Thanks gents! I appreciate the comments

I'll post up some pics of the interior soon. The wallet I posted pics of yesterday that you guys saw came out wrong, and I didn't notice until I finished it. The pattern that I used was one that I designed for 4-5oz leather, and the leather I used for this wallet is 2-3oz, so the flap came out too long. I made the whole thing over and I'll be stitching it up this morning. I had to rework the pattern to get it right for the correct leather. Also, I won't be using that heavy (4-5oz) leather again for a wallet.

Some details about the wallet: It's made with the older Wabash fabric (my personal favorite). I've been using a wallet cut from that pattern for about 6 months and had some lessons learned as well that I incorporated into the design of this new wallet. The leather used is Horween Front Quarter Horse in Color 8. It's stunning stuff.  The prototype model I made earlier this year was made with linen thread which proved to be inferior with leather this thin so I opted for a 100% polyester thread instead.

My first attempt at Sheridan style tooling.

Very cool

Pretty nice first attempt Zach! Hmm thinking that might make a nice accent on a messenger when I can get to it.

I blame you jdl

[jdl1279]

I've gladly taken responsibility for far worse things! Kinda interested to see what new ideas you come up with using some of these techniques.

[jdl1279]

I'd be interested to see how the Sheridan looks with some wear on it. The basket weave just keeps developing more character.

Thanks for posting some pics! I've actually been meaning to ask you to post some as I've been curious about how my babies are doing!

I'll try to get some good shots of the wallet and belt tomorrow under decent light. It all is still looking great and functioning perfectly. Wallet is finally softened up some, and the belt is hands down my favorite ever!

[jdl1279]

Here ya go @seawolf Getting decent shots in natural light is getting tricky with Michigan autumn in full swing

[seawolf]

Thank you! This is great

[jdl1279]

Thank you!! These get a ton of love.  I wear the belt probably 4-5 days a week and carry the rest whenever I'm not working. Easily worth the investment!!!

Badass dude. I'm so happy you're happy.

[seawolf]

Getting some practice in.
