Members Joseph1836 Posted January 25, 2018 Members Report Posted January 25, 2018 Want to start making wallets. And would like to see what y'all do, in one post Quote
Members DJole Posted January 25, 2018 Members Report Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) Well, I made this just for myself, and it's the first time I ever tried doing this... so here it is, in its flawed glory: I like the tooling design. It's based on metal work found on the Sutton Hoo purse (an Anglo-Saxon ship burial from about 600 AD). Dye color is Fiebing's Oxblood; hand stitched with red linen thread. (Back from before I even knew what a pricking iron, or a stitching iron, even was.) Trifold design-- I find it bulky in actual use. Black pigskin liner--fitted like an amateur (see the wrinkle to the side of the ID?) 2 card pockets on the left side-- you can see the gold card in one pocket, and underneath that one is a custom pocket open on both sides -- the card can be slid out to the left or right. I like this feature. Middle ID holder, with plastic sleeves. Realistic DMV photo not included. Right side has one card holder (diagonal line marks it) and change pocket (with small rivets to reinforce.) Edited January 25, 2018 by DJole Quote \D.

bikermutt07 Posted January 25, 2018 Report Posted January 25, 2018 This is my 4th or 5th wallet. The second one I made for myself. 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 26, 2018 Members Report Posted January 26, 2018 This one is a basic 4 slot I made out of horween Essex and another black veg tan I had. This is the one I use, it is the JLS pattern. Minimalist 2 pocket wallet. Very thin. I hardly know it's ever there. Quote

Members Instinctive Posted January 26, 2018 Members Report Posted January 26, 2018 My front pocket. Made this as a sampler out of some too thick Auburn Junkyard leather to try it out but liked it so much I've been trying it out for 3 months now. Friend o mine nicknamed it the "TARDIS". Holds money folded once and up to 14 cards with two in the quick access slot. Made from one piece of leather. I also do a stitched version now.

Members Stetson912 Posted January 26, 2018 Members Report Posted January 26, 2018 @Joseph1836, sort of did. You've heard the phrase taste the rainbow... That's what happens to cows tat are allowed to graze on rainbows... Ok, so that's hoopla! This is how I done it if you wish to know the technique. Quote
Members TheCyberwolfe Posted January 26, 2018 Members Report Posted January 26, 2018 I made a long wallet on a whim, and realized I just can't use one on the day-to-day, so I made a bi-fold afterward. Then one for my brother's birthday: Quote -- I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute! www.rogueleather.com
