Members rusticbob Posted April 24, 2015 Members Report Posted April 24, 2015 I'm new to leather working, about four months. It has been incredible finding this website, the knowledge and helpfulness of subscribers is priceless. I want to make a wallet for my younger brother for his birthday. He uses a ti-fold, full size now, lots of cards slots, (think George Castanza from Seinfeld)! I am not sure which thickness leather, and does anyone have a template they would be willing to share? Thanks in advance. Quote
Members doe Posted April 24, 2015 Members Report Posted April 24, 2015 Here is a pattern for you. In the thread there are also images from someone who made the wallet. http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=59038 Quote
Members Halitech Posted April 24, 2015 Members Report Posted April 24, 2015 tboyce uploaded this pattern http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=59038 I would use 4-5oz for the outside and 2-3 for the insides myself Quote
Members grmnsplx Posted April 24, 2015 Members Report Posted April 24, 2015 tboyce uploaded this pattern http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=59038 I would use 4-5oz for the outside and 2-3 for the insides myself That's way too thick. Each vertical section has four layers of leather. so that's 12 layers when folded up. In that thread, someone tries 1-2 oz leather and it was quick thick. Quote
Members jrny4wrd Posted December 29, 2015 Members Report Posted December 29, 2015 A pattern for a typical tri-fold seems impossible to find. Even just the inside vs. back sizing. Im making one now. After they finally ship the leather I will work out the open length difference. Insides already made. Quote

Members Dwight Posted January 1, 2016 Members Report Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) Here is a trifold idea that I did some time back. Guy had a billfold like this, . . . his daughter bought him 30 years ago, . . . it was falling apart. This is my practice workup piece, . . . can't find pics of the final one, . . . but this shows the general idea of it. Pretty simple, . . . back, . . . two insert pieces, . . . one fold over piece, . . . bill holder, . . . done. May God bless, Dwight Edited January 1, 2016 by Dwight Quote
