I was really happy to receive a Fat Herbie in Colour #8 CXL as a Christmas gift. Beautiful leather and handiwork - I'm looking forward to wearing it in. I've loaded it with two cards per slot and it still has a nice slim profile and fits perfectly in my back pocket. Dan S., Ontario Canada

If you've never owned a wallet like this, don't be intimidated by the form factor. It will fit in the back pocket of your jeans. It is eye catching, as you could expect from an oversized wallet like this. I got mine in color 8 cxl, so it's especially attention grabbing over another, less unique color. I am a novice when it comes to Horween leather and Ashland, but I like the quality of leather a lot and I have even bought my father a Capone for Christmas. I carry 8 cards with me, 3 of them being my most frequently used ones. I'm glad that they're easily accessible and they each get their own card slot. The location bill slot is still taking getting used to tbh, but not a big deal or anything.

I heard about Ashland a few years ago, did my research and ended up getting this wallet, and I'm sooooo glad I did. The leather is amazing, the design just works, and the patina after a few months is just beautiful. I used it with a couple cards in each slot and a few bills every now and then, and it just disappeared in my back pocket! It is large, but not bulky at all; I don't know what kind of sorcery they used to come up with the idea, but it just works.

I've needed a new leather wallet for several years. Threads coming loose, etc. But you get used to a wallet, and it is tough (for me) to change. The Fat Herbie made it easier. I like the capacity, but I miss having a divider in the currency storage. In the old wallet, my practice was to put receipts on one side of the currency divider, for a while. That currency slot/pocket is on the OUTSIDE of the wallet. It's fine though, after a bit of adjustment. I sort currency by denomination, and I'm still deciding which end of the stack of bills has the big bills.

I’m used to a very thin wallet and I was worried about the Fat Herbie being too bulky, however, that has not been the case at all. I have 2 cards in each slot and I can still barely feel it. The leather was nice and soft and quickly conformed to my cards. Great wallet!
