His business.
IMHO his approach to announcing the increase is gawdawful. Unless, as mentioned by several above, he wants a pre-September sales bump for some strange reason. |

Thanks. Just picked up a blem slim bifold wallet for $19 shipped. Curious to give it a try. I've got their Wing Briefcase, and have been extremely happy with it. Very well made, good quality leather (without any of Saddleback's "it builds character" blemishes), and shipped quickly and well-packed. |

Plenty of other places selling expensive leather goods. If you look around, there may even be a local saddlemaker type shop that can custom make whatever you want. Nothing proprietary about leather.

Saddle back wallet was a waste of money. Looked nice initially, but even new one designed to not break cards (which I have) broke them like clock work. Customer service's solution was for me to not put the wallet in my back pocket. When I finally replaced it with a nicer wallet it looked like ass, and I used it for less than a year.

I don't get it. I mean,if yo can afford really nice shit, go for it, enjoy what you've earned. But seriously, why the fuck would yo pay that much for fucking wallet or a belt when there are cheaper options available that do the exact same thing? I'm wearing a gun belt right now that I got at a gunshow from a no name dealer. It's thick, it's comfortable, and it does what I need. I think I paid $40 for it. YMMV. Overpriced. I wouldn't pay $60 for a friggin wallet unless it comes with a month's supply of blow jobs |

Does anyone remember the email regarding charging extra for leather with blemishes like insect bite scabs that made the leather "unique" and should fetch a higher price? That guy is PT Barnum.
I do have a wallet, but it was overpriced back then. It will probably last forever though. |

Reading that email was painful. Fuck yeah. I've got a front pocket wallet and one of the notepad holders and I love them, but I bought them a while back. Dave Munson is, bar none, the most tone-deaf business person I've ever seen. Dude makes reasonably priced, not overly finished goods and does well. Then decides to dial down the finish level and call it character while raising the price. Then he fesses to using cheaper, discarded leather with scars and calls it more character and raises the price. Then starts pimping his wife's shapeless tote-sacks and charges a Saddleback price. Then starts adding in "limited editions" with large scars and brands AND RAISES THE PRICE. Now he sends out an email that says "Hey, ignore all the trips I've taken and all the videos of me sipping tea in Morroco for a month at a time and check this! I suck at business and just realized it so fuck you, pay me. If you don't pay me by September first, fuck you pay me more." But, hey, he includes a bible verse with each cow-sack, so he must be cool... |

Places like Coach actually sell real leather wallets that you can look at and touch before buying. Wallets at JC Pennys Walmart etc are made of very fake leather. You can knock Coach because they are known for purses but they actually make a very high quallity real leather wallet. 
I have a card holder from them I have owned for about 6 years. Its been accidentally washed probably 6 times. Its held up great. Looks like this one

That is some seriously overpriced stuff as it is.

Everyone loves the smell of freshly worked tanned leather. Problem is, it gets funky after sweating on it for a couple of years.
Here are some wallets that don't break your cards, are very lightweight, and won't break the bank, either. I've been using mine in Saudi for almost 3 years, and they still look brand new: flowfold.com They're made out of recycled carbon fiber / mylar sailcloth. The design of the Vanguard wallet is outstanding, as my cards don't fall out. Extremely thin, so no bulk in the pocket. As I have meralgia paresthetica in my left hip, it really helped. I got a front pocket wallet, too, as I need to have a half-dozen different ID cards just to get to my office and logged on. I had looked at Saddleback when I was in the market, but they were just too pricy and bulky. No, I am not paid to endorse Flowfold, have no relationship with them, nor have I had my emails hacked by WikiLeaks. Saddleback didn't piss in my cornflakes, either.
