Skilled Leatherworker for EDC Wallet

Posted 4 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

Overview: I'm a wallet designer prototyping a custom minimlaist EDC wallet with a CNC-machined aluminum frame that has a leather attachment for added carry. The leather component integrates with the metal frame and provides extra pockets without extra bulk — the leather attachment needs to be designed to be precise, clean, and well-finished. The entire contruction aluminum + leather is under 14mm thick. I'm looking for an experienced leatherworker to produce a prototype design so I can test fit, feel, and finish options before moving toward production. I'll provide a dimensioned drawing (or STEP file) of the aluminum frame with callouts for leather attachment points, fold lines, and required clearances. You'll be crafting the leather shell/wrap to match. Specifications: Leather:approx. 0.6mm - 1mm (I'm open to your recommendation) Edge construction: turned/folded edges — no exposed raw edges (going for longevity) Fold lines to be skived for clean, flat folds Looking for: Experience with precision leatherwork — wallets, watch straps, knife sheaths, or similar fitted items. Comfortable working from technical drawings / CAD dimensions Able to work with very thin leather and tight tolerances Portfolio showing clean edge work and fine stitching
