Black Stingray Leather Cross Biker Wallet — Brass Grommet
SKU: 3900
A cross is cut through the front panel, and black stingray fills the opening behind it. The hide's pearl band lands squarely inside that cut, running as a bright white stripe down the middle. Everything around it is ribbed black leather, framed by braided lacing. The Black Stingray Leather Cross Biker Wallet measures 4⅝″ × 3⅞″ × ¾″, with five card slots and a hidden coin pocket inside.
Who This Is Actually For
If you want one bright detail on a dark wallet — the pearl stripe is the only pale element anywhere on it. Everything else is black on black. Best for riders whose gear stays dark by default.
If you carry genuinely light — five card slots and a hidden coin pocket suit a trimmed set rather than a full deck. The 4⅝″ footprint stays compact even with a chain attached.
If you ride with a chain — the grommet is .925 sterling silver, set to take a clip from day one. Solid silver keeps its edge where a clip rubs instead of wearing through to a base metal the way plating does. Best for anyone who runs a chain daily.
What It's Like to Carry (The Honest Take)
Three black surfaces meet on the front and none feel alike. The body carries a coarse ribbed grain, the appliqué curls around the cross are smooth leather, and the stingray inside is hard and beaded. Only the pearl stripe breaks the color.
Saddle stitching runs through the construction rather than machine stitching. Two needles pass through each hole from opposite sides, which means a broken stitch stays local instead of unzipping along the seam.
The braided edge is worked in the same black leather as the body. It raises the perimeter enough to grip, and it's the part that takes abrasion before any panel does.
At ¾″ deep this is a chunky bifold rather than a slim one. Layered construction and an exotic panel account for most of that, and it's a fair trade for what's on the front.
Heads up: The stingray is the cross, not the wallet. Ribbed cowhide forms the body, the back, and the curls, with exotic hide appearing only inside the cut. If you want a wallet covered in beaded hide, the full-stingray pieces in this range are the ones to look at instead.

Questions You're Probably Asking
Is the grommet solid silver or plated?
Solid .925 sterling silver, the same as the rest of the range. Plated eyelets wear through at the lip where a clip rides, and once base metal shows there is no fixing it. Sterling only darkens with age, and a jeweler's cloth takes it back to bright.
How thick is this wallet?
It measures ¾″ deep as stated, before you put anything in it. That's substantial for a bifold only 4⅝″ across, and it comes from layered construction plus the stingray panel. Expect a visible outline in slim denim regardless of how little you carry.
How much of it is actually stingray?
Only the cross. The beaded hide sits behind a cut opening in the front panel, and everything else across the 2 faces is ribbed leather. It's an exotic detail on a leather wallet rather than an exotic wallet, which is a genuine difference worth being clear about.
Does saddle stitching actually matter?
It does, for one specific reason. Machine stitching uses a single thread looped through itself, so cutting it in 1 place can unravel a whole seam. Saddle stitching passes 2 threads through every hole from opposite sides, meaning a broken stitch stays where it broke.

For beaded hide across every surface rather than inside a cross, the stingray trifold wraps the whole exterior and adds a third panel of slots.
The black lizard wallet with red stingray cross keeps the cross idea but brings in a second exotic hide and a strong color.
Sterling at the wallet leaves the chain free to run warmer — the solid brass dragon claw chain matches its tone. More options sit in the wallet chains range.
