How do I clean and care for a leather wallet?
For full-grain Crazy Horse leather, dust with a dry microfiber cloth; for light marks, use a barely damp cloth and dry immediately. Condition 2–3 times per year with our Afon Yukon Leather Conditioning Kit: apply a small amount, test on a hidden spot, work it in evenly, then buff lightly. Avoid soaking, soaps, alcohol, or baby wipes, silicone sprays, and direct heat or sun. If the wallet gets wet, blot, reshape, and air dry. Minor scratches usually blend when you rub them with a clean fingertip, as the natural waxes redistribute.
What is the Alatna Leather Checkbook Cover Wallet made of?
It’s crafted from full-grain cowhide crazy horse leather and handcrafted for long-term daily use.
What are the dimensions?
3.5" × 6.9" × 0.4" (9 × 17.5 × 1.5 cm), 0.17 lbs (0.08 kg).
What fits inside (checkbook and register)?
It includes two large pockets sized for a checkbook and a transaction register, with additional space for cash.
How many card slots does it have?
It has slots for 5 cards plus a laminated easy-access ID slot (6 total card/ID positions), and a pen holder.
Does it protect the magnetic strips?
The card slots are unlined, full-grain leather. Leather will not demagnetize your cards; demagnetization comes from strong magnets, not the pocket material.
Does it have an extra pocket for coins or receipts?
Yes. A third pocket is described for cash, coins, or extra cards.
Does it have space for a pen?
Yes. Alatna includes an internal pen loop sized for slim pens. Standard ballpoint and most gel pens fit comfortably; oversized fountain pens or rubber-grip models may be too thick.
Can I use this as my everyday wallet?
Yes. It is designed as a hybrid checkbook wallet. Unlike basic plastic covers, the Alatna features 5 credit card slots, a transparent ID window, and space for cash, allowing you to carry everything you need in one stylish leather accessory.
Will the leather scratch my cards?
The card slots are unlined, full-grain leather. Leather will not demagnetize magnetic stripes; wear typically comes from grit and overstuffing. We finish pockets with smooth, burnished edges to reduce friction. Insert cards with the stripe facing inward, avoid overfilling, and keep the interior free of debris.
Is the Alatna wallet bulky?
Not at all. We designed it to be as slim as possible, with a profile of just 0.4 inches (1.5 cm). It slides easily into a suit jacket pocket, a laptop bag, or a purse without adding unnecessary bulk.
Who is the Alatna wallet good for?
The Alatna is a perfect gift for business owners, professionals, or anyone who appreciates the classic art of writing checks. Its timeless, rustic look makes it a popular choice for Father's Day or corporate gifting.
Is crazy horse leather water-resistant?
Yes, the wax treatment is described as creating a water-resistant leather surface for everyday use.
How do I remove light scratches on crazy horse leather?
Buff with a soft dry cloth in circular motion to redistribute wax; for deeper marks, use leather wax sparingly.
Where is the leather sourced from?
Yukon states it exclusively purchases hides from LWG Gold Certified tanneries (environmental best-practice standard).
Can I monogram the Alatna wallet?
Yes, monogramming is offered with a 12-character limit and font options (Lobster, Kalam, Ubuntu, Oswald, Rockwell).
Is personalization available for bulk or corporate gifts?
Yes, we offer bulk personalization (names, initials, logos). Contact us for options.
Where are your wallets made? Are they handcrafted?
Each wallet is handcrafted in Türkiye (Turkey) by skilled leather artisans using traditional techniques and modern quality control.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, your wallet is covered by a 1-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship (stitching, hardware, zipper, lining)

Caring for Your Crazy Horse Leather Bag - Crazy Horse Leather Care Guide
We are proud of the quality and craftsmanship of our bags. Every Yukon bag is designed to be tough enough to survive even the most rugged terrains while retaining their timeless beauty. Each bag must undergo a special process to earn the status of the Crazy Horse label. Bumps, bangs, and scratches intensify the bag’s vintage look and beauty. The quality craftsmanship allows the bag to carry a heavy load while still retaining shape. With proper care, your Yukon bag will hold up to decades of service.
IF YOUR YUKON CRAZY HORSE LEATHER BAG GETS WET:
- Simply wipe dry with a soft leather cloth.
- Do not store your bag while wet.
- Wipe off any moisture before storing to prevent mold or mildew.
- After drying bag: Hang to dry or turn bag inside-out.
- Do not use a hairdryer or any type of heat to dry your bag. Applying heat can cause the leather to crack or harden.
FOR SPILLS:
- Wipe spills off with a slightly dampened cloth.
- Do NOT use detergents or cleansers on your Crazy Horse leather bag – this will discolor the leather and can destroy the beauty of the bag.
- If necessary: Use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub away any stains.
Yukon Crazy Horse leather bags are designed to take a beating and still retain their luxurious antique leather look. Scratches and bumps help to increase the beauty of the bag and add to its unique vintage look.
TO ELIMINATE UNWANTED SCRATCHES:
- Using a soft dry cloth – rub scratch in a circular motion to redistribute wax coating.
- For a deep scratch - leather wax can be applied to bring the leather back to its previous condition.
- Leather cream or wax should be applied periodically to preserve softness and luster.
SPECIAL CARE FOR YOUR YUKON CRAZY HORSE LEATHER BAG:
Your Yukon Crazy Horse leather bag can last a lifetime when properly cared for. Each bag has been designed to age beautifully – as it is 100% natural cowhide, the leather will change hue with every scratch and bump, adding to the striking vintage look our bags are famous for. This ability to change hue and retain the stunning antique luster is exclusive to Crazy Horse leather bags. Wear and tear will increase the bag’s beauty - however, we recommend periodically treating your bag with leather cream or wax to preserve its softness and sheen.
To ensure your bag’s ability to retain its shape, luster, and beauty for a lifetime of use we recommend:
TO AVOID STRETCHING THE LEATHER:
- Limit the number of items stored in the bag over long periods.
- Limit storing heavy items for long periods.
- Avoid over-stuffing pockets.
TO KEEP YOUR CRAZY HORSE LEATHER SOFT AND SUPPLE:
- TEST a small patch before coating entire bag. Some products can change the color of the leather.
- Apply a THIN, even layer of leather balm or leather wax to your bag with a soft, clean sponge.
- Wipe off any excess balm (or wax) with a soft, dry, leather cloth.
We strongly recommend periodically treating your Yukon Bag to a coating of leather balm or wax to prevent the leather from becoming dry or cracked.
Caution: Overuse of products designed to keep leather soft can result in too much softening and may result in the bag losing its shape.
STORING YOUR CRAZY HOUSE LEATHER BAG:
- Protect your Yukon bag by storing it in a clean, dry space.
- Wipe away any moisture before storing your bag.
- Be sure the bag is completely DRY before storing it.
- For optimal results in maintaining the bag’s shape – empty bag before storing.
- For long periods of storage, we recommend keeping the bag in a soft cotton pillowcase. This will prevent discoloration from dust or infestation by insects (always check for them after a hike!).
- If you plan for your bag to stay in storage for an extended length of time, inspect it every 3-4 weeks. If you store the bag without emptying it first, check every 1-2 weeks to avoid stretching or mold.
We designed Yukon bags with durability, functionality, and beauty in mind. Our craftsmanship and materials are of the highest quality. Please follow our recommended care guide to keep your Crazy Horse leather bag in optimal condition, year after year. With proper care, your Yukon bag will last for decades of use.
