It's great to see a true craftsman at work in these rushed days. A trade very much like woodcarving where every part of the material is touched, a talent that is coming back. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼😊
This is true to a degree. What we do would have been less unusual 100 years ago, but it would still have been top end, expensive stuff. The wallet we based the design of this one on was machine stitched and it was made in the 50s and came from somewhere smart in London so even then speed of production was a major factor, probably along with a skill shortage caused by the wars.
In these days of mass produced crap it’s so nice to see that traditional crafts are still being used to create things of beauty and style that will last a lifetime.
I don't dig leather for uses like this (maybe for warmth and what uses the original animal uses its hide for), but when things are hand-crafted, it's a beautiful process. Not only is a product coming into existence, but someone, a person, a conscious, thinking being, paid very close attention to the expectations of the product, and ensured that the beauty of whatever it is is exceeding to those who receive it.
Equus Leather I realize this was over a year ago, but my only problem with the video is I wish you had shown the final product a bit. granted we did see you make the whole thing, but I was sitting in anticipation wanting to see what it looked like when it was done.
If you told me this was Zachary Quinto playing a new role I would've believed it. Doppelganger properties aside, the craftsmanship is amazing and I look forward to watching more of this.
Cyrus DJ yes, I find it gives me serious anxiety and suicidal thoughts, I haven’t slept for eight days now, I’m beginning to think suicide is my only option !!
Cyrus DJ nah they’ll try sedate me, I saw it on a documentary once, the CIA will do experiments on me man, I can’t go, I won’t go !! They’re everywhere !!!! Always watching !!
There’s no better way to prove it to you than a non biased person of the mad house ua-cam.com/video/9yVWM49R4HU/v-deo.html Does this look like a torturing room to you?👆🏻
I spend many hours making things many don't understand why and will likely never get it. Beautiful work, fantastic filming. Awesome craftsmanship. Thank you
If the production value of your videos is any indication of the quality of your products, it is easy to justify the expense for great quality. Keep up the great work!!
Equus Leather well, they used to and may still, mucklucks are traditionally seal skin with sinew sown waterproof seamed boots, they aren't really moccasins, although the terms may have a common etymology. The Eskimo and Innuit made them, I hope some still do. You could have been a surgeon, most people can't find their own ass with both hands, much less craft/create something of quality, but then few actually know quality when it pugnaciously slaps the stew out of them. Sad really. Nevertheless, do not despair, a Renaissance returns. Thanks for the reply. All the best.
I’m only halfway through this video but already I am flabbergasted by the skiving of one edge into a neat,narrow angle done freehand with a chisel! Many, many hours of practice have gone into perfecting just that skill alone.
This hands down the most peaceful and soul satisfying thing I have ever watched! Don't know why all the thumbs down?? Some people just don't comprehend the value and satasafactury of working with ones hands!! I love leather products!! Watching you work was like seeing a beautiful ballet dance unfold!! You are a gentleman and a scholar! My hat off to you SIR!!
Wrenchman Tooly I'll tell you why. Real leather workers can see the flaws. Not just that but there are literally thousands of people who can do it better without the drama who get paid sh1t money, despite their skill. So go suck an egg with the whole we don't know crap. Soppy music and crap leatherwork seems to be a big draw though. Maybe I should spread the word that this is how to sell leatherwork nowadays.
Gary Goyle Gary Goyle. Whoa whoa whoa. Not sure how to address such a remark as yours? I'm man enough and secure enough in with myself to not to let your very crude and imature remark such as yours effect me. Don't know why the hostile reply? Maybe you work with leather also? If your so bitter at life change. The situations in life can't always be changed but your outlook on it can. So... And I put this kindly... Change your outlook and mature..?
you can drive around a 26 year old banged up toyota camry or you can drive a bugatti. you can use a duct tape wallet or use a hand crafted alligator skin wallet. you can wear a macy's suit or you can wear a hand made italian or turkish suit. its these choices that separate common folk and the rich / the luxury enthusiasts (or the stupid common folk that wanna look rich and save 2 months just to buy a belt)
I love both the lighting and the visible patience that this guy has. I have made lots of leather projects of my own and I can tell you that it can be very frustrating at times.
Who needs machines when their are truely gifted people out there who can make beautiful pieces like this i always go for quality not quantity you get what you pay for and i'd buy a handmade wallet over machine made one anyday beautiful work you should be proud ☺
really? there are different time zones in the world?! Thank you "From now on" you've opened my eyes. Now I know there are two time zones in the world, life will never be the same.
Hello from Boston! Thank you for your beautiful videos, you are an artist. Your videos were the start of my inspiration to take up leather-craft and I will be starting my own small business soon!
extremely impressed with the cleanliness of the work space. I know of only one of country that has super clean workspaces for this kind of work and that is Japan. Clean workspace equates to a clean and efficient product. Very nice work.
I don't really like the wallet personally (not my style) but I extremely appreciate the precision and time that went into making such a piece. Dedication, skill, and time was put into that wallet. I would even dare to say that it is an art to do something like this. 👍🏻 I'm glad there are people who still do this sort of thing, it's amazing to watch.
I could watch videos like this all day long. People who can craft items of this quality with their hands are a special kind of people. The concentration he exhibits while he works, the cleanliness of his workspace, the care the takes with even the finest details are simply amazing.
I take it you've never heard of search engines then? It's really not that difficult...for most of us... www.equusleather.co.uk/the-lloyd-coat-wallet.html
@@Penguin_of_Death The point is that we shouldn't have to. The entire video is about making a wallet. And then they don't even show the wallet. That's fucking horse shit.
It was nice...but I'm amazed that the last 2 minutes of footage before credits was not a full reveal of the finished product. Why wasn't the finished product shown well and fully? I feel like we watched a chef cook a meal, but we never get to see it plated. Oh well.
Fair point. We didnt pull off the shot we wanted for the final product shot, so we left it out. Its an omission in the film, but we didnt want to spoil it with shots that wherent the quality of the rest of it.
In the age of *mass productions* and robotics, _exquisitely_ *handcrafted* pieces carry a *_great sense of value_* not so much for its price, but *_of Passion_* poured into creating the same. 💞 ❣️💕
So few can afford to pay for that passion, though! If you are a leatherworker, and have a discerning eye, you will see that there are flaws, or aspects of this wallet that are not totally there. But that is the thing about leatherwork, there is always more to learn, skills can always be pushed further towards perfection.
Don't get me wrong, this is stunningly beautiful and shows true quality but damn near $600 for a wallet? Shit....i'll have nothing to put into it after i buy it xD
It's great to see a true craftsman at work in these rushed days. A trade very much like woodcarving where every part of the material is touched, a talent that is coming back. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼😊
Glad you enjoyed :-)
Indeed I have and also a few more of your videos..
Equus Leather what's the musical piece been played?
Marc Do you like drawing :) You should watch my latest video or subscribe :)
Makes you understand why some items are so expensive. The amount of time, dedication and detail is truly amazing.

I agree, but depends on how deep the consumers pockets are. For someone well off, it wouldn't hurt their bank account.

Putther loool i never expected to see you here, true fan!
Equus Leather what's the song?
Child laborers aren't making high quality leather wallets. Either robots or highly skilled artisans make them.
In these days of mass produced crap it’s so nice to see that traditional crafts are still being used to create things of beauty and style that will last a lifetime.
Thank you :-)
beautiful work, but why a 6+ minute video with no payoff at the end showcasing the finished product?
Baghuul its really not...
But they tease you with the build up and close-ups and don't give you the final release of seeing the finished product
They're showcasing the craftsman's skill, not the product.
KwetsiG
they cant tack a 20-30 second reveal at the end?

This channel soothes me... the music and the sound of cutting, the leather when he touches it, the thread, hammering...everything😊
Sugar & Spice glad you enjoy it :-)
As a saddle maker, who has made a few wallets, that is fantastic workmanship.
Thank you, thats kind of you to say
Equus Leather great work man keep it up im subscribing
And it requires very steady hands, which I sadly do not have!
Equus Leather I realize this was over a year ago, but my only problem with the video is I wish you had shown the final product a bit. granted we did see you make the whole thing, but I was sitting in anticipation wanting to see what it looked like when it was done.
This video was absolutely beautiful! And that is not a wallet, that is art!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
Id wrap that wallet up inside my money bruh
I almost choked on my food 😂😂😂
Funny :-)
I do so love watching these video's. Thank goodness the art of hand made beautiful things is kept alive and well by you.
Thanks Ian!
Lovely workmanship, a true crafts person. Thank you for share your Love, it can't be work as you look too content doing it. Billy
Thank you. We love what we do :-)
If you told me this was Zachary Quinto playing a new role I would've believed it. Doppelganger properties aside, the craftsmanship is amazing and I look forward to watching more of this.
My thoughts as well.
I can't believe that I just watched a 6 minute video on a guy making a wallet, and I loved it.
My thoughts exactly. Enjoying the process of the art is a bit exhilarating. I often watch woodturning videos and time flies horribly.
strangely one of the most relaxing videos ive seen on youtube
Am I the only one who thinks watching this is relaxing?!
Cyrus DJ yes, I find it gives me serious anxiety and suicidal thoughts, I haven’t slept for eight days now, I’m beginning to think suicide is my only option !!
Cyrus DJ nah they’ll try sedate me, I saw it on a documentary once, the CIA will do experiments on me man, I can’t go, I won’t go !! They’re everywhere !!!! Always watching !!
Dave Smith
There are so many ways for me to prove you wrong! 😂
But even if that’s true, it’s better than suicide, 😂
Cyrus DJ prove it to me !!! I need answers !!
There’s no better way to prove it to you than a non biased person of the mad house

I spend many hours making things many don't understand why and will likely never get it. Beautiful work, fantastic filming. Awesome craftsmanship. Thank you
Not at all, thank you for the kind words and for the time spent watching
This ain't no wallet... This is perfection.
If the production value of your videos is any indication of the quality of your products, it is easy to justify the expense for great quality. Keep up the great work!!
This video made me realize that I should really pursue delicate craftsmanship of some sort.
Didn't know Zachary Quinto is now making wallets.
Julian Rain this is what happens after he goes bald.
That was my exact first thought when I saw this guy xD
Haha, I thought the same as well.
sylar is really crafty
Same.
Handcraft should be worshiped because the item shows the dedication of the maker to master his craft
a leather smith with such pretty fingers? me calls bull on that!
and yet that wallet was made with those fingers!
your just a clumsy worker
Equus Leather nice work. I could use some water proof seamed moccasins.
***** Thank you! Do waterproof mocassins even exist??
Equus Leather well, they used to and may still, mucklucks are traditionally seal skin with sinew sown waterproof seamed boots, they aren't really moccasins, although the terms may have a common etymology.

Wrenchman Tooly probably because he didnt show the wallet at the end
Eric Reyes ye that pissed me too because it's fucking commercial and he's probably not leatherman at all
That wallet costs more money than I'll ever have in a wallet
480?!! Who the fuck needs a wallet that expensive? I can make one out of Duct tape that will last me like 10 years or more.
Cricket101382 I wouldnt spend that much on a wallet but these will last a long time and are handmade. They're obviously VERY good quality...
Nope the one shown is in alligator skin and cost 1535 euros.
Waste of money.
you can drive around a 26 year old banged up toyota camry or you can drive a bugatti. you can use a duct tape wallet or use a hand crafted alligator skin wallet. you can wear a macy's suit or you can wear a hand made italian or turkish suit. its these choices that separate common folk and the rich / the luxury enthusiasts (or the stupid common folk that wanna look rich and save 2 months just to buy a belt)
Nevermind the amazing craftsmanship. The video presentation alone was worth the view.
I love both the lighting and the visible patience that this guy has. I have made lots of leather projects of my own and I can tell you that it can be very frustrating at times.
Very frustrating most of the time, if you're here in our shop. Leatherwork is the hardest craft I've ever tried.
Always enjoy watching a master craftman at work.
Wesley Baquero you should watch me bate. I'm a true master 😏
I bought a wallet from a regular market store when I was 14. I still have it. i have never had another wallet. it's still good. cost me $5.
Evil Spyke well, your current age is an important fact in that story. If you are 15... Well... So? But if you are 40.... Good job man.
NutzLast rude.
Who needs machines when their are truely gifted people out there who can make beautiful pieces like this i always go for quality not quantity you get what you pay for and i'd buy a handmade wallet over machine made one anyday beautiful work you should be proud ☺
Lol look guys it's Zachary Quinto!
Sushi Addict yes I was thinking that as well
bluemonkey223 any one else notice the final fantasy X theme?
I was thinking the same thing! I didn't realize the guy's name though, I was just thinking; Hey, it's Sylar from Heroes!
Nathan Jennings sylar was such a horrible guy! preferred him as spock
DUDE.... SYLAR! :D
applaud applaud as loud as you can this is what the world needs today someone who can do something and do it WELL SUPERBtaking pride in his work amen
You should do guitar straps. They would sell. When a guitar is £10-20k a strap made like this would be perfect.
Yes this is a very good idea put small pockets for picks and spare strings into it too to combine wallet with strap
This is truly amazing, from craftsmanship to the video quality. You sir owe us more videos :)
Thank you. More soon!
This makes me cry since my Bespoke leather wallet was stolen inside a mall.
The craftsmanship in to these handmade crafts is so magnificent.
The craftsmanship of this wallet is an art form in itself.
what am a doing with my life its fucking 2 in the morning
Oliver Edvinson
Depends where you are.
really? there are different time zones in the world?! Thank you "From now on" you've opened my eyes. Now I know there are two time zones in the world, life will never be the same.

This video is a piece of art, not just the handyman... the music, the cameraman and the producers behind it are just amazing and smart
Bomen Orange thank you, appreciated!
The craftsmanship of this wallet is absolutely beautiful, the processing was amazing.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
Jesus christ this music is sappy...
true :p
So much this, why would you add this type of music to this video.
the whole thing is sappy
Would have been so much better with AMSR rather than adding this music
Such craftsmanship i will always appreciate, but will never be able to afford
beautiful craft, beautiful video
that was real interesting and beautiful. God bless you and you great skills
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Plz make more videos like this
We plan to!
Equus Leather how long does it take to make one
One of these wallets? It can be up to 2 days
This isn't a job. It's art. Just the amount of work, talent and patience that goes into these items makes the price worth while. Such beauty.
this is really cool but i have no idea why it was in my recommendations
This was so peaceful I actually passed out x3

Thank you. We agree, you cant be creative amongst a chaotic workspace, and you certainly cant produce clean work in, just one as you say
This guy put more care and attention into making that one wallet than I did on all of my years of schooling combined.
wow.... this guy's deserves every penny and respect.
I don't care how much that wallet costs, the amount of time and effort put into it, is worth it.
I don't really like the wallet personally (not my style) but I extremely appreciate the precision and time that went into making such a piece. Dedication, skill, and time was put into that wallet. I would even dare to say that it is an art to do something like this. 👍🏻 I'm glad there are people who still do this sort of thing, it's amazing to watch.
really satisfying to watch
Anyone else think he kinda looks like Sylar from the show Heros?
thebigdustin
I thought his name was sylus and yes he looks alot like him.
This gentleman needs a proper beard.
thebigdustin that what i also thought lol
lmao glad I'm not the only one
I thought the same thing.
Imagine if he was a watchmaker.
thebigdustin omg yes
Every time I have the pleasure of watching such a craftsman I am thankful we still have some left! Thank you.
Do you make a nylon and Velcro version of that? I like the Velcro closure to keep my arcade membership card safe.

Travis Estep thanks, glad you enjoyed it :-)
Not gonna buy a wallet this expensive, but I did enjoy seeing how it's made and how it turned out. That's art, man. :)
Nothing will ever match the attention to detail achieved by a true craftsman; astonishing work
when you really need an A in the schoolproject
To think that someone owns that exact wallet now, they may not have even seen this and may never see it
Oh my god that's my wallet! My exact wallet! I thought i would never see it being made. Unbelievable!
Nah man thats my wallet
Please upload many wonderful videos as good as this one. I love it so much. It is so relaxing n good watching.
now you're making my cheap Calvin Klein synthetic fake leather wallet that I found at some department store feel very jealous
is it just me or did this remind anyone of the scene where that old guy is repairing woody after his arm got ripped by the prospector?
Brendony Haha! I thought I was the only one.😂
That was actually beautiful...
I have never seen a video so interesting and INTENSE as this one holy alligator skin
Fr
that is not alligator skin, it is just shaped like it
KhaRughe Slatheron Nope, real alligator. Why do you think it’s 1400£?
Of course, the very best wallets are made to classical music by a man wearing a cardigan.
nagualdesign that's probably a lot of where the cost comes from yes x)
nagualdesign that cardigan happens to be fleece waistcoat! Bet your clothes are as shit as the wallets you buy!
Pffft... I don't wear clothes! B-)
That's not classical.
nagualdesign I think your supposed to be sipping single malt and smoking a pipe just to watch this.
He has shown my point .. saddle stitching always looks better & it’s a craft!! Thx you
What a graceful video and such a peace it emits. Nice job and wonderful work.
he looks like Tom cruise in tropic thunder
That's the most dramatic wallet making I've ever seen!!!
Glad I'm not rich enough to buy this but poor and free enough to watch and appreciate the work
Wow! I cant believe he made that beautiful wallet in only 6 minutes.
"Wow"
-Owen Wilson
krishan mohan "Wow. What did he say?." Jenifer Anniston, and then Hillary looked surprised and said, "Wow."
Facepalm
Funny.
@Yasir yousuf zai r/wooosh
What an incredible demonstration of perfection. This is really remarkable and worth looking a thousand times.

Real artful video man, real respect for the craftsmanship too.
I don't know how to describe so much softness back every trace but just to say it's a really beautiful and wonderful leather work, amazing
BEST ASMR EVER

C'est extraordinaire et magnifique... Vous êtes un artiste... Merci
I wanted to see the wallet at the end in it's finished state, not the of hands of the actor Zachary Quinto.
Does anyone else think that this guy looks like an old version of Zachary Quinto?!?
I loved everything about this video. The music was absolutely perfect for it. ❤️
I don't like when the full finished product is not shown in the end
Art SF Blog it's to push you to go and put your own hands on one. Sadly, after buying it you won't have any money to put in it!
In the age of *mass productions* and robotics, _exquisitely_ *handcrafted* pieces carry a *_great sense of value_* not so much for its price, but *_of Passion_* poured into creating the same. 💞 ❣️💕
So few can afford to pay for that passion, though! If you are a leatherworker, and have a discerning eye, you will see that there are flaws, or aspects of this wallet that are not totally there. But that is the thing about leatherwork, there is always more to learn, skills can always be pushed further towards perfection.
Who the hell even dares to dislike such beautifully delicate craftsmanship
So are we just gonna pretend like this isn't Spock when he gets older and settles down?
you can tell he takes pride in his craft.
Quality over quantity this is amazing the amount of time you take on a single wallet
Good not fast etc..
My god, its sylar!
conecturs I guess he moved on from watches. Dare I say....he's lost hair from the stress related to time piece repair?
That was the same thing that I was thinking!! cx
conecturs hahahaha thanks for making me realise it
I love the workmanship in these goods. It takes many years to develop. That level of skill. You truly make it look deceptively simple.
Don't get me wrong, this is stunningly beautiful and shows true quality but damn near $600 for a wallet? Shit....i'll have nothing to put into it after i buy it xD
600$??? damn o.O I was thinking ok maybe 100$ this would be awesome, but 600???
no man its £540 i.e $721#FML
Go mgtow....then you can afford anything.....
Is the wallet handmade?
