Why Buy A Dreadnought Leather Wallet

I could tell you all about what goes into making even a simple bifold wallet, but it's easier if I just show you. Enjoy some quiet leather workshop sounds with no music and no talking.

About The Maker

My name is Wyatt Moadus, and I'd like to be your maker.

For most of my adult life, I was a car painter. My family owned and operated an independent paint shop since the 90's and there I learned how to manage and run a business.

At my wife's suggestion, I started leatherworking as a hobbyist in early 2016. By the end of that year I was selling wallets online and in person at local maker's markets and shows. I spent the next six years honing my technical skills and growing my business organically.

In 2022 I made a big decision to pursue leatherwork as a full time career; it is a blessing to get to do what I love every single day from the comfort of my own workshop.

When I am not at the workbench I enjoy writing, collecting and restoring antiques (typewriters, as of late) and enjoying the many things the greater Youngstown area has to offer.

Customer Testimonials

"In the past 2 years my Dreadnought Leather wallet has been with me to see the bottom of an oil pipeline trench, nuclear power plants, ship boilers, skyscrapers and every piece of American back road in between. At this point, I'm fairly certain it's going to outlast me."
- Rob, Charleston SC

"I couldn't be more happy with my Dreadnought bifold. The leather is beautiful. The stitching is very neat and compliments the leather color. After six months of hard use it is still looking wonderful. I smile every time I pull it out."
- Jason, Charlotte NC

"My son gave your handmade wallets as gifts to myself and his two brothers this Christmas. I’m sure you know you make a high quality product, but I wanted to let you know that it’s the finest wallet I’ve ever owned."
- JW

"Over a year ago, I received the perfect gift of a Dreadnought bifold. Until that time, I had never owned such an exceptionally well-crafted and durable wallet. Every day, I enjoy the beauty and functionality of Wyatt’s craftsmanship, because of my daughter’s thoughtfulness."
- Dr. Data, Richmond, VA

"I have the privilege of owning a Dreadnought Leather wallet - a variant of the British Racing Green bifold Mr. Moadus was kind enough to customize to fit my specifications. Mr. Moadus was professional and prompt in all our communications, and his craftsmanship is exceptional.

You absolutely cannot go wrong with a Dreadnought Leather product."
- Simon, London England

"Purchased my first Dreadnought 2 pocket card wallet in May of 2016 and am still in love with it. Not a loose stitch on it and it's getting just the right, broken in, bomber jacket look to it. Always feel a little pride when I take it out to make a purchase. I was just gifted another Dreadnought card wallet of black walnut calfskin with a tanning date of May 1969 on it. Very cool indeed. Saving it for special occasions because I just cant bear to be without my original right now.

Thank you Wyatt, your craftsmanship is outstanding."
- Tim, Natick MA

"The best wallet I could ever find, very well presented box, then I tried with all my items and fits perfectly, slimmer than I thought. The leather feels amazing, the finishes much better than Coach and Montblanc wallets (And believe me, I have them both). Mr. Wyatt Moadus, surely you made a great job with this wallet, I salute you Sir! My best review ever!" 
- Ben, Mexico City

"I received my wallet late yesterday afternoon and could not be any happier with my purchase. It looks even better in person and am sure it will continue to gain additional character with regular use. I have searched for a considerable amount of time for a sleek, sophisticated and functional design such as yours. I don't remember exactly how I came across the Dreadnought website, but am glad I did. "
