Calf Skin For Trucker's Wallet

[Yudha]

Hi everyone,

Can I use 3 oz European calf skin to make a trucker's wallet?

And is it will be okay if I use the same weight/thickness leather for the inside and outside pockets?

Thank you,

Yudha

sure.

Calf skin is typically pretty soft compared to the same weight skin split from an older, more experienced cow. I guess all those years of hard life toughen them up.

This is 2.5oz calf skin and it's pretty soft and pliable. You can tool it but you won't get crisp and well defined impressions.

Thanks LTC and Joe.

Joe, it is a very nice work. What did you use for the liner?

[JoeSnuffie]

Thank you. It's all 2.5oz calf skin. I order the skin split to 1.75 oz now because that's a much better thickness for the liner.

Thanks again Joe, it is very helpful.
