Members Stetson912 Posted January 4, 2018 Members Report Posted January 4, 2018 Here is another 4 slot wallet. It's the same as the last one I made except I did the edges a bit better and solid down the pocket leather to 2/3oz. The outside is 4/5 horween Essex in parisian blue from nstarleather. The pockets are black veg tan scrap I had from frog jelly. Hand stitched with 0.6 black tiger thread at 8spi I think. I think I finally got the thickness right. Let me know what you think! Thanks Quote
DarkGoku Posted January 4, 2018 Report Posted January 4, 2018 Nice:) Really love your edges and the blue on the flesh side inner pocket!

Members Stetson912 Posted January 4, 2018 Author Members Report Posted January 4, 2018 Thanks. Edges are a little rough in a couple spots but better still. I did the hidepounder method and used resolene to finish them and give them a shine. That's how this color Essex is. The flesh has that nice blue. The grain looks black but in certain light it is blue. Quote
Members YinTx Posted January 4, 2018 Members Report Posted January 4, 2018 I did not expect that soft essex would make a nice wallet leather, but it seems as though it has! Nicely done, I like the hint of blue on the interior. YinTx Quote YinTx https://www.instagram.com/lanasia_2017/ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK6HvLWuZTzjt3MbR0Yhcj_WIQIvchezo
Members Stetson912 Posted January 4, 2018 Author Members Report Posted January 4, 2018 Thanks yintx, It is nice and soft. Great for bags. But it's a good thickness and was scrap so I thought I'd try it. I did split the interior piece to 2/3 oz and that wasn't easy. And I think with cards loaded in it it'll have enough rigidity to it.

Members Stetson912 Posted January 4, 2018 Author Members Report Posted January 4, 2018 Thanks mikesc. I appreciate that. Wallets are my nemesis but I'm starting to figure them out. Quote
bikermutt07 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 It looks really clean. Very good job. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Members Stetson912 Posted January 5, 2018 Author Members Report Posted January 5, 2018 Thanks mutt. Means I'm getting better lol. Quote
Members Danne Posted January 5, 2018 Members Report Posted January 5, 2018 Nice wallet. Well done. i like the pocket shape Quote
Members Stetson912 Posted January 5, 2018 Author Members Report Posted January 5, 2018 Thanks Danne. I made the shape as an adjustment to another failed design and ended up liking it better Quote
