  1. Hi, I got some inquiry and hope that someone can give some advice. Soucing for leather hide is quite difficult where I came from. So my best options, I get my supply mostly from eBay, I get them in small sheets of 1 squre feet. Mainly I'm interested to make wallets, card holders, something like that. So want to ask, what thickness is the best in making them? my handmade bifold wallet currently I'm using is 2mm thick (4~5oz maybe?) I lovin it. currently I've found a supplier that have 2oz belly and 7oz hide (which the price cost+shipping are within my budget). I want my handmade wallets/card holders to last and at the same time not that bulky. if I make the whole wallet in 7oz, would it be too heavy? Or can the leather be mixed outer and inner layer? Advice and recommendations are really appreciated. Best regards
