Good wallets

[Geoff Gander]

My old wallet, after 10 years of hard service, is falling apart. I'm in the market for a decent leather wallet that will take lots of abuse, but still look tasteful. Any suggested brands?

Coach - water buffalo leather.

I am on my second Tumi wallet, and the only reason I am is the first one was just a card case. It's still in great shape.

I don't know about the durability, but I've fallen in love with a Valextra breast wallet.

+1. Admittedly, I treat a wallet as not much more than storage, but the coach I've been using for four years suits me just fine.

I have an Etro wallet that I love. Not sure about durability as it either lives in my briefcase or coat pocket, and lives a relatively pampered life.

I have a few Bosca Old Leather series wallets that have lasted for years.

I use Valextra mostly for wallets, and they last longer than their minimalist construction implies. My Valextra breast pocket wallet is twelve+ years old and still looks brand new, but then it leads a sheltered life compared to a hip pocket wallet.

Mont Blanc. I've had mine for 10 years (carried in hip pocket) and even after being in the washing machine (once) there is at least another 10 years left in it.

Prada saffiano leather. Looks good and it's taken 2 years of in and out like a champ.

I'd steer clear of fabric wallets like some of the Gucci. Mine fell apart quickly.

My grandfather gave me a gucci fabric wallet, which he had for probily 15 years and its still in great condition.

The Howard Yount ones look pretty nice and good value
