Press Release Body = High-tech Tyvek®

This wallet is made from one sheet of high tech tyvek. Tyvek looks like paper but it
is actually made of thousands of long plastic fibers that interlock in random
patterns creating a surface that is virtually indestructible yet thin, lightweight
and is actually lighter than water.

Tear and Water resistant

Since stitching is always the first thing that rips in any wallet Terrence Kelleman
designed this wallet without stitches from one single sheet. Tyvek is also water
resistant which protects against the humidity in your pocket which softens and
destroys most leather wallets.

Expandable
The wallet starts very thin but will expand as you fill it. It is designed to grow
with use but not stretch or tear. As the tyvek wears in it will get soft and patina
but not break.

Stealthy storage

Not only is the tyvek wallet discrete it also has a secret storage area you can use
to keep some contents out of sight from roaming eyes. There are eight clever styles
available (See Styles).



Green design

Tyvek is a grade 2 recyclable HDPE and is made from 25% post-consumer content making
it a green product that can be recycled after many years of use.



Super paper
Tyvek is half as light as paper but incredibly tear-resistant. If you\'ve ever
received an express mail envelope and tried to tear it open then you know just how
tough tyvek really is.





STYLES

The tyvek is printed with different designs that play off the idea of a paper wallet.

Leatherette Wallet - Raw Hide HDPE

No animals were harmed in the production of our \"Raw Hide\" take on the standard
leather wallet. Using the inherent variances in the ink saturation as a way of
simply imitating the patterns and creases in natural leather, this classic look
still keep's them guessing when they see how thin it is.

Tyvek history
\"The fiber used in Tyvek was discovered in 1955. A DuPont researcher named Jim White
noticed an unusual, stringy material leaking from a pipe used for transporting
polyethylene polymers. While most extruded fibers were individual strands, the
polyethylene fibers separated and came back together in a highly resilient web. The
strong and light polyethylene structure kicked off a 12-year quest to create a
commercially viable extrusion process - and a decades-long struggle for DuPont to
figure out its potential. The nonwoven was initially tried as book-cover and
furniture-tag material. There was talk of using it for wallpaper and for wrapping
bedsprings. By 1970, single-use Tyvek protective suits were for sale, and in 1975,
Federal Express started making envelopes of Tyvek. Car covers and weatherproofing
for buildings followed.\"[1]



Tyvek® is a brand of spun bonded olefin, a synthetic material made of high-density
polyethylene fibers; the name is a registered trademark of the DuPont Company
