Please critique wallets

What weight is that calf leather? I like the look of it and I've never worked with shell cordovan or any imitations. For that price, I'd like to give it a shot.

Yeah, I'm ordering some too. If it's that scratch resistant I might just switch to it for my wallets and pouches.

@cbossio: pending the OP's reply, FWIW I've been using 1 mm (2.5 oz) weight for wallets. I find it optimal, specially when you start adding panels, you can add up to three without the need to skive. Thicker leather would leave you with a brick, methinks. Guess you could go as thin as 0.8 mm.

Thank you so much everyone for your feedback. Sorry for the late replies. I’ve been very sick lately.

@terrymac I sometimes tap the stitches with a hammer. I often hesitate to do this because I don’t know if I like the flattened look of the stitches.

@Tugadude yeah I’ve seen money clips before. Seems very practical / cool solution. 

@Hardrada i’m pretty sure it’s not veg-tanned. It’s somewhat scratch resistant. I got some scratches from normal use but nothing major

@cbossio It comes in 3.5oz I think but I got it split to 3oz. I skived the edges / card slots make the wallet thinner.

I like it the way it is, nice leather, nice stitches. If I had to change something I would skive the edges, it will look less bulky. But that's personal. Great work.
