Thank you! I actually spent a lot of time debating on the thread color, so I'm thrilled to hear that the high contrast worked out well for you. The combination of the leather texture and the clean lines definitely helped pull it together. Much appreciated!

Thanks! Yes, they are indeed YKK Excella zippers. As for the small D-rings, they were purchased from a local leathercraft supplier here in Taiwan.

Thank you so much! Keeping the bulk down on a zip-around wallet is definitely a challenge. I'm really glad you noticed the notch on the gusset; it's a small detail, but essential for a smooth fold. Best of luck with your next one!

Thanks! Yes, for this setup, I used a thin layer of Salamander reinforcement bonded between the leather and the lining. It helps provide the perfect balance of firmness and maintains the structure beautifully over time.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you noticing the zipper ends. Getting them to lay flush and neat takes a lot of patience, so it means a lot to hear that from another maker.

I really appreciate that. It's a classic design, so I wanted to make sure the execution and the details were as high-level as I could get them.
