Jimi Wallets for everyone

If you are thinking about getting some sort of a trick, "Super Taaiht" and inexpensive gift this year, check out the Jimi wallets. I have had one for the last 2 years and I love it. I thought that I would only use it for riding, but it has now become my "A" wallet and the Aquascutum is stowed away in my closet somewhere. I typically carry 2 credit cards, my ID, and my now useless USCF cycling license. There is also a small money clip built in. I have the Orange one. My dream gift would be this wallet with some benjamins stuffed inside it.

Previously there were some very heated debates on several forums and blogsites about "Custom Tailored Wallets", like the one shown below. This was created from an Engineer/Cobbler/Professional bicycle racer who lives in Cambridge. Last time I checked, these wallets were going for like $200 at select boutique shops in the South End, but real street value was more like $65.
Although I did not think anything could be as cool as our $250 (140UK pounds or quids) Aquascutum wallets, you cannot use these little nuggets every day and not have it look ratty. Much like a fine set of silk sidewalled tubulars, wallets like that must be saved for occasions that involve the top of the hub or what ever other places wealthy people like to go and talk about pros and cons of gentrification and which Yoga studios they are absolutely smitten about. (Please note that models were used in the picture below, and Spencer and Kenji are not affiliated with Aquascutum or Jimi wallets)
A while ago I promised many of you guys that there will be some sort of coupon code that you can punch in to get a discount to buy a Jimi wallet, so here it is.

Cruise over to http://www.thejimi.com/store/index.php , order the products you want and on the payment page type in "yash" in the coupon code window, and you’ll get a 15% discount.

Yes, I know, the coupon code really is "yash".

I guess that I'm the equivalent of commuting on Dugastic Lews...but ratty indeed.

So how much kickback does Yash get for the coupon?

The beauty of a nice Coach wallet is with use it weathers to a nice patina.
