You would get more strength on the card pockets if you sewed the edges over the top onto the layer below , rather than stopping just before the top like in your example

Interesting.  I also would like to see some cash and cards in it to better understand the design.

I found when I did that I got an interrupted line, visually, and the thread tended to cut through.

If I could add my $.02 I would say kudos for thinking outside of the box.. While im not really a fan of front pocket wallets I'm sure there's some people who like them.

I would firstly consider using a lighter weight leather to keep the bulk down and also I think you could remove the back piece of leather from the ID window, I feel like its unnecessary and would function fine with that window sewn directly to the inside wall .. another observation is it seems like there's a lot of extra leather where it could be removed but I guess that's what makes it a font pocket wallet ? lol anyways keep it up !

I'm with Enanez, 7oz leather is way to thick. By changing from a back pocket to a front pocket, you're trying to minimize things. At 7oz with 8 layers once closed, you are running close to an inch thick before you add any cards or cash. Even dropping to 4oz, you've dropped to 1/2" closed and empty. And if you get rid of the backing piece behind the ID window, will help a little as well.

Every day you learn something is a good day. If you don't learn something every day, was it worth waking up for?

Thanks gentlemen for your ideas!! I'm going to carry it a while to see how it functions. I'm particularly interested in how it will act once broken in. I suspect that I'll end up agreeing that the leather overall is too thick for the design.
