Front Pocket Wallet in Veg Tan
Aari replied to Aari's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
Halitech it's veg tan cow. Turns out that you and Enanez84 are absolutely correct. Even for a front pocket wallet its way too thick. Going to make it out of 4 oz, and I think/hope that will be okay. Or maybe 3 oz.... -
Front Pocket Wallet in Veg Tan

Thanks gentlemen for your ideas!! I'm going to carry it a while to see how it functions. I'm particularly interested in how it will act once broken in. I suspect that I'll end up agreeing that the leather overall is too thick for the design. -

I found when I did that I got an interrupted line, visually, and the thread tended to cut through. -

I have some very nice 3-4 oz red chrome tanned leather. Problem is that it is too soft a temper to make a stand up bag I'm planning. Is it possible to use the 180 degree water method or 180 degree bake method to improve the temper, prior to cutting and sewing, so that it will be a bit firmer?

Thanks bikermutt007 Made this with a round hole punch. Would using a diamond pronger style punch work better? -
