【Coming Soon】Journeyman Card Carryall【JDG94652】

The "Journeyman" card carryall is designed with the philosophy of mid-20th century American workwear and leather goods in mind. In the United States around the 1950s, leather wallets and card cases that fit into work clothes pockets and could be handled quickly were commonly used by laborers and craftsmen. These were not specific named models, but rather "tool-like wallets" that prioritized practicality, and were made in various locations.

Before the widespread adoption of factory systems, they traveled from place to place, honing their skills while undertaking work. Their attitude of valuing the process of accumulating experience rather than settling for a finished product is consistent with the philosophy of American workwear, which emphasizes durability and practicality.
