Making of the Lloyd Coat Wallet

To learn some more about the maker, training courses and book please see saddlestitch.c.... To learn how to make a wallet of your own see our course here saddlestitch.c...
The design and creation process of the Lloyd Coat wallet has been a long one. Based upon the design of a 1950s wallet owned by Charlie's Grandfather, the first and most important part of our job was not to spoil the beautiful lines of the original, but to bring the design up to date, the original having been designed in a world before credit cards or other such things. A design on paper isn't the end of the story though, and the complex shapes and construction had to be brought together into a single beautiful object, with each element adding to the form, as well as the function of the finished piece. The result is a traditional wallet, the largest in our Lloyd series, but sharing the same beautiful curves that run throughout. Each one takes more than a days work to create, with every stitch meticulously done by hand, but we hope as a result will be passed down the generation as was the original the design is based on.

[@TheSighphiguy]

beautiful work, but why a 6+ minute video with no payoff at the end showcasing the finished product?

[@Clide0_0]

Baghuul its really not...

[@TheParanoidGiraffe]

But they tease you with the build up and close-ups and don't give you the final release of seeing the finished product

[@kwetsig3504]

They're showcasing the craftsman's skill, not the product.

[@TheSighphiguy]

KwetsiG they cant tack a 20-30 second reveal at the end?

[@fritzcolburn]

Nevermind the amazing craftsmanship. The video presentation alone was worth the view.

[@rosenvitae]

This video made me realize that I should really pursue delicate craftsmanship of some sort.

[@julianrain6467]

Didn't know Zachary Quinto is now making wallets.

[@andrewblackmon1574]

Julian Rain this is what happens after he goes bald.

[@rodrigoanaya4053]

That was my exact first thought when I saw this guy xD

[@clubpenguin32able]

Haha, I thought the same as well.

[@chelyzmarx7477]

sylar is really crafty

[@davephilpott]

Same.

[@ranzvannllido9768]

This makes me cry since my Bespoke leather wallet was stolen inside a mall. The craftsmanship in to these handmade crafts is so magnificent.

[@TheSleepysleep]

This guy put more care and attention into making that one wallet than I did on all of my years of schooling combined.

[@niptodstan]

You should do guitar straps. They would sell. When a guitar is £10-20k a strap made like this would be perfect.

[@samrice1151]

Yes this is a very good idea put small pockets for picks and spare strings into it too to combine wallet with strap

[@gezdonaghy2456]

This wallet from the design stage to the finest finishing is simply world class. The level of skill demonstrated is frightening. If you have ever tried your hand at leather craft you will appreciate every detail of this build. 🙌stunning👌

[@Sushi_bar]

Lol look guys it's Zachary Quinto!

[@Th3Pr0digalS0n]

Sushi Addict yes I was thinking that as well

[@annoingdude]

bluemonkey223 any one else notice the final fantasy X theme?

[@Njennings42]

I was thinking the same thing! I didn't realize the guy's name though, I was just thinking; Hey, it's Sylar from Heroes!

[@Desklamp1234]

Nathan Jennings sylar was such a horrible guy! preferred him as spock

[@neurocosm]

DUDE.... SYLAR! :D

[@ER-ck4ri]

Quality over quantity this is amazing the amount of time you take on a single wallet

[@saddlestitch]

Good not fast etc..

[@xxxxxPr0xxxxx]

when you really need an A in the schoolproject

[@alexandrafitzgibbons2870]

Hello from Boston! Thank you for your beautiful videos, you are an artist. Your videos were the start of my inspiration to take up leather-craft and I will be starting my own small business soon!

[@Feintgames]

Do you make a nylon and Velcro version of that? I like the Velcro closure to keep my arcade membership card safe.

[@abdulqahmed]

Feint troll of the year goes to Feint Troll

[@saphc8467]

Who needs machines when their are truely gifted people out there who can make beautiful pieces like this i always go for quality not quantity you get what you pay for and i'd buy a handmade wallet over machine made one anyday beautiful work you should be proud ☺

[@LoganTanner]

No finished product shot at the end!? You're killing me.

[@Alex-1611]

Gotta buy it to find out lol

[@Penguin_of_Death]

I take it you've never heard of search engines then? It's really not that difficult...for most of us... www.equusleather.co.uk/the-lloyd-coat-wallet.html

[@TheLyricsGuy]

@@Penguin_of_Death The point is that we shouldn't have to. The entire video is about making a wallet. And then they don't even show the wallet. That's fucking horse shit.

[@nireeburr]

He has shown my point .. saddle stitching always looks better & it’s a craft!! Thx you

[@PrinceFlumph]

This was so peaceful I actually passed out x3

[@vaporskillz]

is it just me or did this remind anyone of the scene where that old guy is repairing woody after his arm got ripped by the prospector?

[@lilylola318]

Brendony Haha! I thought I was the only one.😂

[@NJtuber88]

But seriously to watch a master work their craft be it auto repair, cooking, tailoring, wood work, or leather work is awesome!

[@Atlas92936]

To everyone arguing: People can do whatever they want with their money. It won't affect you. I'm sure you won't lose an hour of sleep. If you want to pay that much, that's fine. If you don't want to pay that much, that's fine. For those acting hostile over the way someone else chooses to spend their money (cheap or expensive), I feel sorry for you.

[@Atlas92936]

If I buy one of these, they'll be going in the pocket of my 30$ H&M jeans :P

[@rico9163]

Wadud Khan what the rich do with their money DEFINITELY affects you and I

[@dirtroaddesigns4888]

And what wealthy and moderately wealthy pay in taxes affect people also and no one ever cares to mention that. If someone pays as much taxes as I do then no damn body has the right to shame me about what I spend the rest of my money on.

[@Undomaranel]

@@rico9163 But it's not always the rich. Sometimes the poor scrounge and save for special occasions; ever read Gift of the Magi? Sometimes people splurge for a costume or a gift or just because they want something cool or useful or a talking point or to support an artisan. Sometimes the rich flaunt. There is an overall effect of money being tossed around. It determines what products are available and who owns what item(s). The money traded by the rich then go into the hands of those who managed and/ or created the products, with a tax to the government that (ideally) protects the practice(s). What other effects are you reffering to?

[@AsthamaticWarHorse]

he looks like Tom cruise in tropic thunder

[@dominickfulco]

I don’t why, but to me this is so innocent and it makes me happy and warm inside.

[@cheaneysaddles]

Tremendous amount of time and effort in designing and making this wallet.

[@xXDigitalAirXx]

So are we just gonna pretend like this isn't Spock when he gets older and settles down?

[@Lady_dromeda]

The care put into making it 😍 I need to start putting that much effort into my art.

[@SpErMin4t0r]

amazing, it only took him 6 min.

[@Aikhi]

No tf, most of the process is cut out.

[@Anastas1786]

I think your joke detector's on the blink again, Goatyx.

[@cmoore7780]

Bet that shop smells SO good!

[@saddlestitch]

It does if you're a visitor, we only smell it if we've been away on holiday now. Sad but true!

[@kushkamble2027]

Glad I'm not rich enough to buy this but poor and free enough to watch and appreciate the work

[@augmentedleather5432]

This 1 video inspired me to start leather work, thank you, beautiful video.

[@saddlestitch]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and for being inspired :-)

[@tomybaskoro4676]

oh my god, still stoked to watch your videos, its twice, and im still amazing how you create and finishing, nice videos edit btw. keep it up 🙌

[@Mattjpeg]

Wow, Stanley Tucci is such a talented man.

[@colinmurphy2214]

Definitely looking into buying from you guys. Louis Vuitton and Hermès aspire to your level of craftsmanship

[@saddlestitch]

Thank you for the kind words! Here to help if you need it!

[@thetalkingtruth]

It is hopeful to see that we still have some people who enjoy the use of their own hands, their own eyesight, their own beautiful brains to produce fine work. We are being forced to depend so much on mechanical stuff that we forget our own god given abilities.

[@conecturs]

My god, its sylar!

[@ColemanOutdoors]

conecturs I guess he moved on from watches. Dare I say....he's lost hair from the stress related to time piece repair?

[@jaslevartri]

That was the same thing that I was thinking!! cx

[@apheanzzex6856]

conecturs hahahaha thanks for making me realise it

[@moz7738]

I don't know just as good a pieces being made by people that don't take themselves so seriously.

[@dylanbennett5852]

I have a friend who works at McDonald's and he buys shit like this. He happens to really enjoy some of life's finer things. He's single, lives in the somewhat nicer apartments in my area. His apartment is very modern looking and if you had to guess by the way he dresses, the brands he wears, where he lives, and all that you'd assume he had some big wig corporate job and not McDonald's. The funny thing is I know people are gonna call bull shit but in reality, if you're smart, you'll know that you don't have to be rich to have nice things. Just work hard, spend wisely, make sacrifices, save what you can when you can and most importantly don't pay any attention to Joe shmo up the road who always has the latest and greatest because then you'll compete and then when you finally do make that purchase on whatever it is you've been saving for it won't feel as good as it should because I can almost guarantee that mr shmo has already upgraded and now you're competing again. Moral of my statement is pay no attention to anyone else and do what makes you happy. For most people they are there own biggest downfall.

[@DB-ky3dv]

Hello From Paris ! you are so right ...

[@Jafmanz]

yeah he slaves away at burgers so he can look like he owns a bank.. what a nob!

[@adamcoyne230]

Dylan Bennett yea not to mention he gets to snag chicken nuggets and fries on the daily....priceless.

[@tehhawtstuff]

All I got from this was that you work at McDonald's

[@UDEMF]

Well pretty sure this was YOU :) and behind your advice i can feel some bitter sorry shits from you :)) , now go make me a double cheese burger, then you can get on yt and talk shit again

[@MAXIMUMTOLERANCE]

beautiful craftsmanship.👍👍👍👍👍

[@deanchristopher1697]

Beautiful work.

[@jonnywaselectric]

how many hours in that one item? nice video, it is fun to see a craftsman at work

[@saddlestitch]

There will be somthing like 10 - 12 hours work in a piece like this, depending on the details

[@jonnywaselectric]

[@saddlestitch]

Not at all, thank you for watching

Is the fella making it Lloyd Coat? Either way, he makes a damn fine wallet.

[@RazeDee]

This was nicely done

[@cruzyman812]

Loved the video (don't know why it showed up in my recommended) but I think maybe a 30 sec clip of some Glamour shots of the finished wallet would be nice.

[@SuperDancingdevil]

In these days of mass produced crap it’s so nice to see that traditional crafts are still being used to create things of beauty and style that will last a lifetime.

[@saddlestitch]

Thank you :-)

[@putther]

Makes you understand why some items are so expensive. The amount of time, dedication and detail is truly amazing.

[@putther]

***** I agree, but depends on how deep the consumers pockets are. For someone well off, it wouldn't hurt their bank account.

[@saddlestitch]

This is true to a degree. What we do would have been less unusual 100 years ago, but it would still have been top end, expensive stuff. The wallet we based the design of this one on was machine stitched and it was made in the 50s and came from somewhere smart in London so even then speed of production was a major factor, probably along with a skill shortage caused by the wars.

[@josearturo3576]

Putther loool i never expected to see you here, true fan!

[@huertaguy2000]

Equus Leather what's the song?

[@barahng]

Child laborers aren't making high quality leather wallets. Either robots or highly skilled artisans make them.

[@Kjbt70]

That wallet costs more money than I'll ever have in a wallet

[@Cricket101382]

480?!! Who the fuck needs a wallet that expensive? I can make one out of Duct tape that will last me like 10 years or more.

[@KCisScreaming]

Cricket101382 I wouldnt spend that much on a wallet but these will last a long time and are handmade. They're obviously VERY good quality...

[@fa5234]

Nope the one shown is in alligator skin and cost 1535 euros.

[@Cricket101382]

Waste of money.

[@TurkIsAwesome]

you can drive around a 26 year old banged up toyota camry or you can drive a bugatti. you can use a duct tape wallet or use a hand crafted alligator skin wallet. you can wear a macy's suit or you can wear a hand made italian or turkish suit. its these choices that separate common folk and the rich / the luxury enthusiasts (or the stupid common folk that wanna look rich and save 2 months just to buy a belt)

[@beyondflatwhite]

a leather smith with such pretty fingers? me calls bull on that!

[@saddlestitch]

and yet that wallet was made with those fingers!

[@lucascornelisse6896]

your just a clumsy worker

[@justaman-km1hl]

Equus Leather nice work. I could use some water proof seamed moccasins.

[@saddlestitch]

***** Thank you! Do waterproof mocassins even exist??

[@justaman-km1hl]

Equus Leather well, they used to and may still, mucklucks are traditionally seal skin with sinew sown waterproof seamed boots, they aren't really moccasins, although the terms may have a common etymology. The Eskimo and Innuit made them, I hope some still do. You could have been a surgeon, most people can't find their own ass with both hands, much less craft/create something of quality, but then few actually know quality when it pugnaciously slaps the stew out of them. Sad really. Nevertheless, do not despair, a Renaissance returns. Thanks for the reply. All the best.
