Wallet making help.

[Blitz Thunderlungs]

So, I want to get into wallet making. My plan is an 8 oz veg tan outside that I tool. What is a good cheap (Not Genuine leather) thin leather to cut the individual card pockets and interior of the wallet out of. Want thin so the wallet can close easily. Basically I don't understand all the leather cuts and terms. What's the cheap thin cut of chrome tan, or is there something better I should use? (asking all you wallet makers out there.)

Kangaroo is probably the best, but expensive.

I use 2oz vegtan leather for my card pockets.

8oz is pretty think for a wallet. 

 I would go with 5oz, it will still tool but you'll have to use a lighter hand. For the interior I use either 2/3oz vegtan or English bridle.

 

When tooling remember to use blue painters tape on the flesh side so help minimize stretching.
