This wallet is hand cut, hand stitched and hand finished. It’s made with Epi and Wickett & Craig glazed harness leathers. The edges are especially sanded and painted to get that super smooth look. These things are a labor of love. They take me about a week to make including old man nap breaks.
Happy to answer any questions or get your feedback.

Oh fuck, dude… those painted edges… immaculate.
OldManLeatherHobby
Thanks for noticing. Edges are always so hard for me to get right.

Checked out your profile. Amazing stuff.
OldManLeatherHobby
Thanks! These wallets are the most time consuming. The other stuff is fun too. you'd never guess my favorite thing to make.... dog collars.

Hey @op. I’ve PM you. Doesn’t look like your shop ships over seas. Any chance you’d be able to ship to Norway?
OldManLeatherHobby
Yes, I can do that.
oioifuglen
Cool. How do I go about ordering an item?

I like how Ben Franklin looks like he's peeking over his neighbors fence and about to give him some advice. Great job!

Finally a handmade wallet that doesn't look like it was made in a high school leather making class. Nice

Most of them are probably made from prison labor if they say they’re “made in the US”

Lovely work. I like the placement of the Benjamin peeking out.
OldManLeatherHobby
thank you :)
IJustReallyLikeFrogs
Yknow the pores(or what they are) on the table thing gives me goosebumps.
OldManLeatherHobby
ostrich skin! It has an unusual look for sure.
thewizdad
Nice edges! <= One of the best complements from one leather-crafter to another.
OldManLeatherHobby
Man, that is so true. Edges are very time consuming for me.

I too wanted to make my own c-notes by hand, but apparently that is illegal. Like very illegal. Which is weird, because someone makes them.

I've got one that when you open it up there's a B&W photo of the 3 Stooges laughing and saying "Nyuck nyuck nyuck, you thought you found

ten bucks!" (It's a $100). Can't bring myself to trick even a friend/family member with it though. Super old.
TheMeatIncident
put some RFID in it and ill buy it from you if you throw it up on etsy or something
Nanuek
There's no harm in RFID blocking, but there's also no benefit. It's a placebo for technophobes
ATLandNerdy
Waskerd on Etsy does things like this. I bought a wallet from him in 2018, and so far it seems like it's going to last a while longer.
Rauca
I should bloody hope so! I have an El Charro wallet from the "90s and it is still in perfect order. Used every day
FlakyPastryCrust
Is having the RFID technology really necessary? Asking honestly. It's that big of a problem?
bazookasoup
Why do you want RFID blocker? If you have more than one chip in the wallet, it cant be read anyway.
shamanlvr
I didn't know just having more than one solved this!
bazookasoup
Easy way to confirm it: try just pushing your wallet on the card reader when making a purchase.
Relikar
RFID Blocking is pointless, nobody has ever been victim of RFID theft.
SirBagels
This is so wrong it's funny. People steal rfid all the time, from credit cards to access cards, they're all targets

Adding material that will block some radio frequencies so that you can't make contactless payments through the wallet
cobrien77
Just out of interest, what’s your wtp? I think you and op are on a different page, this would and should cost more than a Vuitton wallet
OldManLeatherHobby
What is wtp?

Plus, judging from the last pic, ops a real boy
Merkava250
Had to scroll back down and upvote.
OldManLeatherHobby
That's a good idea! Maybe on the next one. I'm sure I can find RFID blocking material.
reallynotalex
This day in age, why would you even have an RFID credit card you need to shield? Either get a normal card or use your phone’s digital wallet
TheMentallyillist
Yes, yes, yes, do it! You could charge much more for it and yeah, I’d buy it. What is RFID, btw?
thanksihateitleather
Tandy leather has it!
gregordot
Weaver’s has some
reallynotalex
Thanks for adding the words “blocking material” so many goons wanting an “RFID wallet” when they mean they want a shielded one.
BigSausagePizzaa
I know it’s Amazon but maybe you could slip something like this between the layers you stitch together? NICE JOB BTW!! Link in reply.
dekket
Same. I'll have one too.
shakedownblues
Sign me up for this as well! Another option you could consider is making one that holds a phone!
OldManLeatherHobby
A king sized one!
BabiesAreGreatMedRare
Hit me up when you post these for sale. This is right up my style, and my current one is starting to wane.
OldManLeatherHobby
That one is for sale… https://CustomLeatherAndPen.com/PCP ??
ATLandNerdy
If your interested in someone that's made this into a profitable enterprise, look up Waskerd on Etsy. He's a good example of leatherworking
OldManLeatherHobby
Cool. Thank you
iCHACHA
I’d like to buy one as a gift for my husband so let me j is if you put it on ETSY or if your selling in general
OldManLeatherHobby
I have this one on my website https://CustomLeatherAndPen.com/PCP if you are interested
TikeMoney
Count me in, I’ll buy one. Looks super nice! Bravo on the craftsmanship
OldManLeatherHobby
Thank you :)
OgreMkV
Same. I'll take one with the blocking material. More than likely it's just a thin copper mesh.
Hellhound863
Aluminum mesh in between the back plate of the wallet will RFID block, from what I've researched while making leather wallets
Zeus541
What is bad about RFID and why do people need to block signals in their wallets?
TheNameIWantedWasTakenSoIEndedUpWithThisOneInStead
Small amounts can be paid without contact or PIN with debet cards that have RFID. In theory, someone could steal up to €50 without 1/2
Hellhound863
Some people's cards have RFID chips in them which if you get a portable scanner you can just steal their card info, which is obvious bad lol
Hellhound863
Hope that helps
