The lantern logo means more than a mark stamped into leather. It’s our ethos. A reminder that someone still believes in doing things the right way.

Every wallet is made using time-tested techniques and machinery from a bygone era. No shortcuts. No cutting corners. Just purpose, precision, and craftsmanship rooted in tradition.

Some things are better made the way they used to be.

A little sneak peek of something special dropping soon.

The Claudia Bag-named after my mother for Mother’s Day. A bag inspired by strength, patience, and the kind of craftsmanship that lasts through generations.

More details coming soon.

Portland — we’re set up at all weekend.

Bikes, trucks, leather goods, good food, live music, and cold beer—it’s all happening under one roof. We brought a full lineup of handcrafted wallets and leather pieces, made the old way, right here in Oregon.

If you’re into machines, craftsmanship, and the kind of work that tells a story, come find us.

See you at the show.

Durning WWII many cast iron metal machines were melted down to support the war effort. This one survived. One person told me there were less than 300 Landis #3 that made it. Who knows how many are still actually left?

Using a needle and awl machine means every wallet has to lock the stitches by hand

04/09/2026

Sewing on a needle and awl machine—like the legendary Landis #3—feels less like operating equipment and more like time-travel, locking each stitch the old-school way with a hooked awl so your wallet holds together long after the story behind it gets passed down.

Oh baby. I’ve been struggling to keep these in stock. I wasn’t sure people were going to want a bigger wallet cause I sell a s**t ton of card wallet. First batch of 4 sold out instantly. Made another batch of 8 and those went quickly. Just restocked another small batch so you bedda giddy up and sn**ch em before they are gone again.

People don’t think about SD card storage—until the plastic sleeves crack, bend, and give up on life. So we made something better. A micro Rustler for SD cards. No flimsy plastic. No “please don’t break” packaging. Just overbuilt storage in true Dark Forest fashion.

Because apparently your files deserve better than a snack-sized piece of regret.
