how much would the 3rd wallet [on horsehide] cost? i, particularly, don't like thick wallets [hence the horsehide leather] .... zippered [coin] pocket has to go, as well. tho' your ****-type card holder is much cleaner [and prolly less bulkier] than the overlapping ones in my photo. some nice contrast leather or fabric [prints or solids] lining would be great to jazz it up a bit

i wear my wallet on the left backpocket, so i flipped the image.

Thanks, guys. It's pretty much perfect for the 4-5 cards I carry on a daily basis. KBW- that could be arranged
