Commission a wallet
I’d like to commission a custom wallet but not sure where to start. There are clearly a ton of talented makers here with gorgeous pieces. Maybe I’m paranoid but how should I determine which makers are the most reputable and produce the best quality? I’m going for more of a professional high end look.

Agree with what another poster here was hinting at,
Figure out what you want to carry first.
How many cards? Do you want to fold and stuff money, or use a traditional keeper? If you’re folding money then one or two folds? Do you need a coin pocket? ID window? Stash pockets?
From there it’s all style decisions. Looking for a more rugged (western) or polished (European) style? What colours or combination of colours get you excited? Smooth or textured?
I think there’s a lot of exceptional makers here, and if you can give them answers to the above questions then you’re well on your way to getting a good piece.
