I have recently made a few leather fly wallets and I was asked how much I should charge for them. I would like to find out how much I should sell them for. If anyone can let me know what you think that would help. Thanks

The leather is a nice Kodiak oil tanned leather as well as the lacing. And I also used a bark tanned shearling.

Have trouble uploading pics of them.

Production shops get discounts for buying in bulk quantity..if leather or wood or,...
They also purchase or make equipment to speed up the manufacturing time.
Making a few of any product alows for handcrafted quality up to your abilities.

I have made custom fly tying benches, and portable units..one lady looked at the portable fly tying station and asked how much ? When I told her she said she thought that $200 was a fair price..I told her. .there is more than $200 in handles, hinges, magnets..hardware from Lee Valley tools..plus tiger maple, walnut plus shop supplies..stsin, sealer, sandpaper.
Plus my time...
On some of my projects I took the cost of supplies and doubled it..that was my working wages..small output shops seem to be a hobby..not as much coming in as time and materials would suggest..
Looking forward to seeing photos..
Cheers
