Full quill ostrich in black. The raised bumps across the face are the follicles the feathers grew from. They come from the crown of the hide, the smallest and most sought after part of the skin, which is why full quill ostrich is priced above the leg and the smooth sections. Ostrich is a soft, pliable skin that breaks in rather than wears out, and it takes the fold of a wallet without cracking.
This is a plain bi-fold, stitched around the outside edge and rounded at the corners, with the quill pattern running across both faces. Nothing is stamped or branded on it. It suits a man who wants an exotic skin without an obvious logo on it, and it wears in over years rather than seasons.
We sell it out of our one room store on East 1st Avenue in Old Town Scottsdale, where we have been cutting and finishing leather for more than 25 years. Come and handle it in person, because a photograph flattens the quill.
