The Slim Dixie is the upgrade to a wallet we used to make called "The Big Dixie" which was named after "The Heart of Dixie," Alabama's "unofficial" name. The "Heart of Dixie" started as a public relations campaign launched by the Alabama Chamber of Commerce in the late 1940s. The goal was to eliminate Alabama's generic "cotton state" nickname in favor of something more distinct. A bill was soon passed to brand Alabama license plates with the "Heart of Dixie" slogan, the first of which rolled out in 1955.
The Slim Dixie is just as big and robust as the older Big Dixie, but this wallet is made with even thinner Full Grain Leather which means you can get more out of your wallet with less bulk!
This wallet is handmade at Holtz Leather Co. in Huntsville, Alabama, shop with the finest of Full Grain American leathers. We hand–pick our leather hides from a local tannery for a rustic look and feel. Our leathers can vary in shades due to the way we have our leather tanned (the old-fashioned way).
