Willow Run Trifold Wallet
As sleek and slim as a well-designed aircraft.
Our Willow Run wallet is crafted with buttery soft, upcycled automotive steering wheel leather. It’s not only durable, it takes on a magnificent patina with use and age. Much like the Greatest Generation, who inspired it.
Our minimalist take on a classic style tri-fold wallet includes three card slots that each hold 4-5 cards. Suede lined cash pouch. Hand edge painted and embossed with the Pingree Detroit logo for a wallet as dynamic as the place it was named after.

OUR PURPOSE
Why the Name: The "Willow Run" Airport story
Some say Willow Run won the war. During World War II, few accomplished what the Willow Run factory in Ypsilanti, Michigan was able to do in such a short and critical time. Albert Kahn designed the first bomber assembly plant of its kind, which was built by the Ford Motor Company in 1940. Nearly 8,700 B-24 Liberator airplanes were made here, one every 63 minutes. And during its peak production, Willow Run (aka the Arsenal of Democracy) employed 42,000 people including "Rosie the Riveter.” In fact, one third of the workforce was female!
As a team of veterans and Detroiters who live not far from this iconic place, we're proud to celebrate the people and hard work that both served and lifted this country.
*The leather used on your wallet will have a texture and shade of color that may vary slightly from the leather pictured and may exhibit natural imperfections since your wallet is crafted with small batch leather reclaimed from the production of new cars.
Customer Reviews
Willow Run Trifold Wallet
love the customer service and product
While I like the wallet material and design, the actually cut of the leather looks kind of odd with a small upturn on the corner.
This wallet fits into narrow pockets very well. The wallet appears to be well made, and it didn't smell (as some of the ones you see on Amazon sometimes do). That said, it's important to note that the wallet takes a week or two to stretch. Initially it will not close well while lying flat--give it some time, carry it in a back pocket, and soon it will close normally.
This wallet is awesome. Great quality and amazing customer service!
