My gf wanted a new wallet. She specified she didn't want the aging effect of veg tan, so I thought I'd use the oil tan burgundy that I have.

But she also said she wants clean burnished edges, so I finally I dug out this italian calf veg tan that I've been keeping. It has been plated at the factory with a coating of leather lacquer, so less fears of aging or staining. Yet, being veg tan, I can still burnish the edges. It also has a very luxurious feel to it.

Nothing new to the design of this wallet, but this is the first time I am doing something with this leather. Very nice to work with I'd say.

I also just got myself some thinner waxed thread which is a joy to saddle stitch with.

Heck of a job!!!!!!

From the sounds of it you hand stitched it all and it looks amazing, as in machine sewn or better. The whole thing just looks great!

I was also going to comment on the stitching. Looks better than most jobs i've seen with a machine! If you don't mind me asking, what brand/size pricking iron do you use? Thanks!!

Amazing job Reddevil, the concho you have complement the wallet very well. And good job on burnishing the sides, must have taken a long time to do so.
