Hi guys, Ive seen this question asked before but the answer didnt get answered. sorry if the answer is somewhere I didnt see.

I have a guy wanting a wallet with slit pocket slots like shown below. I dont understand how they work. what keeps the top cards from sliding down too far. with stacked card slots, you can fix each layer so that the card slides down only how far you want it, but with a single layer, i dont see how that would work.

If someone can explain how that works i would appreciate it. i would hate to turn the guy down but i dont want to make something that is not functional.

It's usually a single piece of either fabric, ribbon, Tyvek that's folded up in an accordion. Put it over the back of the top slot, fold it over and up to the second slot, and so on so that the fold is what holds the card in place. Ribbon and Tyvek will last longer than fabric.

nice, that makes sense. thanks man you always answer my questions pretty quickly.

do you need to glue the material to the bottom lip of each slot so that when you go to put the card in, it doesnt miss the fold and slide down to the next one down or to the bottom?

this is actually a pretty cool design. i dont like the idea of using these other materials though.

Thanks for asking this, I'd wondered too :) Hadn't really thought of fabric, I'm not a big fan of working with it :P but this I might try.

Kind regards, Raven

Yep, you can stitch it on there as well. I haven't done it myself because I have it in my head that a "leather" wallet should be leather. But, many of the legends do it. Peter Main is actually the one who suggested wide ribbon with contact cement holding it in. Remember, there should also be a "liner" behind it for whatever cash pocket that's there, which will also hold everything in place and hide the ribbon.

I've used cloth for slots before. But I stich each slot into place on the face of the leather. Rob
