Really nice work, there. Had to chuckle, though. Reminds me of that episode of Seinfeld when George had his wallet so full of receipts it was too big to carry in his pocket.

I LOVE this wallet. Totally something I would pick up for myself. Excellent design work - you really thought about practicality, too.

I think you've done a very good job here. Everything is nice and clean. Stitching looks good also.

Sure. I use dye from a company called R.O.C. the dye used for this one is called yellow brow. The strap didnt get atique so on it you can se the base color. Befor i use atique i rubed it with leather fat left it over night to dry. I do this becouse i feal the antique gets much nicer then using it after painting. Then i rubed off the ecces antique with a damp cloth.

After im done i use fat again polish and thats it... i dont like to use anything els... i like the leather to look as natural as posible.

I do use a Nano spray for items that get exposed to the elements like bags and such...
