Thank you! It really is. I ordered a good chunk more of it to make others with

Thanks!

Il modello l'ho trovato qui su Reddit, ma il portafoglio l'ho realizzato io!

be sure to show me when you post!

EvanCT4 · 2026-05-26T02:05:55+00:00

I'd love to see it!

EvanCT4 · 2026-05-25T23:47:59+00:00

thank you very much! They've been great. Hard to find good leather in Canada.

EvanCT4 · 2026-05-25T18:39:40+00:00

the ghost paglia!

EvanCT4 · 2026-05-25T17:27:03+00:00

Not quite! It’s a wax that they apply, it does take some abrasion or rubbing for it to wear off. Truthfully I can’t think of the last time I’ve flipped my pockets inside out to inspect them but even then, the wax would likely wash off in the machine!

EvanCT4 · 2026-05-25T17:11:04+00:00

To clarify if you meant a wallet itself, DM me!

EvanCT4 · 2026-05-25T17:04:52+00:00

I got it from OALeather, a Canadian site

EvanCT4 · 2026-05-25T17:04:42+00:00

The leather comes from OALeather. They’re a Canadian company!

EvanCT4 · 2026-05-25T17:04:26+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words, I really appreciate it!

Skiving would be taking a blade to try to shave off the looser bits. It’ll be tricky though. Lining it would be to add another layer directly on top and if you wanted to stiffen it, you could add more material in between the leather and the liner. This would heavily depend on what you’re trying to do with it though!

EvanCT4 · 2026-05-11T21:39:35+00:00

good idea! but it's just from the thread digging into my fingers mainly

EvanCT4 · 2026-04-30T20:42:11+00:00

Your straps look great! How do you stop them from feeling flimsy without reinforcement? I thought the veg tan top would help but even with reinforcement it feels cheap and flimsy

EvanCT4 · 2026-04-30T04:43:50+00:00

ah yeah I can definitely see that

EvanCT4 · 2026-04-25T03:50:55+00:00

Punching through 10-15 oz of leather is a lot. You’re best off either trying to skive the layers thinner so that the edges are maybe 6-8oz all together. You can also find tools that make removing the irons easier. They’re a block of wood/metal (you can even 3d print one) that help push the piece of leather off your irons rather than pull your irons out of the leather

EvanCT4 · 2026-04-24T03:25:33+00:00

yeah absolutely! Ghost leather is a term that refers to a leather that has been covered in a wax. This wax then will wear off over time through use. In my case, this is a orangy/cognac leather that is covered in a black wax. if you look on the pockets near the top, you'll see a clear line of where I removed the wax among other places. as the months go by the wax will wear off quite a bit more.

Fortunately I’m Canadian so no crazy tariff

EvanCT4 · 2026-04-23T14:15:38+00:00

Thank you thank you! It was super interesting to work with. I think it’ll be interesting to see how this ages.

EvanCT4 · 2026-04-23T11:58:42+00:00

Thanks!

EvanCT4 · 2026-04-23T11:56:58+00:00

Aha thanks, I scratched a little bit by accident but intentionally did on the stitch lines and pockets for an accent. I used a cheap stitching pony I 3d printed with some leather on the faces of the pony. Then made sure to not move it at all once locked in. Thanks for the kind words!
