When we look at the weight and gauge of certain leathers we're having to do a little tactile mathematics. Because our wallets are seldom made from a single ply of leather. We're looking for the right combination of leathers that get a certain thickness and flexibility that we know will break in well.
If you would like to be certain that your order from Anvil Customs this year is under the Christmas Tree, I would recommend making your order by December 10th. That's the last day we can promise to have your order done in time and shipped for Christmas. That goes doubly true if you live out of country...
If you do your research you will find hundreds of websites that sell mass produced thin leather wallets from Asia that really don't have that "special" quality about them. Plus they're basically designed to fall apart in a year or two, so that's right out. No no, you want something that is unique, nicely crafted and built to last don't you? That's the type of gift that really makes a statement.
Knowing your tools and materials, making stuff with your hands, and doing it to make something that will last a long, long time are all fundamental facets of the leatherwork we do. Our wallets, belts, and various other products are crafted with care so that while you might spend more on one made by us, you're not going to have to buy a new one in a year or two because it wore out... but you might want to just because of how awesome they are.
As a continuation of our "Way Too Early" Gift guide for 2019 we'll be covering a few more ideas that we think will make a great gift for your loved ones. In this section we'll be covering some of the more luxurious leather offerings we have available for the person in your life who really deserves the top shelf gift.
You already know about the Anvil Crew Forum right? Right. That's where we post our Wednesday Auctions. Additionally there are other topics you might want to follow too?... We've also started a leader board for accruing points. You'll be able to get to the top by creating new topics and generally interacting with the forum.
If you're one of those people who is "on it" and typically knows how to "get things done" I commend you. Its entirely likely that you're already preparing your holiday gift purchases, so I thought I'd take a moment to share with you some fine ideas that we currently have available that make excellent gifts. You probably wouldn't be surprised to know that *most* people don't have the foresight to plan this far in advance. Again, kudos to you. As a company that makes things pretty much to order that "last minute" gift purchasing routine is a lot tougher to accommodate as it gets closer to Christmas time. So without further ado, behold...
Recently there's been some confusion however, as we've been swapping back and forth between running the auctions on the Anvil Crew Facebook Group page, and on our own Anvil Crew Forums through the website. We always want to make it easy for our patrons to effectively participate in these auctions and we've been trying to determine just where the auctions seem to go the smoothest. But after a few months of deliberation it turns out they both seem to work about equal in terms of participation, the only caveat being that some folks want them on the Facebook Group, and others want them on the Website. Both locations have their merits so as a solution we've started to ask ourselves "Why not both?"
U.S. 66 got its name right here in Springfield, Mo making our beautiful town the Birthplace of Route 66. Every year our wonderful town throws a big celebration and Anvil is happy to be apart of that celebration. This year marks the 9th anniversary of the event, taking place Aug 9-10. For those of you who don't know, our shop is located right off of Route 66 on Park Central Square. Its a fantastic event that celebrates everything Main Street USA has to offer.
We offer a pretty wide variety of products made from a variety of exotic leathers. You might find wallets, belts and other products crafted from alligator, elephant, python and even some zebra leathers which are all spectacular for their own reasons. I thought I'd take a moment to describe the top 7 for folks out there who may not be familiar with the different qualities our most common exotic leathers have.
Once you've accrued enough points for an award you can redeem them for various tiers of discounts. These discounts are awarded to you in the form of a discount code. You can use this discount code on anything on the website.
Its a fair question. Do people still wear wallet chains? To answer that question you should probably ask yourself another question, Do people still ride motorcycles? Of course they do! As riding grew in popularity it turns out, a lot of folks ended up losing their wallets on the side of the road. One odd seat adjustment and zow...
