Just arrived. $267 all in.

locutus49 · 13 October 2016, 03:59 AM

My wife Jill's "Battle 37" Tote (medium size). If you look closely, where one of the straps is attached, there are 3 cartridge slots, a design element from their armory heritage.

Also notice the leather protective corners. Cost $800 including shipping (non-expedited, so it took 12 days from Paris to California).

I haven't really had much time to check it all out etc, I was "listening" to a conference call while posting the "review"

For the price I don't think it can be beat, in terms of luxury card holders.
I'll probably use and abuse it over the course of the next couple weeks/months and check back in with an update.

This works for me. I carry 5 cards (DL and work badge in one slot and one debit/credit card in each of the other three slots) and some cash in the center slot. It's probably going to be a right fit at first, but hopefully it loosens up and breaks-in. Is it easy to pull the cash in and out of the center slot? That little thumb cut-out should make it easy to pull cards and cash in and out.

How would you rank this with other luxury card holders and wallets?

Now I'm leaning towards the yellow edging. I need some more color in my life. LOL!

very nice John!

Very nice, going to show my wife, looks to be a better built tote than the St. Louis Goyard bag that falls apart at the corners if they aren't reinforced. Maybe I'll throw in a wallet on the order

locutus49 · 13 October 2016, 04:13 AM

Yours is gorgeous.

I would love to buy that model, but I wear my wallet in my back pocket so it is just too big for me.

The yellow edging isn't nearly as loud as I expected, really happy with it.
They're not that easy to pull out, but easy enough where I wouldn't worry about rushing through a check out. I imagine they'll loosen up over time to form fit whichever cards you put in the slots.
In terms of luxury wallets I can only compare it to the LV shown, they're probably on par with one another in terms of quality (The LV in 09 was over $500). I stopped using the LV a couple years ago when I stopped carrying such a large wallet.
I've only had it a couple hours so I imagine in a week or so I'll be able to update with better feedback, but hell, for $200 it's a no brainer

jschmidtdmd · 13 October 2016, 04:32 AM

Of course I spent more than 800......gotta see what happens now.

lol

texex91 · 13 October 2016, 04:44 AM

It's a receiving party today!

Congrats to all the new owners and their goodies--can't wait to see my wallet!

Looking forward to being part of the "1717 Club"

mjclark32 · 13 October 2016, 04:50 AM

Something tells me they're going to be raising prices after seeing all this yankee interest!

Cheers Mike for all the feedback

This piece is sure a looker! I'm going to fire off my email to FLP shortly, so the payment link is waiting for me in morning.

texex91 · 13 October 2016, 05:34 AM

Looks like secondary market is like a 116500

I know, that's crazy! There are handful for sale in the upper $300 range. FLP gets you on the shipping, but ~$200 all in is a great price for a luxury card holder.

Gnboy · 13 October 2016, 06:59 AM

My bi-fold 6cc Walnut should be here Friday ;)

Looking forward to this one.

If all goes well I think I will grab my wife a bag for X-mas. She had a Neverfull LV a few years back but sold it off for something else at some point. The hard part, picking the color without her knowing too much. May have to run it by her sister.

Dr.Brian · 13 October 2016, 08:11 AM

I'm still waiting...

Looking good guys!

RW16610 · 13 October 2016, 09:02 AM

Very nice, guys!

Vaxe · 13 October 2016, 09:17 AM

Placed the order on Friday, shipped on Monday, and arrived today - Wednesday!
Very pleased with the service and construction of the bifold. This is some rugged stuff.
Thanks again John for the referral.

christianj · 13 October 2016, 09:21 AM

I'm on the list for the 6CC wallet in Steel Gray once it's back in stock. Price of Euro 233 + shipping is a good deal and based on quality I might order the briefcase I posted earlier.

As a comparison LV Damier Graphite 8CC slender wallet was $440 + tax and Goyard 8CC which I posted in post #52 of this thread was $785 + tax (both purchased in the US so likely cheaper in Europe).

Looking good! Rugged as in good?

I sent an email to Nicolas to place order for the card case in Paris Blue with yellow edging.

locutus49 · 13 October 2016, 10:08 AM

The Daily Battle 37 (MEDIUM) is actually quite large (Measuring the bottom 6 1/4" wide by 14" long, and about 12" high).

Note: it contains no inner or outer pockets, just a well-made tote with one interior ring that my wife hangs her keys from.

You are quite welcome. My wife believes your other wallet is Botega Veneto.

For those (like me) that want to know how to pronounce it:

singe89 · 13 October 2016, 02:01 PM

Worst enabling thread ever...just reached out for a new wallet and bag for the wife.

jw0n · 13 October 2016, 02:16 PM

I have been following this thread page by page. Wished I stumbled upon it earlier; was in Paris last month and have already bought a new wallet.

@locutus49 how does that tote hold up? Is it thick and structured? Goyard equivalent is soft and can't maintain its shape. My gf's birthday is coming up and I'm honestly considering this!

Another one falls! Which wallet did you get?

Who knew a bunch of guys would have discussions over wallets and purses, but it's addicting

It sure is addicting. Just like watches.

I'm waiting for my payment link and hoping I'll receive it before next Wednesday.
