► LEATHER SUPPLIERS
Wickett & Craig - I typically order their "Tooling/Holster/Carving" vegetable tanned leather. I purchase their "Standard" grade, and I request that they split it down from a thicker hide so the back is as clean as possible. I normally order 7-8 ounce for holsters, 3-4 ounce if I'm lining a holster (I build the whole thing out of 3-4 ounce), and either 3-4 or 4-5 ounce for wallets, journal covers, etc... They will allow you to purchase individual hides
Herman Oak - While I love the leather I've gotten from Wickett & Craig, I prefer the warmer coloring of natural Herman Oak. Unfortunately, H.O. requires you to buy leather in bulk from the tannery, and buying from distributors can be hit & miss. Springfield Leather sells "Herman Oak Premium Belt Bend", so I’ve been using this lately.
The Leather Guy - I don't have a lot of experience with this leather, but the "Artisan's Choice" leather I've used has been very nice. The coloration is similar to Wickett & Craig. The thing I really like about The Leather Guy's website is that nearly every single hide shown on their site is a listing for the actual hide you'll be buying, complete with photos and a description of blemishes for that particular hide. Very cool that they do that!
District Leather - I've never personally ordered from them, but I've heard good things about their leather.
Acadia Leather - I've never purchased from here either, but I've also heard good things about their leather.
Horween Leather - At the risk of sounding repetitive, here's another I've never ordered from, but their leather is very well known.
Weaver Leathercraft - Most of what I order from weaver is buckles and tools, but they also sell leather.

This is a wonderful video!!! It is packed full of detailed information on designing and building a leather wallet. No stone was left unturned! The camera work is exceptional, your voice is clear and pleasant, and I did not have to suffer through a single note of annoying music to hear you. I am basking in the afterglow of 'tutorial perfection'!
Great video, I appreciate how thorough you are and all the details of your process and tools you use!
Thank you! I tend to get a lot of the same questions spread across all my videos, so I figure I'll do my best to call out the tools as I use them. Hindsight, that might cut down on the 'engagement' UA-cam algorithm. Hmmmmm.... Thank you for watching and commenting!
I have watched many leather working videos and have to say that your instructions and information was some of the most clear and concise that I have seen. I especially liked how you showed your process of creating the pattern. I have been designing and making a few projects for several years and always enjoy learning from the masters! I have liked and subscribed!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge in such detail.
My pleasure - thank you for watching and commenting!
Somehow I think we all start with a wallet like this. I actually smoothed the inside of my wallet after assembly with some saddlesoap and the end of a paint brush. :)
They're a fun little project. Uses very little leather, and doesn't take a whole lot of tools. Thanks for watching!
Common sense..I swear your videos make the best instructional videos! Keep them up brother
Thank you - I appreciate it! And thanks for watching!
Just happened onto this. I'd never get into leather making, but this was an awesome video!!! You sure have to have a lot of stuff to make one of these. I'll stick to paper and just buy what you do.
Thanks so much for this video. I'm just starting my leatherworking hobby now, was great to see how you design your templates. I will be borrowing this technique. 😁
Thank you Rufus, I appreciate it! And good luck with your project!
Very nice wallet!
Thank you sir! I appreciate it!
You mentioned the glue 🙌🙌🙌👌🏻
Good work and thanks for sharing! It’s nice to see how everyone has their own methods and techniques. I have learned a lot from your holster videos.
I have been planning, over a year now, to resurrect my old channel and post some of my leather working. It’s a ton of work to create content. Much respect!
-Bryan
Thank you Bryan - I appreciate it! I'm a very small maker since this is really just a glorified hobby for me (8-5 in an unrelated field). I'm sure if any of the larger shops were to watch my videos, they'd laugh at some of my workflow and lack of time-saving tools & techniques. :-)
We all have to start somewhere. That’s what separates you from others. I plan on selling online in the near future and will be in the same boat as you. I have sold a few things but have not had the time to get stuff online due to busy schedule, work and family.
What started as a hobby has fast become a large investment in time and money. I look forward to sharing some of my work and seeing what you think.
I think this is my favorite of all wallet ideas. I'm a super beginner. Like I've really only made 1 project ever, but I've been studying foraging long time. Now I have the time and dollars. I bought some nice Bison calf.
Glad you liked it! Yes, this is a great wallet style. Lots of people make them, for good reason. I hardly ever carry cash, so this wallet style is perfect for me. Have fun with that bison calf! I haven't worked with that before, but I bet it's nice! Take care!
Wow what a mind
Great job. It's hard to get a good clean bevel & burnish on oil tan leather. But you did it.
Thanks you! I have very little experience with oil tan leather. Most of my stuff is veg tan. I guess I got lucky! Thanks for watching & commenting.

Muito obrigado, agradeço!
Awesome work!👍🏼 how much for the smaller sized one? I'm totally interested
I wish you still made the smaller sized wallet version you been carrying. I took a look at your website and it's no longer available sadly
Can we line the wallet?
have a question adam the dimension you made in this video are the same for the wallet you been carring around for 5 years i like the smaller version that you been carrying then the new one want to buy the pattern but want to make sure its for smaller not the larger thanks for your videos
Hello - I have both versions available on my website. Version 1 is the original smaller version that I personally carry, and Version 2 is the one shown in this video. www.adamsleatherworks.com/digital-patterns?Collection=Wallets
How does one get a wallet from you
I like to purchase the larger business card holder size. Is this the slim or Logan on your website. My business cards are 3.5” wide
Hi Nate - the wallets are roughly 4 3/8" wide and just under 3" tall when folded closed. I left enough room in the pattern to allow plenty of clearance between the stitches for a small stack of business cards. All of the wallets I currently have listed on my website use the same pattern. The "Logan" wallets are in-stock, while supplies last, and they're made with thicker oil tan leather. The "Slim 3-Pocket Wallet" is made with vegetable tanned leather and you can select the dye and thread colors, but they have a much longer lead time since I have to work them into my order queue.
New to leather but have a sewing machine, a good singer, how thick can a machine do before its punch and saddle
Hi Matthew - sorry for the delay. I'm not an expert about sewing machines, but some household machines can sew (very) thin leather, but they may need some assistance getting the stitch started. You'll want to make sure you're using appropriate leather needles. Thread thickness is another limiting factor. I sewed suede rifle rests on my wife's sewing machine for a while, and it handled it fine, but hers was built pretty well. Then I upgraded to a Consew 206. That was about 15 years ago though, and I sold that machine a few years later. Wish I still had it. They are so expensive now.
Beautiful vallet sir..I like it ..can I buy this??
Thank you! Here's a link to the product on my site. I don't have the color option that was shown in this video, but leave a note in the comment box when checking out requesting the color shown in the video and I'll make it with that leather (as long as I still have some left when you place your order, and I will if you order soon). www.adamsleatherworks.com/product-page/slim-3-pocket-wallet
What did you used for painting edges of pocket tell me name and price ple6
I dyed the edges with Fiebing's Pro Dye, and the color is Dark Brown. There's a link in the description.
GreatJob, from one Leather Smith, 2 another. If that's your place it looks very Peaceful. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
Thank you very much Jim! Yes, that’s a view from my back porch. Sun rises are amazing - I don’t always catch them, but try to film a little clip when I can. Caught an amazing lightning storm over DFW, but the video quality wasn’t great with my phone. Take care, Jim!
@@AdamsLeatherWorks Yes I agree, in fact I have a SUN SET on my phone's wall paper from outside my back patio. I am just 2 1/2 hrs. South of DFW. I only do CUSTOM LEATHER and teach leather craft. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
👍👍. What machine is it?
Cobra Class 4 from Leather Machine Company. Link in the description.

Can you send me some tools you don’t need plًٌ s
Are you flipping serious?! Asking people making UA-cam videos for free tools? Go out and get your own shit bro! These tools aren’t cheap (unless you buy from China) and nobody owes you a damn thing! This is literally the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen on UA-cam all week
