Making a Leather Biker Wallet
Biker style wallets are a great leather project for more advanced skill levels in leather crafting. We made this biker wallet from natural vegetable tanned leather with poly threads, cutting the leather by hand and using a saddle stitch to sew the leather wallet together. Hand sewing a wallet like this is the best way to construct a biker wallet where your leather is too thick for most sewing machines.
This biker wallet is about 6" tall and 4" wide. It has 8 card slots, two receipt slots, and a slot that fits every international type of paper money we could find. The snap is a custom made solid brass concho that is copper plated.
This style of biker wallet is usually paired with a chain or braided reign for security as it sticks out of the back pocket, however it could also be carried in a bag or purse instead and the attachment could be omitted from the leather biker wallet. Happy making!
I'm very impressed by how much cutting you're doing freehand, even straight edges. That takes some real skill.
I love how you made your wallet. But one thing you should do when you make your card holders. After you glue them together, then stitch it first for sometimes the glued edges may slip or slide as your punching the stitch holes. Once you have them stitched then you can cut off the excess leather then sand them on your sander. That way if they do slide or slip you wont have an awkward uneven edge to have to sand more and risk the sander sanding more off closer to your stitching.
Also when you were edging the card holders another way that helps so your not working against yourself. Start facing the direction of the leather in the direction of the holders and bevel edge following the direction of the holders. That way when you come to each and every one of them your not fighting against the direction of them and yourself. Ive been working with leather for over 30 yrs and overtime you pick up other ways of doing things and how to improve and with the help of others with more experience to improve on my own techniques.
Overall nice work
👍 perfect focus pull at 6:55
I can tool leather really well it's the rest of it that kicks my ass. Thanks for the videos wish there was some commentary along with it though
I'm an amateur when it comes to leather craft, I do love crafting leather goods for my family and friends from time to time because the whole process is so satisfying and takes my stress away.. this video did the same for me in 14 mins :) while I prepare for my semester tests! Cheers!
Glad we could help - good luck on your tests!
I'm doing the same. Studying and watching. Hehe
A LEATHER WASHER! Y’all are on another level over there! 😍
You have the steady hand of a surgeon, no doubt about it.
I find the funnest part to be figuring out who is doing what, since you both switch camera/leatherwork so much throughout your videos. :)
Rather ANNOYING. close ups quick changes. DIDNT learn a thing......LAME
Bak Draft you must be a fun person to be around
Nice project. I think the wallet would look a lot better with stitch grooves and proper saddle stitching. Takes a little more time, but well worth it in the end.
thanks for watching! This is a proper saddle stitch, we just don't use a stitching pony :)
Beautiful Wallet! Love watching you all work!
Started watching due to the thumbnail, stayed because of the impressive freehand cutting. Kudos to both.
I just want to see the rest of the person modeling the wallet in the thumbnail. 😇😂 This is nice work though. I'm getting into leatherworking myself. Just bought the tools, leather, dyes/polishes, and a personalized makers stamp. I need a bigger table, but going to go ahead and get started on a small one I've got for now. Always good to have videos for reference/inspiration.
I’m new to the game and making my first wallet thanks for showing me the ways
So jealous of the freehand cutting! I wish I were brave enough to even try. I still break into sweat when I'm cutting my pieces.
Just lots and lots of practice - you can do it!
The return of the improvised rounding corners: Today we present the dye bottle cap. BTW id time to clean the sander :)
you know it ;) that sander is constantly a mess, I really wish they'd add a dust collection option
look around on here to find some videos on it. I think matthias wandel has one for his belt sander
Why is this so satisfying? *_*
Awesome work. I've recently gotten into working with leather and I've learned so much from the videos you've put out, so thank you for the great content!
The cutting skills... free hand... i wish i could..
hello, you are a true craftsman. enjoy watching you. what type of stitch do you use in this video. I don't think its a saddle stitch. thank you
Very nice artwork, can nearly smell the leather and the glue 👍
Beautiful work! Elegant!
WOW YOUR WORK IS SIMPLY THE BEST, THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING I LOVE IT, SUCH A FANTASTIC VIDEO, THE WALLET IS SO AMAZING
Слов нет, превосходно как всегда!
Incredible. Maked me want to learn this myself.
Such a beautiful craftsmanship!
Yeah, very relaxing to watch, I hope to achieve this level of quality. Guys keep up the great work
Absolutely beautiful
beautiful! it's a great joy to watch you at work :-)
было бы очень хорошо если вы указывали размеры раскраиваемых детелей.хотелось бы изготовить изделия по вашему подобию для себя лично и наслаждаться изделием и гордится собой: да- я сумела это сделать. может не так красиво и качественно получится,но попытка -не пытка.спасибо за видио --очень хорошо и подробно все показано крупным планом.
作り方がワイルドで好き😄
Love it!!! Thank you
Magnífico trabajo!
Excellent craftsmanship ! do you sell this pattern? 🤔
I use the same dye. That's awesome.
Great job!
totally awesome work and very inspiring! thank you for sharing.
Wow, you're true artist! I have a question, what would you recommend to break in a new leather wallet or speed up the process? It's a biker style wallet sold by Harley Davidson if that makes a difference. I was searching youtube for a method and ended up here and couldn't stop watching, you do awesome work!
thanks so much! A leather balm like Obenaufs should help soften up stiff leather :) a lot of saddle leathers and stiffer leathers (if they're real leather) also will just be a waiting game - they take some time to break in, but once they do they're molded to your body and are super comfy!
@@Corter Thank you very much, appreciate the advice!
Watching this so relaxing
I liked that thumbnail😂
how old are you? 12?
Chapaa nah
What beautiful work!
Приятно наблюдать за вашими руками уважаемая.
How do u match the holes joining the 2 parts???
What weight leather did you use for this? Also how would you suggest going about lining the inside with cloth? Like a bandana?
Haven't seen edge creasing in your videos... May i know why?
Awesome! LOVE your style/process :-)
Really nice, good execution. l have made a couple of wallets and they are not as easy to make as you make it look. l had a question, what brand of thread do you use? Also what's ASMR stand for?
Love your work! Started using stitching chisels myself and would like to know what is the work surface (red-brown) material that you punch on made of? Is it readily available to purchase? Thank you for the great tutorials and inspiration!
Your mic only records for the left ear side.
What size thread do you like to use for projects like this?
I am looking for the type of Concho that has two little thinks like wings on the back that go into slits and hammer over to affix - this is more for wallets, don't know how these are called -- need help please.
What type of leather do you use for these projects and where do you buy it?
Thanks for the instruction!
Exelente trabajo.pregunta en que expesor de cuero trabajas?
Good job. Great skill.
Usualmente para estos trabajos que grosor de cuero utilizas?. Gracias
nice... tyfs
Me gusta mucho este Modelo que costó tiene
I'm trying my hand at leather-working and I wanted to ask about the leather you use. I suppose it's vegetable tanned, just like the one I buy. The thing is, everything I can get my hands on has a more "tan" color, while what you're using is more "cream" colored. Is there a specific grade or type of leather that has this color?
Where are you buying your leather? Now some of the color also depends on the tanning process as well, some veg tan is a little darker new, but it is not common.
Fresh tanned veg is light tan when new, but tends to go dark as time goes by. lf you order veg tan and it's a darker tan color you are probably buying older leather that's been exposed to the air. Corter's leather in the video is quality veg leather and you can tell just by looking at it.
Mind you it doesn't hurt anything unless the leather is really old, dried out and tends to crack when bent. Quality leather has to be really old and exposed to do that. Cheap tanned leather, not so much.
All my older leather is going that way, it's why you keep it rolled up with the hide side turned toward the center and flesh side out. l also keep my larger scraps stacked on top of each other.
beautiful!
love this
Very nice!

I love your videos!
I can’t ever get my pockets to look that good
Pickpocket friendly wallet

What irons are you guys using there? I recognize the brand but I'v been after something that'll let me use a heavier thread for tool belts ect.
That is a really nice wallet, great work love your vids. Keep up the great leather work and vids. By the way where do you get your custom made concho. I have been looking to have my own custom made with my logo.
a video of making the leather belt please :)
Trabalho perfeito!!! Eu amei, parabéns!
Muy interesantes trabajos
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍from Germany
how tick is that leather ?
Great job👍👍👍
If I may, who did your concho/button, it looks excellent. Pricing?
Can't find this option on the website. Is it not a for sale item?
Do you have a pattern for this?
What kind of glue did you use?
Hi Corter, Love your work! What leather brand is this and what gauge/s are you using for this wallet?
What size are you cutting your card pockets
Wow!
Whats name of store to buy wallet and belts or how contact you ?
what thickness of the leather u use?thnk u for ur great video
Most wallets use 3-4 ounce. Can't speak for the creator obviously, but that's a standard I've seen across many projects.
+pocketninja00 thank u.love ur work.sooo much
Hi love your work where you get the custom conchos from thanks
great Job... Where can I buy the hardware...
That leather washer at the end tho
very cool
Do you guys by chance sell this exact wallet on you’re website or have any plans to produce and sell any? I would absolutely buy one if you did.
Yep! Not on the website, we make them custom with whatever leather/thread you'd like. Shoot us a message through the contact form of the website and we'll get you set up with whatever you'd like :)
Nice jeans...! Kkkkkkkkkk
For his next project, he should make a pair of leather Levi's.
If he used the same leather as the wallet, they would last for ever.
what leather do you use in this product?
What kind of needle is that?
Any chance to get the pattern?
Very nice asmr
Zer god!
No chain ?
real ASMR on 9:32 :D
You should make a messenger bag
Where can I get the templates for this???
Is that you in the thumbnail, i’m really afraid if it is..
There seems to be NO talking....Ill ask anyway. What weight of leather did you use? You could answer by typing would be greatly appreciated.
Said earlier 3 to 4 once.
