Welcome to the Shop!
What can I make for you today?
Funded through Kickstarter! About two years ago (almost to the day, actually) I became fed up with all of the wallet designs out there; They were all either too thick, too stiff, too gimmicky, didn’t carry enough, got stretched out, or made of cheap materials that would inevitably fail after a few months of use. Since then, I’ve been building, testing, and refining my take on the ultimate solution to carrying our precious currency. I call it, the Sumo Wallet™;
A truly expanding, low-profile wallet made from high quality materials that aims to redefine the term "minimalist" entirely.
SPECS:

We’ve all been there; You’ve just discovered your long lost sunglasses in an obscure pocket of your bag that also happens to be jammed with keys, batteries, cables and other natural enemies to your sensitive lenses. You pull them out, and they’re completely thrashed, then you say, “If only sunglasses cases were thinner, then I would’ve used one!”
Introducing: The Slim Glasses Case. Made by hand from robust American cowhide and soft New Zealand deerskin suede, durability has never been so plush. Just unfold your glasses, pop open the button stud flap, insert the glasses into the sleeve, snap the flap back down, fold your glasses, and voila! Now you can rest easy knowing that your lenses are safe and sound, without the bulk of a traditional case to consume your valuable cargo space.
Oh, and there’s a fully retractable premium microfiber cleaning cloth built in. No big deal. It’s only the handiest glasses case ever :)
SPECS:
+10 Endurance
+8 Intelligence
+2 Perception
Slim: At least half the thickness of a traditional bulky glasses case, this case can slip into a pocket or bag without issue. Gone are the days of traveling without one!
Solid: With a shell constructed from one solid piece of 4 oz American-made Hermann Oak vegetable tanned cowhide, fully stitched with 1mm thick Star Nylon to an interior lined with New Zealand deerskin suede, a steel-grommeted ultra-soft microfiber cloth, and an exterior weather-treated with beeswax based conditioners, you can count on this case to endure anything you can throw at it.
Break It Down: The included microfiber cloth can be removed and cleaned if needed, all by untwisting one single, super solid, American-made Chicago Screw.
Make It Yours: Choose your leather color(s), thread color, cloth color, and hardware color, then have something engraved at no extra charge! Custom artwork, logos, and simple text are all welcome. (Pro Tip: Lighter colored leathers show engraving better)

What if I told you that t-shirts are the mortal enemy to glasses? That Pink Floyd shirt you've been wearing for the past 20 years? Yeah, it wants nothing more than to eat away that delicious Anti-Reflective coating on your glasses. If you've ever used fabric softener, that material becomes embedded into your clothing, as well as other particles of dirt and debris, and leaves micro-scratches that eventually ruin your lenses and other surfaces like phone screens, watch crystals, and camera lenses.
The cure? (No, not the band, ya silly) A microfiber cloth! Preferably one that's always with you, can be cleaned, and looks super cool. To that end, I present to you: the ParaCloth; A universal, ultra-versatile, super simple cloth system that will become your new best friend.
SPECS:
+12 Endurance
+6 Intelligence
+3 Perception
Ultra Convenient: Attach the ParaCloth to almost anything with the included American-made weather-resistant stainless steel S-biner, featuring dual spring gates that will hold, secure, and connect to everything from keys to water bottles to gear (just don't climb anything with it). Once attached, use one hand to pull the cloth out from its pouch, and wipe away! Stow the cloth by simply stuffing it back into the pouch.
Solid Construction: With a removable shell constructed from one solid piece of 3 oz American-made Hermann Oak vegetable tanned cowhide, a steel-grommeted ultra-soft microfiber cloth, an interior sealed with Acrylic Resolene to prevent any fuzzies from adhering to the cloth, and an exterior weather-treated with beeswax based conditioners, you can count on this pouch to outlast the worst of conditions for the unknown road ahead.
Break It Down: The ParaCloth can be completely field stripped and cleaned or have components swapped out in seconds, all by untwisting one single, super solid, American-made Chicago Screw. Don't like the clip? Just remove it! Now the unit is fully streamlined and pocket-ready. For added security, one could use a dab of mild Threadlock to prevent the unit from coming undone in intense situations.
Make It Yours: Choose your leather color, cloth color, and hardware color, then have something engraved at no extra charge! Custom artwork, logos, and simple text are all welcome. (Pro Tip: Lighter colored leathers show engraving better)
Dimensions: Body, Folded - 2.125" H x 2.25" W x 0.5" T. Body, Unfolded - 6.75" x 4.5". Cloth - 6.5" W x 6" H.

Let your cover tell a story.
As a designer and human being, I've come to find that the ability to take down one's thoughts and ideas for reference later to be the cheapest and most reliable insurance around. So, I figure if I'm gonna carry around such an important tool, it should at least look the part. The fact that its contents are considerably more protected is a plus, too.

- Rugged: 4 oz weather-sealed veg tan leather shell with edges hand-burnished to perfection.
- Amphibious: Rite in the Rain® graph pages defy mother nature herself.
- Handy: At 3"W x 5"H x 3/8"D, this pad slides effortlessly into any pocket.
- Reusable: Buy it once, use it for life. When you run out of pages, just remove the leather shells from the binding and slide them onto a fresh new pad!
- Personalized: Your ideas should be as much an extension of yourself as the cover that protects them. Choose your color, have something engraved, or even ink stamped (optional upon checkout).
