McJeep Report post Posted December 6, 2011 Quick question Kate - what's your preferred leather weight for the outer cover to allow for some decent tooling? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucifer Report post Posted December 21, 2011 Semi-related question: I'm planning on making myself a basic shoulder bag and part of the design I'm planning on, is to have a zippered back pocket for air-plane tickets and a passport. Suggestions on solid zippers for such use? preferably a brass colored one, since I'll be using brass hardware other places. (Or, are saddleback right in their claim that a zipper will never hold up to enough abuse and should be excluded?) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimbob Report post Posted December 21, 2011 Quick question Kate - what's your preferred leather weight for the outer cover to allow for some decent tooling? McJeep I use 3-4oz veg tan.....works well on tooling and is still enough flexible to be a good outer cover for a biker wallet. I like to use 2-3oz veg tan for inner liner.... Latly I am using lots of chrome tan for liner and inside Pockets..... Greetings James Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2013 Road King Report post Posted September 24, 2012 Sorry for the newbie question & and I do realize this is an older thead but could someone please give some pointers as to how to properly attatch the cover to the liner? Thanks, Ron. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CitizenKate Report post Posted September 24, 2012 Hi Ron, The back half of the cover stitches to the back side of part 5, and the front snaps down to the front of the zipper pouch. Next time I make one, I'll shoot photos that show how the cover attaches. Kate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cbeatti2 Report post Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) Hi. I am working on this biker wallet to try to get into the swing of creating non-kit projects and to see if I can learn how to hand stitch in the straight line I am wondering about the second piece (back of the cover, slightly smaller than the cover piece). Is this piece somewhat optional, to be added if you don't want the backside of the cover to show the flesh side or perhaps to thicken up the cover if using the same weight of leather for the entire piece? I have cut out all parts except for this piece, as the flesh side of the cover is pretty decent and the cover piece is of heavier weight and doesn't need to be any thicker. Thanks, Clark Edited December 11, 2012 by cbeatti2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CitizenKate Report post Posted January 4, 2013 I am wondering about the second piece (back of the cover, slightly smaller than the cover piece). Is this piece somewhat optional, to be added if you don't want the backside of the cover to show the flesh side or perhaps to thicken up the cover if using the same weight of leather for the entire piece? Hi Clark, That is exactly it, the second piece is a liner, and the wallet will function perfectly well without it. Kate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Invasion Report post Posted July 24, 2013 This is great really appreciate the effort you have gone to on this for all of us Will be giving this a go really soon. Would you happen to have dimensions of the parts please ? Can I just ask do zips come in different sizes - length wise -or are the just super long and you cut it to length required ? Thanks again for this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahh ok that's great I might make it a bit deeper for British money as I think it might be a bit to small for uk notes any one else found this ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikec77 Report post Posted October 13, 2013 I was wondering about the pattern- there seems to be 2 pieces for the cover- one with stitches and one with just the snap holes. So it appears to me that there are two covers? I'm sure i missed something..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
