Skull Carved Brown Leather Long Trifold Biker Wallet
SKU: 2673
Stippling sits on the skull itself here, not on the background behind it. A shading tool pitted the bone until it reads porous, and the tribal vines running through the eye socket stay smooth and sharp-cut by contrast. The skull faces right with its mouth open, filling the front panel of this long trifold wallet. The back panel is left completely plain.
Who This Is Actually For
If you run a wallet chain — a .925 sterling silver grommet is punched through a corner of the front panel, already reinforced and ready for a clip. No drilling, no aftermarket hardware. Best for riders who want the wallet tethered before it ever leaves the garage.
If a bifold keeps running out of slots — eight card slots sit in two rows of four, split across separate interior panels. Full-length bill compartments run behind them. Best for card-heavy carry that still has to close flat.
If coins and keys end up loose — a zip pocket runs across the top of the middle panel with a silver-tone pull. It closes over change, a spare key or a folded emergency bill, so nothing rattles out when the wallet opens.
What It Is Like to Carry (The Honest Take)
Two textures share the front panel and they do not look alike. The skull is pitted all over, the way weathered bone goes. The vines twisting around it were cut with a swivel knife and left smooth, so light slides off them while it catches in every dimple on the skull.
Around the whole perimeter runs a dark burgundy thread. It only registers up close against the brown hide, and the edges beside it are burnished down to a hard, rounded finish rather than left raw.
Three panels stack when this one folds, which is the trade you make for a trifold. It carries more than a long bifold of the same footprint and it sits thicker at the fold. Out of the box the hide is stiff. Give it a week or two of daily carry before the folds relax and the whole thing starts sitting flatter against you.
Heads up: the carving is on the front panel only — the back is plain leather with nothing on it. The artwork shows on one face only, whichever way the wallet lands in your pocket.
The Specs — And What They Actually Mean
- ⚙️ Leather: vegetable-tanned cowhide — the tannage that holds a deep cut. It is also why the brown keeps deepening with handling.
- 💎 Carving: skull and tribal vines in raised relief, roughly 2mm deep. The skull surface is stippled for a bone texture.
- 📏 Size: 4" x 7 3/4" long trifold — bills lie flat inside with no second fold.
- 💳 Card layout: eight slots in two rows of four on separate panels, with full-length bill compartments behind them and a zip pocket across the middle panel.
- 🔧 Closure: a snap strap folding over from the back, set with a silver-tone concho and a raised gold-tone five-point star.
- 🛡️ Chain point: a .925 sterling silver grommet through a corner of the front panel — the anchor for a chain clip.
Questions You're Probably Asking
Is this a bifold or a trifold? A trifold. Three panels fold onto each other, and the card rows sit on two of them with the zip pocket on the middle one. Closed, it takes up roughly a third of its open length, which is why it holds more than a long bifold of the same outside size.
What is on the snap closure? A concho. It is a round silver-tone disc with engraved scrollwork around the rim and a raised gold-tone five-point star set in the center. The concho sits on a strap that folds over from the back panel and snaps shut on the front.
Is the back of the wallet carved too? No. All of the carving is on the front panel — skull, vines and stippling. The back is plain brown leather, stitched in the same burgundy thread and burnished at the edges, with the chain grommet punched through a corner.
What gives the skull its rough texture? A shading tool, worked over the raised bone after the outline was cut. It leaves thousands of small dimples that scatter light instead of reflecting it. The vines around the skull were left smooth on purpose, so the two surfaces read differently under the same light.
