So you were probably logging into your Office 365 mail account (mail.office365.com) and wondering what that picture is and where it's located. So you use your detective skills (Mr. Sherlock Holmes) and find the sign that says "Moomat Ahiko." If you're not a local of Southern California, you probably wont know this road. So you google it and viola! Thanks to the power of the internet, you have solved the puzzle.

The Moomat Ahiko is the road sign near Malibu california.

The Sushi Wallet.



The Sushi Wallet is a minimalist, slim wallet made of a 3 inch strip of heavy-duty elastic with a colored trim edge. It holds anywhere from 2-6 cards comfortably (but I'll admit, I cram more than that into mine) and has a cash pocket in the front with a bottom seam to keep your money from slipping through. I've continued to work on prototyping, design and materials to make the Sushi Wallet a high quality product. Since the demand has surpassed what I can handle on my own, I decided I will take the Sushi Wallet to the next level one way or another.

THE AMERICAN WALLET 


1. FUNCTIONALITY: CARD + CASH FRIENDLY.  Finding a wallet that can hold a comfortable number of cards AND cash is similar to finding a unicorn. At IRONTHREAD, we took the idea of impossible and made just that; A minimalist wallet that can hold a little or a lot of cash and a decent amount of cards at the same time!
2. MADE FORM THE BEST MATERIALS ON EARTH: No cost are spared when choosing the materials to make IRONTHREAD wallets. We hand picked a HH leather for the high quality, durablilty, yet soft raw leather feel to construct each wallet. To sew it all together we are using a NOMEX thread, the same thread used by race car drivers, first responders, and others who rely on the quality of their uniform. 
3. HAND MADE: Each wallet is hand cut, and sewn with a machine by an individual that takes pride in crafting a great looking wallet that anyone will be proud to own.
4. BESPOKE: 12 DIFFERENT COLOR OPTIONS. Pick your wallet to match your personality. We took a soft, high-quality leather with 3 color options and combined it with 4 different thread color options to allow you to create your personalized ironthread wallet. 
LEATHER COLOR OPTIONS:    Light Brown - Dark Brown - Black  
THREAD OF IRON COLOR OPTIONS:     Red - White - Blue - Orange
5. USA BUILT: Fashion is more than just a look, it is the quality in a product and the impact it has on our society. Every IRONTHREAD wallet purchased makes a direct impact  by creating U.S. jobs by employing highly skilled leather workers in downtown Los Angeles.


6. SOLD DIRECT: Premium wallets with similar quality can range from $88 - $150. Cheap ones are only a few bucks less. At IRONTHREAD, we cut out the middle man and bring you THE AMERICAN slim wallet at half the cost of a department store.
