Making a Biker Wallet!

- In this video we build a biker wallet step by step using our new pattern templates. This wallet is a little more involved but is no more difficult than the other wallets and billfolds we have built on this channel. It features a zippered pouch, six card slots and several other pockets.
“Spend the money. Get the $2 zipper.”... my new life mantra... lol
The 4 people who disliked this video are not bikers. I just made my first wallet with this template set and it turned out great. I went out on a limb and made the card pockets out of a single piece of tyvek. Works great!
The question I had about those card pockets was I noticed that he didn't sew the card pockets. I'm wondering about how well the tape will hold up over time. Shouldn't they be sewn? I would sleep better knowing that my customers aren't going to have any issues with the tape giving away on those pockets. Other than that, awesome wallet design and templates.
@@dennyhazel I asked aaron and he said the tape only will last. It is a permenant hold. No sewing needed.
Thanks Aaron! Cant tell you enough how much I appreciate your videos, website and help on all the FB pages. You're an absolute blessing to the leather community!
I am glad I found this on here as most of the other videos I have seen do not explain what’s what. So thank you from Australia.
Thank you for explaining so simplistically. I really enjoy your templates and videos👏👏😀
I love that you put important info on your templates. Sets you above and apart from others - so well done. And as I have been seeing, your videos are so well done. So understandable and you’re so relatable. You really are an asset to our community. Thank you sir.
Thanks for making this video! Def cleared up some foggy spots for me. I ordered your template set today as well. Can't wait to get started on some wallets.
BenMx26 what is the website ???
Excellent, in-depth tutorial, with a lot of great tips....! Thank you.
Thank you for clarifying your templates with great videos
Que cartera tan elegante muy fina lo Félisto por su trabajos e a prendido de ustede mucho muchísimas gracias por sus bideos y k Dos lo bendiga sien eprendi es tamos en con tanto adiós
Hi really injoy this video
A recommended addition would be to add a leather security loop along the back as bikers prefer retention rings on a chain. This prevents loss of wallets while riding. It defeats the whole point of a biker wallet if you're not attaching one. My life experience anyway. I've also never carried a biker wallet the length of a women's clutch. Need to cut off about four inches on the length. As far as I'm aware, no bikers have pockets 13 inches deep. I've already made those modifications and it turned out great. Didn't need as much zipper length either. 5 inch zippers are so much easier to sew. Keep on crafting everyone.
Well, this video answered my question in the other video about finishing the stitching...lol. I like this pattern too. Thanks for the tutorial...
Totally enjoyed the video! Must have this template
Thank you, Aaron ... really enjoy your videos ...
Thank you!
That is a Great Wallet!
Terrific video - can't wait to make this wallet. You mentioned that you're using a splitter to thin your leather weight. Which splitter are you using at your shop? Thanks again for making this video, I learn a lot every time you release another!
Hi Jorge. We are dealers for the Leather Machine Company and use one of their Class 14 splitters. It is an amazing tool to have in the shop.
Hi Aaron. Thanks for this amazing video! Where can i buy the paper u use for the card slots??
Www.makersleathersupply.com. it's called Tyvek
...I found that if I took a bit of painter's tape and secured the flap part to the main body part of the template, it really helped to keep it from moving at all as you're cutting or tracing around it...
Sticking the zipper 35:05, pocket 19:15, card pockets 22:39, attach zipper piece to regular pocket 45:45
Also, you mentioned early in the video about doing some type of braided thing instead of a chain. I'm wondering if you ever did that and how it came out.
Hey Aaron, just wanted to say thanks for the different video you've made. I just started leather working last October. I just received my template set for this wallet, won't be my last purchase from Makers any time soon. Keep up the great work your doing in sharing knowledge. One question, would it be better to burnish the zipper "opening"(lol) before installing the zipper?
I have the biker wallet template. Could you show how to adapt the pocket style into t pockets ?
Hey Aaron.....on the zippered pocket, do you sew a stitch line further in so you don't sew over it in final assembly? Or is it double stitched?
Long haul truck drivers talk to themselves all the time, even when among people. I know from experience.
Yes they do im local and still talk to myself
Where you get the scalpel handle.. need one of those.. and the blades to go with it.
Need to make a drinking game whenever he says sooo!
Caution... you'll get DRUNK!

How did you punch the area from the outside underneath the zipper pouch and not go through the pouch? I see where the stitches would only go into the piece sewn to the zipper pouch and not the pouch itself.
Put a thick piece of leather in between the layers
Can you make a video of that leather rope/braid for the wallet
Could you do this with a double snap rather than the fold around strap/snap?
Obrigado irmão!
Good morning sir I have a question about the Biker wallet. I stayed up late last night finishing up mine and showed my wife and when she tried the zipper it was broken. I am not sure what happened to it between installation when it was working perfectly and finishing it up. Anyway my question is have you ever replaced a zipper in one and if so how did you do it?
I have not replaced one, seems the most thorough way to do it would be to open that pocket back up and install the new one the same as the first.
@@makersleathersupply1220 btw the wallet turned out great well for my skill level anyway. I have only been doing leather working for about a year
Hey on our template for the Biker wallet the piece for the gusset that attaches to the zipper pouch one of the corners is radiused the other is a squared corner is there a reason for this?
Where can I get the appropriate scalpel? I bought the template for this Wallet but I’m unable to cut the card slots from the template. Is any scalpel from Amazon sufficient?
They should work. Look for one with a #11 blade, that's what I use.
Where do you buy the zipper for the wallet? Is it 7 inch long and a number 5 size
It's called a dress zipper. Www.makersleathersupply.com
Great video! What is the thicknes of leather that you use for this wallet?
4-5oz exterior and 2-3oz interior.
Thanks! Will try:)
i want to make a wallet like this, but this day and age is hard to only have 6 cards. is there a way to add another card to it hold 12 more cards? or would there be a better pattern that is similar to this one that could work for me.
Lots of folks stuff more than 1 card per slot.
The card slots only hold together with the double-sided tape?
What happens when the tape goes off?
Hi Kris! We've been making wallets this way for bout 9 years and have had zero failures. If you're using the right tape it will work!
The tape is rock solid. I've used it on five wallets so far, with a variety of materials and none have failed.
Can I get a link for the Tyvek, I am getting all these other sites leading else where. It is the only material I need please and thank you.

The one you are using in the video or is it just a generic one modified?
Steve Rovito the one I use in the video is the same one we sell. I expoxied some wood to the sides of the handle and sanded and polished it all smooth.
Ahhhh ok looks good, thanks for replying :)
Great work! I'm Interested in template. What is the actual dimensions? Thanks!
you say this is s " Biker wallet" no no no slowly now..it looks more like grany hand bag to me ..where I'm from US Bikers don't carry wallets the size of a suit case are you crazy 😆😆😆😆😗😗😗😗😗
A little crazy I guess. I only rode for 20 years, so I may not know as much about bikers as you do.
I'm from ohio. And I drove a semi over the road for awhile. And I've always seen them as a biker/ trucker wallets.🤷♂️. But I think most bikers nowadays are switching to the front wallet/ minimalist wallets. I tried it for awhile and didnt like it so I bought this template.
