Gothic Cross Blue Stingray & Shark Skin Trifold Biker Wallet
SKU: 1463
This wallet uses two different exotic hides plus hand-braided lacing around the full edge. That level of construction is rare at this price. The braiding is tight and even, with no loose tails.
Heads up: the trifold opens to nearly 12 inches flat. The snap flap adds a third layer of thickness. If your front pocket is tight, this wallet wants the back pocket or a jacket. It's built for function and durability, not slim minimalism.
The Specs — And What They Actually Mean
Questions You're Probably Asking
Q: Is there a meaning behind the gothic cross design?
The gothic cross — sometimes called a budded or fleury cross — dates back to medieval European heraldry. It was widely used by crusading orders and cathedral architects. The trefoil tips symbolize the Holy Trinity. On this wallet, the cross serves double duty: it's the central design element and the frame for the stingray inlay, letting the exotic hide's natural eye become the visual focal point.
Q: How do I attach a wallet chain to this?
There's a silver grommet already installed on the interior flap — you just loop your chain's clasp through it. No drilling, no hardware to add. It's positioned so the chain exits cleanly when the wallet is in your back pocket.
Q: Will the blue stingray color fade over time?
Stingray hide is dyed all the way through — it's not a surface coating. The color holds up extremely well even with daily handling. The beads may develop a slight polish over years of wear, which actually makes the blue-to-white gradient more pronounced, not less.
Q: Can I fit this in a front jeans pocket?
Technically yes, but it's a tight fit when fully loaded. The trifold design stacks three layers of leather, so at full capacity it's around ¾" thick. Back pocket or jacket breast pocket is more comfortable for everyday carry.
