KingsCountyLeather Report post Posted November 23, 2017 I purchased a goat skin recently and this is my first attempt at making a wallet with chrome tanned leather. I will keep this wallet for myself, it is a very soft leather and we’ll see how well it wares in my pocket... Any comments and criticism are welcome!

thefanninator Report post Posted November 23, 2017 Nice work. I can't quite tell but on the exterior there appears to be a stitching groove. I'd go without the groove (if there is one) and a little thinner thread. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did try to add a second creaser mark on the inside of the thread but I only have a Tandy type one at the moment and its too blunt so it looks like I grooved it. The thread is an 8mm tiger thread and I agree its too chunky. What thread would you recommend? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thefanninator Report post Posted November 23, 2017 Fil au Chinois is the expensive stuff size 532 or 632. A little more affordable is Amy Roke L55 or L45 Tandy is now selling some thinner hemp thread. It's .55 mm. I haven't used this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rodneywt1180b Report post Posted November 23, 2017 Beautiful wallet. I actually like the thread. I like the looks of the leather you chose too. Tiger thread also comes in .6 mm if you like working with it. Rodney Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
