Quick Spotlight on my daughter, Charley, aka, "Martha Crachit"

When we set out last year to begin on developing our own hardware it wasn't necessarily with anything in mind other than the thought that it sure would be cool to do. Now the pandemic is winding down for us in the States but all across the globe logistics are now having a hard time keeping up with demand. That means that supply chains are being squeezed and many folks are having a hard time getting even the simple day to day things they need for production...

There are some times though where instead of doing a preview with custom orders for a certain hide, that we go ahead and make "1 of everything" in a small batch. These wallets are all thematically similar, featuring the same hides, hardware, and accents...

It's the LA Rams Vs. the Cincinnati Bengals for Super Bowl LVI! That also means its time for our yearly contest to see who can pick the winner. Will Stafford lead a charge to victory for the Rams? Or perhaps Burrow will bury the Rams at SoFi? Take your pick for chance to win a $250 gift card from Anvil Customs!

We've done a couple of these so far but in 2022 I think we'll be doing a lot more. So lets talk about what a Group Buy is, how you get in on one and what will be available...

You see cheap thin leather very frequently ends up where else but in the trash.

This means that we have a lead/production time where we craft these items before they're put in a package and shipped out to you. Additionally, the post office has had some notable delays thanks to the sheer volume of packages being shipped this year alongside some lingering pandemic woes. Ultimately what that means for Anvil Customs this holiday season is...

Over the course of the last few years we've been completely revamping a handful of our wallet interiors. It can be a little scary to purchase a wallet without having the opportunity to get your hands on them, but I'll do whatever it takes to exemplify that these wallets are the best quality you can find. I thought I'd take a moment to take a look at each style for both old customers and new ones who might want to know more about the product.

The Lambskin we have access to currently falls in line with some of the other actual exotic hides we've worked with in recent memory and the finish and feel of the hide is frankly too good to not work with. We've spent an enormous amount of time calibrating the combinations of leather thickness used on the various sections of each wallet design.

We've been prototyping a new mini bifold interior for most of the summer. Some folks have their hands on these tests and the feedback has been very positive...
