The MK1 Natural Waxy is the definitive choice for those who appreciate the raw, tactile evolution of high-end leather. Using a slightly lighter 3oz Badalassi Carlo Waxy leather, this edition offers a slimmed-down profile without compromising the legendary "pull-up" character that makes Italian vegetable-tan famous.
100% Badalassi Carlo Waxy (Italy): This 3oz leather is precision-milled and heavily infused with oils and tallow. It features a rugged, matte surface that is incredibly responsive to touch.
Dynamic Pull-Up: The "Waxy" finish is engineered to shift color with movement. When the leather is flexed or handled, the internal oils migrate, creating a beautiful marbled effect of lighter honey tones against a deeper tobacco base.
Non-Waxed Braided Thread: Hand-stitched with a premium matte thread. The absence of wax on the thread ensures a clean, modern stitch line that won't attract pocket lint or dull over time.
Glass-Smooth Edges: Despite the rustic grain, the edges are meticulously hand-sanded and burnished to a natural, high-gloss finish.
Dimensions (Closed): 3.125" W x 4.25" H
Profile Thickness: ~0.35" (Optimized for front-pocket carry)
Weight: 3oz leather construction (approx. 1.2mm per layer)
Construction: 100% Hand-Saddle Stitched. Unlike machine-stitched wallets, this weave will never unravel even if a stitch is damaged.
Capacity: 4 card slots + 1 thumb-slide ID window.
Signature Branding: The Schaefer Atelier "Small Batch" hallmark is deep-etched into the ID window.
The 3oz Natural Waxy is a "living" leather. Within the first few weeks of carry, the friction of your pocket will polish the matte surface into a rich, glass-like amber patina. This wallet is designed to age faster and more dramatically than almost any other leather in the collection.
