use it on this limited edition Chieftain wallet!

STITCHING METHOD
HAND STITCHED - This method of sewing is simply superior to machine stitching. It is the most beautiful and strongest way to sew.
MACHINE STITCH - The machine stitch does not lack quality and still falls under the protection of our lifetime guarantee. Whilst not as nice as hand stitching this method of stitching is of the highest quality. Machine sewn wallets will default to a cream coloured thread.
Looks and feels really high-quality. Has a definite handcrafted vibe to it, with a lot of character. I emailed asking Orraman Leather to customise the tartan lining and the colour of the thread, and they were fine with this - the end result looks brilliant.
Good wallet I like. It smells nice, feels nice, looks nice, works nice, good work.
Beautiful hand made leather wallet, present for my Son. Made to last a lifetime. We are both very pleased. Many thanks.
Well made, good price, arrived well
