GIVING A WHOLE NEW MEANING TO "BIKER WALLET"

This is one beast of a wallet. As usual, whenever I handcraft a leather wallet, I tend to dream big. And big is what this wallet is - I could be wrong, but it seriously feels like it weighs close to a pound...without my cards, coins, money, etc.

I really wanted this to look like a real Engineer Boot shaft, so I took ideas from a few of my boots.  I had endless ideas for the "innards," but I decided to keep it fairly simple - 5+1 card slots, two large bill/mandatory large military type cards and a generous coin pocket.

Triple stitched backstay

Made with 4/5 ounce vegetable tanned cowhide and pigskin lining/gussets.

The outer card slot was a must, especially when ones military ID is required when traveling from base to base, entering the PX/BX and accessing my office computer 

Fully functional upper strap using a custom Okuyama roller buckle. 

A coin pocket is must for my ¥. 

I really like the way it looks like I have an Engineer Boot sticking out of my back pocket with a functional D ring in case I want to add a custom leather lanyard.  I may add some studs to the "upper strap" for a better visual effect.
