I need to get a new wallet for myself and I've always liked Paul Smith's wallet designs. I'm down to these three, and by looking at the pictures, they all look good. First two are very similar and I really like the inside, but only concern is that I never had a vertical (?) type of wallet before and don't know if it's little uncomfortable than horizontal type.
BTW, anyone has experience with bloomburystore.com? They're located in UK. Are those made in Italy? I know eLuxury ones are from Italy, but not sure about other two.

Sitting on a wallet is going to uncomfortable no matter what. If you wear slimmer-fitting jeans, putting a wallet in your front pocket is also problematic.

I have a Paul Smith card holder; it's thinner than the models you are looking at. I love it. If you're worried about comfort, you may want to consider that. (But then again, if you're going to carry lots of stuff in your wallet, this advice of course goes out the window.)

I find the wallet very annoying sometimes if I wear slim jeans, but I can't just avoid it. I usually carry money clip with one credit card if I really need to.

I have the PS multi-stripe bilfold wallet and wear it in the back pocket of my 19cm w/o any problems. It's well built and fairly slim. Just don't over stuff it and you'll be fine.

That is my favorite PS wallet as well. Have you seen it?

Of the three you listed, I like either one or two but not three.
