Simple Wallet

[MADMAX22]

Well here is a simple wallet I made. Similer pattern that I used before and changed just a couple of things. No tooling just laced. Back is about 5oz, inside is kip or calf, lined with pigskin. Dyed saddle tan, oiled and sealed.

Missed one of my holes somehow in the upper left corner, not sure how I did that lol.

This is for a guy at work, just wanted a plain wallet with nothing on it so see if this will work.

Oh and wanted to show a pic of my wallet that I made probably about 8 months or a year ago (cant remember) but I dyed it with angelus dye and wanted to show how well it wears. It is still almost the same color as when I made it. Seems to be holding pretty well IMO.

That is a nice clean wallet, I really like it. I have just finished my first and did tooling on both sides, but now that I see yours wow.

Nicely done wallets. Sometimes the simple things in life are the greatest.

What can you tell me about the Angelus dye? I found a supplier of it, but would like to know how it compares with Fiebings and Cova.

I have not used the cova dyes yet. I like the pro oil dyes alot and will probably get some more for certain colors. The angelus dyes are pretty darn good though, once they go on you wont get much if any dye coming off when you buff the leather out. The dye seems to soak right in and stay there. Even the black is pretty good at this. They also seem very durable for the most part and I think alot of this is because it penetrates so well. The angelus dyes are definatly worth a try if you have not yet.

Nice and clean, sometimes we forget how nice simple looks. You could not find something as nice and in those colors at a department store.

It looks like the next time I make an order to Springfield Leather that I'll have to order a couple of bottles of that Angelus dye and try it out. I've heard a few people talking about it and how great it was, but that was several years ago.

Cova isn't a bad dye, but it's more along the line of paint than dye. Most of the colors go on with only one covering, but once in awhile you have to go over it with a second coat. Cova, and the Fiebings dye were the only things that Tandy sold (along with their pro dye) those many years ago when I started out in leather.

Its a good dye. The feibings pro oil dye is also very good also and you can get it at Springfeild as well. I would try both of them out and see which you like the best.

Also thanks for the compliments guys.
