Goat skin wallet

[KingsCountyLeather]

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!

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.

Thanks.

 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?

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.

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.
