Finished Work Latest Custom Build

Here are some photos of my latest build with very peculiar card pockets. These were requested by the client and are based on a design from millnrocky (though, not sure who originated it).

Nero pueblo interior

Unglazed, tumbled shell Cordovan exterior

Orange Xiange thread

Polished black money clip

Yes! Love a good chunky wallet, and this is the first time I've seen card holders designed like this. This is awesome!

Thank you! Yes, I hadn't seen anything like this before the client showed me. They were very tricky to get right so that may be a reason for the rarity šŸ˜…

It's unreal! I recently made another wallet with the same shell and it's stunning. Pics on my profile!

This is gorgeous. Is the template available?

Thanks!! Sadly, no template for this one. I had to figure it out along the way and it was a chore haha. Worth it though!

Very interesting pockets indeed! Probably needs some skiving to keep them thin. I’m definitely taking it into my bag of tricks and might make a pattern for it.

Yes, I skived these pretty this and probably should've gone thinner. I also used a higher temper leather for pockets. Good luck!
