CastleLeatherWorks Report post Posted December 18, 2020 Back with another wallet. I really like the way this one came out. The mpg Aragona has a beautiful pull up when flexed. I did apply a layer of Aussie leather conditioner to it and it turned the leather darker than I would have liked but I think it still looks great and feels nice in the hand. This one is black buttero for the outside wall and inner money pocket with mpg aragona in charcoal for the inside. Hand sewn with 0.45mm black waxed linen thread spaced at 5mm. Edge paint is uniters black. comments and critiques always welcome thanks for looking!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

battlemunky Report post Posted December 19, 2020 It looks great but having seen the inside I'd love to see that on the outside. I bet with some pocket wear and getting tossed into a valet/glovebox a few hundred times it'd develop some crazy character you just don't get to see with black leather. As is, it looks really well executed and professional though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike02130 Report post Posted December 19, 2020 Nice stuff. I've used a lot of the Buttero but am moving away from it. Seems like it scratches just by looking at it. Nice leather for a wallet. Why such wide stitching? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have plenty more so I’m sure I’ll revisit this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just got this mpg Apollo from district leather supply that is supposedly better than buttero but I haven’t cut into it. The stitching is 5mm instead of my usual 3.38mm because I was feeling lazy lol and while I do agree it’s wider than usual I think it still looks very nice.

bvdv Report post Posted December 19, 2020 Very nice executed, nice stitching, edge work, .... Maybe a crease on the outside to be more consistent, just my 2 cents. Greetings Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greetings I agree with this suggestion. In addition to looking consistent, it helps to "fill the gap" between the stitching and the edge, making the stitching appear to be closer to the edge than it actually is.
