azrider Report post Posted December 11, 2010 I found Kate's pattern for this, and wanted to try it. http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=20414&st=0&p=131942&hl="biker%20wallet%20pattern"&fromsearch=1entry131942 Here's my attempt. Outside is horsehide, inside is 2-3oz cowhide. Montana basketweave pattern. There was quite a bit of handstiching involved in this wallet, and it came out pretty thick empty. As always feedback is welcome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was quite a bit of handstiching involved in this wallet, and it came out pretty thick empty. As always feedback is welcome. Turned out great for the first one, Adam. It functions, and it's going to last you a while. My first one was a total disaster - ha! On my first one I used some of my regular veg-tan that I split down to a little over 3oz, and even that was a little thicker than I wanted it, so now I just use calfskin or goatskin, which I get at around 2-3oz. Good job getting the zipper pouch put together right, and I really like the tooling you chose for it, too. Kate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azrider Report post Posted December 13, 2010 Thanks for the feedback! I actually did this one just to see how it would come out. It came out so well I am going to do one for myself. Great pattern, and a nice wallet. The horse hide is probably about 6oz, and the insides are about 2oz. All veg tan. It should hold up really well.
