Lined with chevre

[samNZJP]

Not much to say, would love to know the process behind lining card slots with chevre.

Here's an example - https://www.chestermox.com/blog/Bespoke_barenia_chevre_coinpouch_bifold_wallet/

PS - anyone know any other premium leather makers like chester mox?

That is a beautifully made wallet.

The attention to detail justifies the price tag

Would like to know the details too if anybody knows.

 

Chester Mox! One of the reasons I got into leatherworking. I have a 6 pocket cardholder from them in Ilcea museum calf that is just sublime!

 

Instagram is the best place to find people like Chester MOX, IMHO. I follow around 300+ leatherworkers, shoemakers, toolmakers and other related tradesmen on IG. Here are (in no particular order) some of my favorite leatherworkers:

Thanks a lot. I’ve been following some of these people. I especially like niwa leathers

Wow, that's some fine work. From the pictures and description it sounds to me like each of the side and bottom edges of each piece of the pockets (8 pieces;4 pockets and 4 liners) and interior and exterior (4pieces; one interior and exterior and 2 liners) is skived extremely thin. To a feather edge I would think. Then you would glue the linings to the pockets interior and exterior and crease them and finish the top edges (with edge paint I'm guessing) then you would stitch it up and finish the stitched edges. 

The coin pouch looks to be only 6 layers at the edge. So the pieces there would probably not have been skive as thin as the card slot side so that the thickness of both edges would be close to the same. 

And if you've ever tried hand skiving you will appreciate how well made this wallet is, it's no easy task and I always mess it up somehow. Haha.
