3-Pocket Bi-Fold Wallet Acrylic Template Set

Create a clean, compact leather bifold with a distinctive three-pocket interior using a durable acrylic template set designed for accurate cutting, alignment, and repeatable production.

The Morgan 3-Pocket Bi-Fold Wallet Acrylic Template Set provides the three primary pattern pieces needed to recreate Odin Leather Goods’ Euro-style Morgan Wallet.

The finished design offers a simplified alternative to a traditional multi-pocket billfold. Its compact layout keeps the construction approachable while providing practical organization for cards and folded currency.

Use the templates with a pencil, pen, scratch awl, or other leather-marking tool to transfer each component onto the leather. The rigid acrylic edges may also be carefully used alongside sharp leather knives and other appropriate cutting tools.

What’s Included

This three-piece acrylic template set includes the primary components needed to construct the Morgan Wallet.

Relevant information is permanently laser-engraved directly onto the acrylic where applicable, including:

• Pattern-piece identification
• Piece orientation
• Pocket-alignment references
• Stitching guides
• Hole-punch locations and sizes
• Fold locations
• Skiving guidance
• Assembly notes

Review all engraved markings before cutting, punching, skiving, gluing, stitching, or assembling the wallet.

Euro-Style Three-Pocket Design

The Morgan Wallet uses a streamlined three-pocket layout that offers a clean, practical approach to everyday carry.

The design is well suited for customers who prefer:

• A compact folding wallet
• A simplified interior
• Dedicated organization for essential cards
• Room for folded currency
• Less bulk than a traditional full-size billfold
• A distinctive alternative to a standard card wallet

The final carrying capacity will depend on the leather thickness, construction method, pocket arrangement, and how fully the finished wallet has broken in.

Hand Stitch or Machine Sew

The wallet can be constructed using either:

• Traditional hand saddle stitching
• A leather-capable sewing machine

Choose the method that best fits your tools, experience, production needs, and desired finished appearance.

When machine sewing, consider:

• Presser-foot clearance
• Needle and thread size
• The combined thickness of overlapping layers
• Clearance near folded areas
• The order in which the pockets must be assembled

When hand stitching, select a stitch spacing, thread size, needle combination, and hole style appropriate for the leather being used.

Choosing Your Leather

Compact bifold wallets are generally best made from relatively thin, firm leather to reduce bulk where the body and pockets overlap.

Suitable options may include:

• Vegetable-tanned leather
• Kangaroo leather
• Calfskin
• Goat leather
• Thin English bridle leather
• Thin harness leather
• Firm chrome-tanned leather
• A combination of exterior and interior leathers

When selecting materials, consider:

• The total thickness created by stacked components
• The firmness and temper of the leather
• Whether the wallet will be lined
• Whether the edges will be burnished, painted, folded, or left natural
• Whether the wallet will be hand stitched or machine sewn
• How quickly the wallet should soften and break in
• The amount of structure desired in the finished piece

A slightly heavier exterior can be paired with thinner interior leather to provide structure without creating excessive bulk.

Test your selected leather combination and construction method before beginning small-batch production.

Plan the Pocket Assembly

Accurate pocket alignment is important to producing a wallet that folds evenly and maintains a balanced finished profile.

Before permanently assembling the wallet:

1. Transfer all alignment, stitching, fold, and skiving references.
2. Confirm the orientation of each pattern piece.
3. Dry-stack the components in their intended order.
4. Check that all pocket openings remain accessible.
5. Confirm that the wallet folds without excessive resistance.
6. Skive overlapping areas where indicated or necessary.
7. Glue and stitch the pieces in the correct sequence.

Small alignment errors can become more noticeable as the layers are assembled, so review the engraved template markings carefully before construction.

Make the Design Your Own

The clean three-pocket format provides room for customization through:

• Contrasting exterior and interior leathers
• Decorative hand stitching
• Names, initials, or monograms
• Maker’s marks
• Ranch or family brands
• Laser engraving
• Hand stamping
• Tooled exterior panels
• Custom pocket profiles
• Painted or burnished edges
• Decorative creasing
• Contrasting thread colors

The template establishes the essential proportions and component alignment while leaving the final leather, stitching, decoration, and edge treatment to the maker.

Designed for Repeatable Results

The rigid acrylic templates help you:

• Maintain consistent body and pocket shapes
• Position the interior components accurately
• Transfer stitch, fold, and skiving references
• Arrange the pattern pieces efficiently on the hide
• See grain, scars, color variation, and surface character beneath the tinted acrylic
• Avoid undesirable areas before cutting
• Reduce repeated measuring and pattern redrawing
• Reproduce the wallet for gifts, customer orders, or small-batch production

Built for Daily Workshop Use

Each Odin Leather Goods acrylic template is:

• Laser-cut from durable 1/8-inch tinted cast acrylic
• Built for frequent use in hobby and production workshops
• Transparent enough to see the leather beneath the template
• Suitable for use with pencils, pens, scratch awls, and other leather-marking tools
• Durable enough to carefully use alongside sharp leatherworking knives and cutting tools
• Permanently engraved with relevant notes and construction markings
• Designed and made in Texas by working leathercrafters

Unlike paper or cardstock patterns, the rigid acrylic will not easily bend, distort, tear, or wear out through repeated use.

Acrylic Color

Due to changing material availability and supply lines, your template may be made from green-, blue-, or orange-tinted acrylic. Acrylic color is not selectable and may vary from the product photographs.

The color does not affect the template’s dimensions, durability, markings, or functionality.

Important Notes

This listing is for the three-piece acrylic template set only. Leather, lining, thread, needles, adhesives, tools, cards, currency, finished wallets, and other supplies are not included.

A supporting build video is not currently available.

The acrylic may arrive with a removable protective film on one or both sides. Remove the film before using the templates.

Finished dimensions and carrying capacity may vary according to the leather thickness, pocket alignment, stitch placement, edge treatment, and construction method selected by the maker.
