This is an extremely well made item and worth every penny. The leather is high quality and it breaks in without too much effort. Not sure how covert the item is though. Given the youth and lack of worldly knowledge of many of today’s younger police officers, I’m not sure how familiar they would be readily identifying this as a black jack or sap. They might just buy the “change purse” story. The only manufacturing fault I found, and it’s very minor, is the long term quality of the zipper. Time will tell, but this looks like a real winner.

Comfortable to carry and extremely durable. This is a perfect combination of innovation and craftsmanship. I v’e carried mine everyday for the last three weeks and i could not be any happier with the Hot Tamale.

This is an exquisitely-made item. I got one for my brother and I liked it so much I got myself one, and am NOT disappointed. Brilliant design and outstanding execution. I may get others in other leather colors. My brother “loved” it and said it was “perfect” for his use both on the job and off. He doesn’t say that about gifts much. Top it off, delivery was spot-on! We each had ours in-hand within days of ordering! Great job, MGL! Keep it up! Great product, Great service! I’m spreading the word!

Exactly what it is supposed to be. The quality of construction and feel of the Hot Tamale is immediately apparent. Outstanding product! This will now be part of my every day carry…no question!

First of all: great service. MGL corrected an order error (on my part) almost immediately. Ordered on a Wednesday and it arrived 2000+ miles away on Friday. Secondly, the Hot Tamale is probably better than advertized. It certainly looks better in person than online, and I think it looks great online. The quality of the is top-notch, fit, form, function – all great! I’ve been wearing it since it got delivered. Thank you Mean Gene Leather!!

I can put $13 worth of quarters in my Hot Tamale. Just AWESOME! I need a lot more gold coins….

Ingenious product! I purchased one with the intention to give it to my wife while she wait for a CPL but had to go back to the register for another one for myself! Best, less than lethal “coin purse” or any other product in the same realm for that matter. The ergonomics are so simple, I’m kicking my own butt for not thinking of it myself. Useful for BOTH designs it was intended for!

I recently ordered the “Hot Tamale”. I have been carrying it and using it as a coin pouch everyday for the last two weeks. I must say that this is a great item and worth every penny. The zipper is smooth. It doesn’t drag or catch on itself or the leather. The leather is thick, not bulky, but nice thick and solid feeling in my hand. There has been no staining or residue from the leathers finish. I have not seen a single thread ‘pop out’. This thing is very well crafted, with quality materials and a slimplistic design. Now I don’t have to worry about all the loose change in my pocket. THANK YOU Mean Gene for a great item and addition to my EDC (Everyday Carry).

What an excellent and well made product! High quality thick leather filled with quarters easily deployed. I bought one for me and my pops. We both love it. Perfect gift idea!!

You will love it.
Well made high quality product.
It does very good what it is made for, packs a lot of coins and a good punch.
For European customers you can fit 15x € 2,00 euro coins and 20x € 1,00 euro coins in it, and it will get better when the coin purse ages.

Have been carrying mine for a few days now and absolutely love it. Trying to decide what coins are going to give me the most weight. Have nickels in it right now, but I’ve been told I could make it heavier using dimes?
Absolutely the highest quality and outstanding customer service!

It’s absolutely amazing. I send a custom logo and the finish is stunning. The leather and crafting is top quality, thickness, stitching, the YKK zipper…
Thanks a lot, now I know why your wife loved it!

Not just a great product – Mean Gene loves his work!
Joshua Favinger –
Quick shipping and product is exactly as described. Quality looks excellent. With a little finagling I was able to get 2 rolls of quarters in this bad boy….you just have to unwrap and angle them.. Awesome coin purse for meter change and midnight strolls in seedy areas!

Beautiful product! Holds plenty of change. Quick to access and easy to carry. Packs a wallop.

I bought one for myself initially. Great customer service and communication. The item arrived 4 days after I purchased it. It was just perfect! The stitching and leather quality are second to none. I bought 3 more my family members.
