I just had some cutting dies made few months ago for the main pannels...some 6in /8in ,8in/8in rectangulars with round corners. The inside slits for the pockets , zipper and so on are done by hand. .For the add-on pieces i use regular round punches, end-strap punches and few "home-made" ones to achive whatever design . Sometimes it's just "free-hand"cutting...lol...

For the tab you see on the long wallet, i used a 1.75in english point punch for the tips

Thanks !

Great designs and fabulous attention to detail. Really, really nice.

I really like the designs and your attention to detail. Curious about a couple of things .... are the slits, simply slits with no separate liners for each of them? Also is the stitching for decorative purposes only?

Each slit has it's own pocket ("bag") to stop the card from sliding all the way down...hence the stitching...and are made out of linning fabric . The only slit that doesn;t have that is the bottom one.I also used pig skin as liner to cover the card pockets on the back so the large pocket can be properly used

Somebody posted here a drawing of how the pockets are put together.

Very clean work! If you have had dies made, does that mean that you have something like a 3-ton press for punching out the pieces? Your stitching is so clean, do you also have a sewing machine?

Thanks! I rent a 25 ton press by the hour and i do have few sewing machines. I think i mentioned in my previous posts the machines i am using for sewing and also the thread used.

This is a 7in long biker wallet I just finished today. A bit different than my other wallets but pretty much same idea. There are 11 card pockets, 2 large bill pockets and a change zippered pocket. The wallets is made out on natural veg-tan, 4-5oz and air brushed...I still need some more practice but I am happy with the outcome. Pockets are stitched with #138 and the outside with #207 . Any suggestions and comments are more then welcome . Thanks !

They were done here in a local shop "Economy Dies"

Here is another 7in long wallet. I just use mink oil on this one and left it out in the sun for few good hours and it darken more then I was expecting. The outside stitching is done with the Cowboy CB4500 using #135 bonded nylon .

How do you get that dull, waxy flat finish? These are great wallets! I am envious of your skills!
