r/wallets

Made a wallet out of my good friends alligator harvest. My second time making a wallet. Can’t wait to make others and to continue improving.

After seeing this thread on the Lost Dutchman facebook page, I'm surprised they admit to no longer finishing the edges on their products. I watched some of their old videos - they used to bevel and burnish the whole darn thing... Don't buy mass produced wallets... Cutting corners and raising prices at the same time isn't cool.

Bought this wallet today at an estate sale and wanted a few details regarding it? Couldn't find anything online really besides the brand. Came with all the stuff you see inside of it. P.S. if anyone could let me know what this buttoned pocket is for I'd appreciate it.

I have seen a few people use shaving cream and dye to create patterns on natural veg. This is the result of my first attempt. I’m very pleased with the outcome.

These were a bit of an experiment for me, but they turned out WAY cool. These are my small and large flap wallets, made in 2 layers of 2oz leather, black Wickett & Craig Skirting and some Italian Patent Hologram Calf that was a surplus from a luxury brand (I want to say the place I bought it from said Coach). Aside from the holographic patent throwing all sorts of funkyness with the camera, these feel really close to Wickett harness on these wallets. These won't be everyone's cup, but I wanted to see how patent chrome tan worked with a Veg tan backing.

I'd be willing to part with them for $80 for the large and $55 for the small, free shipping. DM me if interested.

Improvised making this cheeky little two pocket card holder out of Badalassi Belfagor full grain leather since I messee up the cuts of larger pieces.

Love the feel of this leather, feels firm but has a sort of bounce to it when you press it in your hand.

Holds abit of folded cash and 1 or 2 cards up front, and 4-5 cards in the main pocket. Good for a quick trip out.

Might do a similar one with an ID window on the back 🤔

Getting back into leather working and the design/making wallets is my favorite part of leather working. As I get better I am hoping to do this more on the side to sell them. My plan is to sell some wallets and get some higher quality tools.

I have 2 Clayton wallets. The blood core and light brown. I like them and was wondering what others think of the quality. It seems to be holding up well

This is the Kate Spade black tinsel small card set from quite a few years ago. Mine is now falling apart but I don’t want to replace it without finding something similar! I especially like that the removable card holder has a snap closure.

i found this wallet from muji but they don’t have it in stores anymore. if anybody knows anything similar i’d greatly appreciate it
