Commission wallet in progress

[T.eddie]

Had someone reach out for a custom wallet for their husbands birthday.

Went through the leathers I had aviable and they had seen the previous semi-shell Cordovan I'd made as their partner likes traditionalcl colours on wallets. They asked for as similar to that as possible but instead of a hidden coin slot, extra card slots. So I've made it a bit larger but it should be a cracking wallet. Cutting and benelling is complete, sides that I won't be ablento get to once it's together are burnished and finished with mink oil. Now it's the process of stamping and pulling it together.

Hoping to get this finished this weekend for it to get to them in plenty of time.

Some glueing and stitching done

Need to stamp and then glue the remaining bits, then it's time to bring it together and finish the edges

 

[T.eddie]

Stamps added

 

[T.eddie]

Glued and stitching complete, edges have been levelled with the skiving knife. Now all that's left is the sanding and burnishing

 

[T.eddie]

All finished now and ready to go

This wallet measures 220mm x 95mm when open so has plenty of room for cards and cash, with 6 internal cards slots, 2 hidden slots underneath these and 1 external card slot

The final touch, a keyring made using the same Brown walpier buttero leather that was used for the middle section of the wallet

That's a fine piece of Craftsmanship

Thank you, i must say I was really impressed with the end result, even the Mrs gave a bit of praise, which is not like her at all

Very good

Probably worth putting up what sort of price (roughly) that would cost.

 

[T.eddie]

Thank you

And the wallet there is £110 (because of the shell Cordovan leather being used) If it were fully pueblo or buttero it would be in the region of £70 or so

Very nice job and the eventual owner will be very happy with it!
Just a quick question - and not a criticism at all - does the wallet have an anti skim facility? or would that be an extra coating in the outer leather? I had a card skimmed a while back and tend to be more paranoid than I used to be, especially when travelling abroad.

Thank you, and not a problem, it doesn't have the Rfid blocking features, it is something I want to look into in the future but just haven't had a chance to find/refine it, though it is certainly possible to add to a wallet like this

 

[T.eddie]

I've some black, tan and olive green pueblo leather that I'm thinking I may make another wallet the same as above, though haven't decided on the colour combinations yet, if anyone is interested in having one let me know as I can personalise it free of charge if I've not cut it yet

 

[T.eddie]

A few new thread colours arrived today, these could make things a bit different
Grey, orange and light green
