The best leather for making wallets. I’ll add a clarification – handmade wallets. Factory production varies slightly. I think the most popular answers are cowhide, crocodile leather, Shell Cordovan, goatskin. What other options are there?
I used my first cordovan leather bifold wallet for over five years until I lost it! 😢 It was an Ashland Leather wallet made of Horween shell cordovan #8. I feel like this is a ‘forever’ material — a wallet like this will last a decade or more!
I make wallets from Shell Cordovan. However, if there are many compartments in the wallet and there is a coin box, then goat leather is better. Goat leather is thin and very durable, the wallet will be compact.
