Hand-Tooled Rider Skull Cowhide Long Wallet with Red Stingray Inlay
SKU: 2512
A full skull face covers the front of this black long wallet. Red stingray beads fill both eye sockets, the nose and cheekbones, and each space along the jaw. One eye socket holds the pale, pink-tinged pearl section of the hide. Antiqued floral carving surrounds the skull, and the cranium continues over the spine. The Hand-Tooled Rider Skull Cowhide Long Wallet is a 4″ × 8″ trucker-format wallet in 3–4 mm cowhide. A .925 sterling silver chain grommet is positioned at the spine.
Who This Is Actually For
If you want red across the whole skull — every opening in the face is backed with red stingray, from the brow down to the jaw. Best for anyone who wants the color to define the entire composition.
If you carry a full set of cards and cash — the 4″ × 8″ body holds ten card slots and three bill compartments. A zippered coin pocket handles change, and US bills lie completely flat.
If you ride with a chain — the sterling silver grommet sits at the top of the spine, ready for a clip. Best for traditional back-pocket carry, with the chain connected to a belt loop.
What It's Like to Carry (The Honest Take)
The carving is cut approximately 2 mm deep into the cowhide. A gray-brown antique wash catches the raised edges, while the recesses stay black, so every flower and scroll reads in relief. Small beaded flower centers repeat throughout the surrounding decoration.
The stingray sits below the carved surface, inside beveled openings. Its red beads appear slightly paler on their rounded tops. Thick white thread is laced in zigzags around each opening and continues around the entire perimeter. Where two openings sit close together, those stitches cross the narrow bone between them.
The back is mostly floral carving, with large flowers and scrolls, while the edge of the skull's cranium wraps around from the spine. A carved strap fastens across the opening edge, decorated with its own tooled flower. Its silver-tone concho is engraved with a radiating floral pattern, and the snap socket sits on the strap's underside.
Inside, the leather is smooth black, with card slots across the upper panel and a zipper along the lower one. The grommet's metal ring is also visible on the inside at the spine. Closed, the stacked interior layers appear as several black lines along the bottom edge.
The gray stingray skull wallet in this range sets stingray into only half of its face. This one fills both sides with red, which makes the skull register as one continuous shape from a distance.

Questions You're Probably Asking
What is a trucker wallet?
A long bifold built for back-pocket carry with a chain. This one follows that format: 4″ × 8″ closed, a snap strap across the opening edge and a .925 sterling silver grommet at the spine. The long body lets US bills lie flat in its three compartments, beside ten card slots.
How does it compare with the natural tan skull wallet?
Mainly in color. That wallet carves its skull into pale natural cowhide, surrounded by floral tooling, with red stingray set into it. This one is black with an antiqued finish. Both are 4″ × 8″ long wallets with ten card slots, three bill compartments and a zippered coin pocket.
How does it differ from the phantom skull wallet?
In how much of the face is red. The phantom skull fills one half of its skull with red stingray and leaves the other half as carved black leather. On this wallet, red stingray backs every opening across the whole face. Both measure 4″ × 8″ closed and carry a sterling silver grommet.
