Most people underestimate how much technique goes into a clean saddle stitch. It’s not just running thread through holes — it’s rhythm, tension control, and consistency on every pass. This wallet is stitched by hand using the traditional saddle stitch, which is still the strongest stitch in leathercraft. Two needles, one thread, locked through the leather from both sides… meaning if one side ever fails, the other side still holds. Machine stitches can’t compete with that. I’m using Vinymo MBT 0.
