well... I love this wallet. I have made 2 more as gifts... including one for my girlfriend to give her dad on fathers day. So now I have someone who wants to buy one.. what would you think a fair price for this type of wallet?

I'm so glad you love this wallet! I think you can charge what you would normally charge for any wallet. I mean if you look at the market prices for wallets are just all over the place. Pick something you are comfortable with and don't undervalue yourself!

Finally made one of these with some large scraps I had. Was interested in seeing the ending size and how it would work out in my pocket. I must say that I surprisingly love the size and will be making another. Going to use a better leather and higher stitch count next time. Hasn't been a post in a while but I had to say thank you for posting this pattern / instructions. Even though this was a "rough" version I thought I would post a picture anyways. I'll be using better leather and a higher stitch count next time.

One question on finishing edges. The part between where the stitches end around the edge I had a hard time with. Did you you finish them before you stitched it together?

Thank you for taking the time to post some pictures. The wallet looks great!

Yes you can measure out the distances and then pre-finish those areas as they will be hard to get to later.

I swapped over to long wallets, when I realized I could keep a ink pen (cross thinline) in my wallet, but I quickly realized that long wallets don't get as fat and hard to sit on as regular billfolds. Before I switched, I always had to take my wallet out while driving, which led to me forgetting it in the truck quite a bit. Always embarrassing to have to tell the clerk, wait right here while I go get my wallet.

Joe, neat design.

Do you ever glue linings in on your wallets?

Yup! Here is an example...but a traditional bifold. The next time I make this big ass wallet I'll line the inside for sure!

what glue do you use?
