Here is a recent wallet I made.

Ok, I'll play.  Finished this one a while back, it is a prototype of a design I did last year.  I've given a few away, and I'm testing this one out to see how it performs.  All Hermann Oak 2 oz interior, and 3 oz exterior leather with a 1 oz liner.  Fil Au Chinois thread, hand stitched as always.

Wet after tooling:

Skip ahead a few weeks, and 2 days into use:

Y, you have great taste when it comes to color choices on thread.

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.

Thanks!  I must admit to consulting my better half when I get stuck between 2 or 3 options, but this one was a no brainer.  Fil Au Chinois Jaune.

Also, I should be  clear, the carving pattern is a pattern that Tandy has for free, that I took some liberties with and modified.

My wallet is just a cardholder, never have cash on me nowadays :) 

 

Clean design.  How long have you been carrying that one?

I do the same. It comes in handy having an art teacher wife.

About a year I think... I’m always going for the minimalistic look... it’s in my Scandinavian heritage :)

Hey Yin, can we see the inside? Do you put heavier leather under the 3 oz when stamping?
