Making A Motorcycle Wallet with A Secret Pocket!
This custom leather wallet was handmade for a customer of ours. The Wallet is a version of our motorcycle-style wallet, with a whole ton of storage for credit cards, cash, and receipts.
This motorcycle wallet is made with vegetable tanned leather and hand sewn with a saddle stitch. We used 2-5oz leather throughout, and finished the edges buy burnishing and applying bee's wax.
Making this motorcycle wallet pattern is an intermediate project, it is not super difficult you've just got to install the pockets in the correct order. The secret pocket is actually the connection between the top cash slot and the bottom one - you just sew it in a way that creates a hidden pocket to store credit cards, cash, or folded paper !
Making this motorcycle wallet is a great way to practice making larger leather crafting pieces. It is a great unisex design, and can be made with our without the snap depending on what sort of style you'd like the finished piece to have.

I’ve been watching your videos for the last few weeks and have purchased some leather working tools. My father had this as a hobby when I was growing up and I never really paid it any mind. He has been gone for 15 years now. Thank you for sharing these videos, and thank you for the spark to go get started.

[@Corter]

Ahhh so happy to hear that! If you've got any questions when you get started leave us a comment on any video - happy to help, it's such a wonderful hobby :)

[@LulaBelleToo]

Beautiful leather! Love how Cooper wants to get in on all the action! ☺

[@Corter]

He's quickly become quite the little shop helper :)

[@rosalindnewman1254]

I love that Cooper has a starring role. 🐾 Will he be in every video?

[@Corter]

He's taken a liking to shop life so I'm sure he'll have many cameos from now on!

[@CantrellLeatherGoods]

Very neat design. Love the hidden card slot. Cooper is so adorable! What a great helper. 😆😁

[@beckyezra1]

love your assistants the cat and the dog :)

[@robertmansell3667]

True dedication you even have a leather cat!😀

[@whazee]

Patiently waiting to see the leather cat collar. The leather cat carrier. The leather cat toy. 😅 Go on!

[@Corter]

Harness is the first one we've got planned, just started training him to wear one and as soon as he's good to go and stops growing we'll make him a leather one :)

[@silverpromidi]

@@Corter you guys are lucky he gives you Cattitude, mine just lays down and his body language says 'take me for a drag if you insist'

[@xxxorg]

how about a leather coat, with the hair on! :)

[@PomNaoo]

Love the Cooper cameo!

[@rozsmith8278]

Can we see a custom leather cat collar being made for Cooper please?

[@cocheeze69]

Great design! Thank you for sharing!

[@rebeccaelliott4261]

You make it look so easy! When I watch your videos I always think “This looks fun, I could do this!” 😄 I feel like I want to try a small project, maybe like finish a needlepoint keychain or something small!

[@Corter]

Thank you! you should give it a go, it's a super fun craft :)

[@acigarsmoker]

Awesome design and another great build!

[@user-ix5lf6hj1j]

As always, the result is amazing!

[@IrisHijne]

I really like how you use the different layers of leather and the stitching to create that effect of how it opens on the side which has the hidden pocket (I don't know how to call this).

[@traceyellison3357]

SO RELAXING WATCHING YOU DO YOUR INCREDIBLE WORK, THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS AMAZING VIDEO I REALLY ENJOYED IT

[@Corter]

Thanks Tracey! Hope you're well!

[@traceyellison3357]

Fantastic! In for one pattern. 😁

[@adamcurran8570]

Where do you get conchos with your logo? That adds a really nice touch.

[@nobracobra]

nice... would you happen to have a vid of a similar wallet (with the snap) with a zip installed tyfs

[@gaylemora1390]

I would love it in pink suede

[@ozzymandus3865]

Nice job and your cat reminds me of Smeagol. 😂

[@xxxorg]

Great work, I really love your work!! Can you slow down the video when you stitch so I can see exactly how you do it? You’re using two needles?

[@stanervin6108]

Katza trip!

[@nobracobra]

im itchin to create a similar wallet as this with the snap but also with a zip compartment

[@jimdenny7660]

There looks to be a washer of some type between the the two pieces of leather where the snap is to be installed. Is that just another piece of leather shaped like a washer? Do you just glue it in place? When making the card pockets in line, do you use a spacer in the pocket? It looks puffed up a bit to make room for the cards. Thank you.

[@lapicoltricemaldestra6364]

Hi..can you tell what it is that you use for the back of the leather?

[@tmpecho]

When is the leather house coming?

[@Ynobe513]

Wow...love it. Can u make a gun holster? Thank again for another great upload

[@Corter]

neither of us use them so probably not, but thanks!

[@jonaspereira6944]

Você pode me dizer aarca da cola e onde se compra?

[@antiokus3332]

So how do we figure out where the other part of the snap goes? May be a simple question but I'm new to this stuff.

[@ryanwdmn]

Hi there ....amazing video and product ...how can I order this exact same piece ?

[@ra8620]

So passionate

[@dangvalverde]

I just recently ran across this tutorial that was made 4 years ago without any voice instructions. It's a great design. Is there any chance that you could remake the video with voice instructions?

[@user-mm1nh1jn9j]

класс и кошка с собакой!

[@uuuuu377]

What kind of glue did you used?

[@BelindaLoveLee]

Okkkk but how do you free hand xcato knife it?! That's some talented skill cause I would have such wonky lines without a ruler!

[@Corter]

Thank you! lots and lots of practice over the last 12 years :)

[@AntonioHernandez-yg3xs]

Is there a way to see the opposite side of the wallet to see how you did the stitching around the strap where the hidden pocket is please I'm confused

[@DanielCooper1]

KITTY! (Cooper's got a great name. IJS)

[@casillasisrael614]

If we order the pattern does it come with a size chart or a measurement point to know we printed it out to the right size??

[@Corter]

yep! Size verification on every page

[@kubao.5597]

Nice one, but do you put anything on that wallet when it's done,e.g. Acrylic Resolene? I can't imagine carrying a wallet made from raw veg tan. I understand natural look and I really like it, but a single drop of rain would leave a stain forever :)

[@Corter]

You can use whatever conditioner you prefer - on our personal pieces we usually tan them in the sun for a day then apply mink oil and Obenaufs, but we send them out to our customers completely natural so that they can treat the piece however they'd like. We don't use any acrylics or paints or anything though, just natural oils and wax pastes so that the patina can develop over time

[@krayzyr1]

Where can I buy a wallet like this.

[@leeioh]

Where is a good place to get quality leather skins? I need some leather for some projects.

[@Corter]

There's a link in the description to get all the materials we use including hides!

[@zband9016]

Oooo, I spy a shop kitty! Does shop kitty micro manage the work?

[@delimaPE]

👏👏👏

[@KaramKaram-tk9ge]

Hello please ....From where can i buy this tip of leather????? Thank you ......

[@Corter]

first link in the description will bring you to where we get it!

[@mrkendozful]

What kind of leather do you use?

[@Corter]

This is Hermann Oak Natural Vegetable Tanned leather

[@tabeajo6015]

Do you ever use dyed leather?

[@Corter]

yep! we like the way you can see the stitching and details on camera with natural veg, but we make a full product line of products in dyed leathers for our website

[@alel3847]

👍👍👍

[@louiegarcia5598]

Can you send me the pattern

[@Stevsean8921]

Will you be willing to say where you get your custom snaps from?

[@gaylemora1390]

Need a grommet for a chain

[@Corter]

You could add one no prob, there's a spot for it! The customer requested no grommet as she'll be carrying it in a purse :)

[@ai5085]

In my opinion the button is too big? ps cat and dog are good!

[@anilbasumatary9263]

👌✌👍

[@ak49]

What will you do with your cat's skins when it dies?

[@MissGroves]

No job complete without cat help

[@25ksubswithnovideoschallen26]

turn that cat into a wallet please

[@pilesofpoodles4954]

We know you secretly have dies for everything you luxurious bastard.. Teehee.. The custom hardware is really clever.. When I look at large scale commercial productions, it's the first thing I notice too.

[@Corter]

All our production stuff is die cut, no shame in that game :) But I reckon we'd go broke getting dies for every KZbin video! Thanks for the kind words!

[@pilesofpoodles4954]

Corter Leather I bought your hammer btw.. The unique grip is really useful. Did you dress both sides?

[@jakub8819]

[@luxurycardstore]

OMG I feel bad saying this, but I have to get it out. THAT CAT IS JUST PLAIN CREEPY!!! I love cats, but this one just gives me the willies looking at him. I'm sure you adore him or you wouldn't have gotten him, but OMG - let's just say that hairless cats aren't for everyone. Even some people that actually like cats might be a little freaked out about him. I love the leather work though

[@Corter]

No worries! Their looks aren't for everyone, I happen to love them and have 3 now but it's ok not to like how they look! It's certainly a shock to see one unexpectedly - just know that they have the sweetest personalities ever, so if you meet one be prepared for lots of head scratches and purring :)

[@victorkulakou3094]

You put the wallet at the end of the video on an item not accidentally, l think. That the ultimate wallet for everyday. So, please, next time make it for us. With respect.
