Japanese Style 3/4 Size Long Wallet

[tossik]

Made my first Japanese wallet over the weekend and wanted to share the final product with everyone. Around 70% of this wallet was hand stitched using saddle stitching with .6mm tan tiger thread. Parts of the inside were stitched using a sewing machine.

This wallet has 6 card compartments, 3 bill compartments and a coin pocket.

I have used a number of different high quality leathers for this project, including:

- Natural Horween Chromexcel Horse Butt for the front cover. This will age and darken beautifuly with use.
- Alligator Skin Aged Brown for the front accent and chain holder
- Natural Tan Pigskin - Inside wallet lining
- Full-grain Hermann Oak Vegetable Tanned leather - Inside components
- YKK brass zipper
- Indian Head Concho

As this was my first (big) wallet I have ever done, so for me the project took around 3-4 hours or templating and around 12 hours to make. Edges of the leather were left untreated (sanded only) per request.

Hope you guys like it
