Sorry for the links but a few of the sites i can't grab the image. Which wallet should I get? Colour isn't really an issue, but I'm interested on your thoughts about design and quality. 1) Launer bridle hide, £127

2) Ettinger bridle hide, £135

3) Swaine Adeney Brigg, bridle £155

All appear to be very nice wallets.

I prefer the open end of the "flap" on the left side of the Launer; I believe it makes bills more accessible. Even though it is doubtful you plan to use it as a checkbook, my guess is that model is made that way for writing checks with carbonless duplicate paper.

Forget wallets. Get yourself a nice money clip.

I like the second one. But all of them are too big for my taste.

Well, I wear a sportcoat every day so I'd like it to go in my breast pocket.

The Brigg. Although, I personally prefer something sleek such as a credit card case.

I wish I could see them in person. They are all a very similar design but I bet one is better-finished than the others

That's the annoying thing. The only shop that is in London is SAB, (with Ettinger being stocked in Fortnum & Mason), and I don't know any shops that sell Launer.

I think the first one looks the nicest - and has the advantage of being the cheapest too.
