McJeep Report post Posted June 2, 2009 I have a couple buddies asking me to do biker style wallets for them. As I'm not a big wallet carrier, I've absolutely no idea of dimensions etc for this style of project. They are wantin the biker/trucker style - elongated with a chain - snap on keeper I think - etc. If anyone has patterns, links to info, etc that they can share it would sure be appreciated. Anything to cut down the learning curve time for me would be great I need to figure out how to make a decent piece without getting into too much lightweight leather and cardholder sewing etc. Thanks peeps!

McJeep Report post Posted June 2, 2009 Cool - might do the same - they're web page is very erratic and let me see stuff the first visit but every other time it tells me there's nothing there LOL I think that the roper style is prob'ly the best suited for a biker wallet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MADMAX22 Report post Posted June 2, 2009 Yeah roper and biker is pretty much the same as far as wallets just depends on who wears it I guess. I linked to a page that after I had done a search on the site. If ya go to the home page and do a search for wallets then they will pop up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those would almossssst be perfect - perfect would be that size, with the two bill slots, but with extra card slots on the right side instead of the little zippered pouch thing.

CitizenKate Report post Posted June 3, 2009 This may help a little... it's not in English, and it's not identical to a biker wallet, but pretty similar. But the pictures really help you see the construction techniques. It helped me figure out how to make a good biker wallet. One day I will post a photo demo with all the fine points to make the pattern I posted earlier, but in the mean time, I hope this helps... http://www.kurokawa96.com/seisaku.htm Kate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DreadPirateRedbeard Report post Posted June 4, 2009 I've found biker wallet kits on eBay for around $20. I'm thinking of going that route and just tooling all of the stuff myself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
