Ok, we’ve made gear bags before. And they were pretty cool. Some of them were even carbon fiber. But none of them are as cool as our new Airstreams. We make two carbon fiber versions, one all black and VERY stealthy, and then one that black and red, and VERY hot. Basically, these carbon fiber duffel bags are drool worthy. Check ‘em out:

After making one of these as a custom job for a friend of ours, we decided to go for it full tilt boogie and ordered up some super strength magnets of our own and went to work. The result? One awesome magnetic money clip wallet with an awesome carbon fiber sailcloth card pocket. These are perfect for some cash and cards. Very simple, very classy, very cool. Five card pocket lining colors to choose from including black (for the stealth edition), neon orange, lime green, bright blue, and red. 
The money clip part itself is made out of folder over 2″ nylon webbing that won’t fall apart and we’ve sewn a carbon fiber accent strip to it so it still looks as cool as the rest of the wallet. The wallet is made with our usual “made to last” mentality, so its got triple step zig stitching with heavy weight thread.

We make seriously cool wallets in seriously cool colors out of seriously cool material. We use sailcloth, from all black carbon fiber to ridiculously neon orange, lime green, and hot pink and everything in between. And perhaps the most seriously coolest part of all: these wallets are handmade in the USA by us: two seriously cool people (my mom and I), not overseas, and not in some giant factory.
Introducing Cool Wallet Number One: The Mini
Mini wallets are easy to hide when you want to, and easy to find when you need to. They’re the ideal wallet for someone that doesn’t want to be weighed down by the all the stuff you can jam into a “regular” wallet.
Features:
- super duty laminate sailcloth material
- two card pockets
- large sleeve pocket
- folded measures 4.25″ by 2.75″
Cool Wallet Number Two: The Petite Pocket Bifold
This is one of our newest designs that came about originally as a custom request and we liked it so much we decided to make a couple different batches. Its almost the same size as a mini, but it has a full size bill pocket which makes it a little more practical while still being really compact. Its a bifold with two card pockets on each side where the cards slide in horizontally from the middle rather then from the top.
Cool Wallet Number Three: Super Thin Bifold (with an ID pocket or without)
People have told us that these wallets, fully loaded, are thinner then their old bifolds 
empty. Thanks to the awesome laminate sailcloth materials we use with super strong fibers of carbon, aramid, technora, and kevlar, these wallets are thin without being flimsy.
Features:
- clear ID pocket (or not)
- four card sleeves
- full size bill pocket
- two hidden bonus pocket
- waterproof sailcloth
- folded measures: 3 1/2h ” x 4 1/2w” and less than 1/4″ thick
Cool Wallet Number Four: Traditional Velcro Trifold (with ID pocket or change pocket)
Same style as that cheapo wallet you bought at the surf shop last year that fell apart in the middle of your crazy summer adventure… accept that this one won’t fall apart, it isn’t made overseas, and it isn’t that cheap. Its sailcloth, and the seams are triple step zig zagged. Basically, its built like a brick sh*t house. 
It’s made by our 4 hands. And it costs $40.
Features:
- four card sleeves
- full size bill pocket
- clear vinyl ID pocket or velcro change pocket
- hidden bonus pocket
- full velcro closure
- waterproof sailcloth
- folded measures: 4 1/2 ” x 3 1/2″ and approx 3/8″ thick
Cool Wallet Number Five: Carbon Fiber Magnetic Money Clip Wallet
These wallets haven’t been release yet. Expect the first ones to be live on the website by the end of October at the latest. Its our same awesome carbon fiber sailcloth and super duty construction but slimmed down, no frills, just simple. One pocket for cards and two super magnets to keep your bills safe on the outside.

I can tell you that this all started a long time ago with my absolute insane love to send mail! But not just any mail… the super special kind of mail that makes the post office do a double take and the person at the mailbox smile.
I really can’t quite remember how the Re-velope all came together exactly though. But one week I was making crazy envelopes out of sailcloth with applique hippie flowers and flames, the next I was painting them, and then this week I made them all into infinitely reusable envelopes! I think somebody asked me if they could be resent. And that got me to thinking, because they could of course have been resent before, even without the little window on front, but I wanted to make it easy and practical… So I went for a bike ride, and came back with the idea for the first generation orginal Re-velope.
Re-velope is the revolution of the envelope:
It isn’t just a sweet looking envelope that you send once to somebody you want to feel really special. Its a sweet looking envelope that can be sent over and over and over. The specialness can be passed on in a chain of special feel good vibes delivered by the USPS.
How it works:
The re-velope is stitched together sailcloth material. It is sealed with double sided sticky tape and if you wanted to, you could stitch it closed for extra security. The original re-velope has a window on the front with a slit in the back where you slide in a piece of paper with the address and return address. Stamps go on the front, as normal, and you can either peel them off or stick more on top for the next time around. Unless you write a really long letter, pages and pages long, one 42 cent stamp is still sufficient for mailing one of these babies.
