I decided to document my process for making a hand stitched wallet a few nights ago. This is a fully handstitched 6 slot, 2 hidden slot custom bifold made from Clayton Navy Shell Cordovan and European Medium Brown Baby Calf. Just a warning, the album *is* 104 images in total... so I really do go into every single step.

Where do you get your shell cordovan?

Looks like you ended up with the navy hide I was looking at getting last fall...

Clayton & Sons for this particular shell.

What is the weight of that leather?

Exterior is around 4.5 oz. Interior is around 1.5 oz.

Nice work. What's your SPI? Looks like about 6. I'd bump it up a little, 8 or 9.

This is 6 SPI chosen by the customer. I can do 8 as well. They wanted a more casual look.

I figured it was clayton, but I was asking where you buy it from...you don't buy it directly from Clayton do you?

Nice tutorial.

Unless there is a special white "bees wax", I would guess you used "paraffin wax" which gives a higher gloss.
