The BEST (and WORST) Leather Pocket Styles
Making Pockets in your leather crafting projects can be a bit confusing, so in this video we walk you through 3 of the most popular types of leather wallet techniques. we show you how to do the T pocket (probably the most popular), the french style overlapping pocket, and our least favorite not-so-lovingly-dubbed the Lazy Pocket (not a great design).
We've included a free pattern featuring the overlap pocket design, and if you'd like to make a bifold wallet with T pockets the second link will bring you to that - every pattern with pockets on our website features T pockets as well so you can pick and choose if you want to try different styles!
I cannot say often enough how much we learn with each video. I'm so grateful I found your channel! I just started out working with leather and you're literally my remote teacher. Thank you!
Cannot WAIT for the Corter Pounder and brass blade holder to come out! Seeing them in the videos has me dreaming.
Just finished the video - convicted to keep learning more because I learned so much in this video alone. Thanks, Eric!
for some reason i thought you were going to talk about the shape of the top of pocket, meaning dont make it in the shape of a W, but this was cool too, would be nice if you had somewhere for us to post our creations that your videos helped us make, personally because of your videos i have ALOT of card holders, and i just finished a tote bag with a liner I made for my wife. Thank you very much, your videos are clear and very easy to follow.
I don't work in leather but do enjoy watching you so very much.. Maybe one day
Shout out to Blockbuster!!! Love that use of cards
Good video. I think that lazy pocket (without the lining) would be okay on a one or maybe 2 card wallet. If the depth wasn't deeper than one card, then you'd be okay. Not that I would do it that way, but yeah, could work.
Wait are there people who make card slots without a nylon backing?
Unfortunately *vomit*
This is what i thought. to me that was an unjust thing to bring up. you dont have a resource for this method so why even mention it.
i use that method and use tyvex and it works very well but that is someone elses idea and not this subject.
Yes, and is stylist!
Thank You Corter Leather, very well explained!!!
Love videos with the thinking/reasoning behind design and functionality 👌
Gotta hold those Blockbuster cards somewhere!
This is fantastic information, it help us to make it. Thank you!
love your content from canada :D keep up the good work
Thanks for the great vid!!
Amazing!!!
Excellent. Thank for sharing your knowledge.
what kind of leather do you use for the pockets? I cannot find this kind of leather anywhere
The free link has a charge to it. Where can I acquire the free pattern. Thank you
This was really helpful. Thank you!
We always use lazy pocket with nylon inside, much faster to make
Superb what an amazing video thank you
I only saw simple wallets on your site.
Super useful, guys! Thanks:)
Very informative, thank you!
Thank you, that told me a lot about why you set up the pockets the way you do. I could see the lazy pocket working for 1 or 2 pockets, if the top pocket did not have the room to let the card go all the way in. Another video with a lot of great information.
I see those lazy pockets on patterns and I go, "What keeps the cards from slipping down?" Sewing nylon on the back seems like it is harder.
I don't know why, but i am so intimidated by these pockets. It is the only reason i haven't made a traditional bifold yet
In the words of the Frizz. Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy!
What's the name / brand of glue he uses?
how to I keep those tools sharp??
mine are terrible
1. Sharpen your tools
2. Maintain tool edge with a leather strop
Fantastic 😍
Hello sir how we make homemade glue for leather
love the vid, but give me the intel on those metal split rings you had incomming
they've arrived! just packing them up and making a few videos about how to have your own made, etc - they should be available soon if you're looking for a set of ours :)
Is that an antique Blockbuster card??😮
who else finds leather fascinating
For purchase I mean
А в каком месте у вас FREE PATTERN?
2nd.
I've been with this channel for a while now and I miss the good old times before this was "Weaver Leather Supply - The Channel". I understand you want to make money, need to make money even, but you have several videos where making money or talking, directly or not, about money seems to be the main point, and it's just...tacky.
And then you got that tryhard stuff you sometimes do in seeding the comments with questions like "How much would YOU pay for X?". Most of those blatantly "give me money" videos always have top comments mentioning this. Just try to make good content and the rest will take care of itself. Right now it seems like you are just running down a checklist titled "How to maximize your youtube revenue"...
Hey there! i'm so sorry you feel that way, and I appreciate the feedback. I'm just a little confused because we don't talk about making money at all in this video? The first pattern linked in this video is free, it doesn't cost any money and you don't have to sign up for anything or do anything else to download it.
I'd love to take your criticism constructively to make our videos better if you could offer some clarification, I just can't remember doing many of the things you're mentioning - We don't leave any top comments or pin comments for example (that would be super tryhard, I agree with you lol). Are you referring to a different channel maybe?
I've watched a zillion Corter videos. He almost never talks about money. Your comments baffle me.
Go home Dr Kutulu! You’re drunk!
I am beginning in the amazing world of the leathercrafting and your channel is very interesting and useful for me 😄😀
Thanks bro
Same! Best of luck to you @Andro62! And thank you, @Corter Leather for your help!
How do you choose your leather type and weight for these type of projects? You always make such beautiful products!!!
You’ll get a feel for it. I use veg tan for 90% of everything I do. Definitely for anything tooled, you’ll need to use veg tan Wallets and smaller more delicate goods like that, I usually use like a 3 to 5. Sheaths and holsters around an 8oz. Bags and and cases and such 8-12 oz and I try to use 12 oz for tooling but you can get decent depth out of 8 oz if you need to. I think that’s kinda what I tend to use most of the time.
I enjoy your way of teaching, i apprentice with an old saddle maker , he does a great job, but for the finer details i learn from you... Thankyou for taking the time to teach!👍
I bought a slim leather wallet online that had lazy pockets. One of the reasons I'm getting into leather working - to make a proper wallet. Anything worth doing is worth doing right!
Your next video, making a lazy pocket wallet (with the fabric on the inside) :D
i am about to make that overlap pocket for the first time using the weaver pattern and this was wonderful timing thank you for demistifying what goes where and why!!! Great informative style to the video too!
Lazy pockets should be accompanied with a thin tyvek ribbon to create the actual pocket and not just a cut in the leather.
had no clue anyone would do the lazy pocket without the interior work to make them functional. that is pretty crazy
I know right!
Can you make a video creating a tech/cable organizer/pouch?
lazy pockets are fine if you sew them with individual tyvek or nylon sleeve like you mentioned
yep! problem is if you don't...well...yea haha
I see this was done last year and the link to free overlap pocket pattern no longer works.
With the great way you shared how to create this project I will just make my own. Thanks for a well done tutorial!
That skiving knife is awesome. Can you do a video to show how to get one that sharp? Incredible!!!!!! Is that a Weaver knife?
it is! We have a video on skiving if you'd like to check it out :)
@@Corter Yes. I have seen that one. Good info on skiving, but not sharpening. What I would really like to see is a detailed how-to on the sharpening aspect. That knife looks so sharp that the leather just falls off. That is what I would like to get on my knife, as yet very unsuccessfully. Thanks again for all your videos.
@@madcat1007 Search RUclips for 'how to sharpen a Japanese leather knife' and 'how to use a Japanese leather knife'; there are several videos. You can use a Japanese leather knife for cutting as well as skiving
Great ! Thank's and good luck !
This really made me miss Blockbuster lol
ughhhhhh us too!
awesome video..thank you..... I especially love that you have a BLOCK BUSTER card !
I'm ready to rock & roll, lets go Corter 😀
Check out makers supply videos. He does the “lazy pocket” and puts a tyvek liner behind it that eliminates the possibility of the card sliding out of sight.
Waw❤
Thank you so much!!!!
You made that all look easy. I'm like a kindergartener with glue and construction paper mess
An excellent video, very informative 😊. Have a nice weekend
Unfortunately I couldn't find the free pattern anywhere.
Another great video! Although I was getting excited when I thought I was going to see you actually make the card slots with the nylon backing and discuss gluing vs sewing the nylon in. I know a lot of people just glue it which gives a clean look but can't imagine that holds up over time.
It doesn't. Source: I have a wallet like that.
Wow thanks for your explain
The skiving leather is the most important technique
Lol blockbuster cards geez
What are the demsions for a T pocket ?
What free pattern? 🥲
How do you repair the lazy pocket version if the glued insert for the pocket comes out? Normally I wouldn't worry but the wallet has sentimental value.
🥰 Gracias 💞💓🤩🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I had a LV wallet for nearly 4 years, and it had lazy pockets lined with material! also after a year or so it started to flake off the outside layer revealing a stitched synthetic backer for a cheap leather look alike material! I was really bummed that $495 got me a bunch of fake material, lazy pockets and no real durability for EDC. If your going to spend big, make sure it is real leather!! Thank you for this video man, I know its a few years old. I've been watching you for years now and finally got into the craft as a side job! It's been an amazing journey!!
I had to watch a couple times to understand what you meant by "splitting a seam" with the T-pockets. I kept thinking there was something to do horizontally with the final assembly and made it way too complicated. When I stopped the video at 13:57, you are pointing RIGHT AT the issue. Doh! I guess you need to base your T height on the pricking irons you are using to prevent that or do you just place the iron in such a way that you are good to go? Thanks for the great video! I really appreciate your efforts to educate and inspire!
I appreciate the videos as I'm starting leatherworking, but as a professional woodworker you dull the edge of your tools when having them slide across or hit that granite/marble base.
About your lazy pockets, you mentioned that you could put a piece of nylon on the back of the panel which would make each slit a proper pocket. Without that, the panel would just be a card trap. To each his own, right?
Hope you strop your edges after sharpening, and during use. Makes a world of difference with how useful my head knife is!
I've been watching your videos and at same time learning how to make wallet through your channel and I think am ready to start my journey with your little guidance; very much appreciated.
Please I want you to assist me with the selection of tools as fresh starter, i mean the basic tools for wallet.
You should make a video making two wallets, one with cutting the bulk down and one leaving it as is with a thin leather.
Great video! This video answered a lot of questions I had about making pockets for wallets. But once he pulled out those Blockbuster cards I lost it! Lol!
No se necesita hablar todo el video, la verdad, buen trabajo pero aburre el estar hablando permanentemente, tuve qu bar el volumen, de lo contrario no lo veía
Very very helpful and informative video. Beats the pants off of build videos things without any narration.
To echo others thank you. The information you provide is wonderful for we newbis
It is not a perfect project but your instructions are. Thank you!
Not related to the pockets, but what needle brand and size do you use?
yoooo...was that a Blockbuster card🤣
Is that a stone slab that you are working on
Great video with detailed explanation, thank you Corter
This is fantastic information, just what I was looking for. Thank you!

I tried to make your bifold wallet, but I dyed the leather using Tandy oil dye, and even with really deep scoring of the glued surfaces the contact glue has very hard time holding the leather together. After I sew the seams, it still easily splits on the edges that would be burnished and doesn´t last any normal wear. Is there some kind of glue that would not be do useless in combination with the oil soaked leather?
Would maybe dyeing the leather far in advance before using it help, like a month?
what sort of glue did you use? and did you coat the leather with anything after the dye? I'd usually recommend barge or some sort of contact adhesive, but if you're oiling/coating the leather with something after you dye it you might be sealing it off too much for any sort of glue to stick, that's all I can think of. Dye doesn't usuall affect a contact cement as you're describing in my experience
Sublime !!!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹
OLD LEATHER SMITH here, very nice Eric, I sometimes make card pockets ahead of time in different colors 4 wallets, GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
Im always nervous when God is involved
Mitico N1

@@Corter alright brother
Excelente! Obrigado pela explicação e demonstrações!
