Repairing Leather Anvil Wallets For Longevity and Sustainability
What you may not realize is that Anvil wallets are actually the type of leather product that's good for the environment! You see cheap thin leather very frequently ends up where else but in the trash. Now it makes good honest sense that if you're going to consume an animal you damn well better make good use of the whole beast...

Holiday Shipping Deadline: Dec 1
As you may or may not know many of the items available on the website are made at the time of purchase. This is particularly true for our basic Cowhide Offerings and all Wallet Chains. This means that we have a lead/production time where we craft these items before they're put in a package and shipped out to you. Additionally, the post office has had some notable delays thanks to the sheer volume of packages being shipped this year alongside some lingering pandemic woes. Ultimately what that means for Anvil Customs this holiday season is...

New Wallet Interior Designs
Over the course of the last few years we've been completely revamping a handful of our wallet interiors. It can be a little scary to purchase a wallet without having the opportunity to get your hands on them, but I'll do whatever it takes to exemplify that these wallets are the best quality you can find. I thought I'd take a moment to take a look at each style for both old customers and new ones who might want to know more about the product.

The Qualities of Lambskin
The Lambskin we have access to currently falls in line with some of the other actual exotic hides we've worked with in recent memory and the finish and feel of the hide is frankly too good to not work with. We've spent an enormous amount of time calibrating the combinations of leather thickness used on the various sections of each wallet design.

Forging and Casting Update: Initial Casting Process and Results
If you've been following along (or even if you haven't ) we thought it would be a good idea to give you an update on where we're currently at with our forging and casting expansion. One of our big goals this year at Anvil Customs is to develop a more robust catalog of hardgoods. First, you might be asking, "Anvil you already do so much, why the heck would you want to do that too?" ...

Father's Day (Jun. 20th) with Anvil Customs
Every Dad has his day. Celebrate the big man this year with a nice piece from Anvil Customs. We have all sorts of options that are sure to bring a smile to his face. Keep in mind though that many of our wallets are made to order which means that it takes us a couple days to craft each one. Right now our production times are nice and short but if everyone orders a gift for him at the last minute we'll be unable to guarantee delivery by the holiday. So get your orders in now folks! Consider purchasing one of these fine pieces...

Springtime in Springfield
Spring has sprung at the Anvil Customs Shop, currently located on Park Central Square, just off of historic Rt. 66 in Springfield Missouri. The traditional excitement of nice weather, and lively events are made extra special this year, as we climb our way out of a pandemic lock-down. We've always been more of a "by appointment" type of shop. Seldom do folks want to walk in off the street to buy premium leather goods. And the added length of production times generally means that it's just more efficient for everyone involved if a person makes a purchase off the website or via PayPal invoice. But the added caution to prevent the spread of the virus has meant that we've been particularly closed off from the general public over the last year...
