Thank you for taking the time to put the Capone through the wringer. I appreciate the thoughtful and thorough review! One quick note on our money clip hardware: Indeed it is a premium spring bar however it does still screw together. I mention this because sometimes people unscrew their spring bars and it dramatically reduces the tension. For anyone who picks up a Capone: The money clip ought to hold even a single bill firmly in place. If the clip isn't holding it well then you need to tighten together the two pieces of the spring bar to get the maximum tension. Thanks again for supporting us, Mark. It means a lot. -Phil

So... the clip getting the way of card access is a problem or isn't? I didn't 100% follow that part. It seemed you said at least the clip positioning makes it so the cash isn't difficult, but card access is still impeded (?) Comparing the Mitchell -- where since the cards are pulled out of the top, card acess isn't at all a problem, for example. But this one has it arranged so internal cards won't fall out if the inner pockets are stretched. It's an interesting little comparison. I like that this one is a bit smaller... and of courser if you're willing to pay for it, there are all those shell options that Ashland always offers.

I just replaced my Anson Calder Card Wallet with the cash pocket with a Capone. I haven’t had a problem with the money clip. I did receive excellent customer service from Ashland Leather. The only issue I have is caused by me. Sometimes I carry my phone and wallet in the same pocket. The phone will slide inside the wallet and crumpled up my money.

This was the latest one I got from them for my collection in Western print Shell Cordovan. Truly epic wallet BUT the clip itself is not. I agree with Ahmed below, the MMCW clip is how it should be done. IF the Capone had a clip like the MMCW then it would be the boss. 😃👍🏻

@@BigTwinkle - yes for sure it does. I used mine for years with the larger notes. It’s a superb wallet. Just remember that it is leather, so how you start with the cards is how it will stretch out. In one of the upper back pockets I had a work door card which stretched that pocket out, so now I have to fill it with a few cards so they don’t fall out. Am thinking of getting a new one myself! 👍🏻🙂 Use the hell out of it and enjoy!

@@assordante2205 I don't have a problem with it. The cordovan itself is what's incredible and reverse cordovan seems to be a new trend, featuring the genuine Horween stamp or measurements adds that little extra special something. Eventually oils penetrate fully and the stamp is no more. It's so hard for most shops to get pieces of shell as it is, and I'm guessing Ashland get's first pick as it seems like 90% of their wallets feature the stamp. Personally, I love a well positioned stamp and have a few really choice pieces featuring it, but I'm a Horween fanboy.
