About 10 years ago I went from George Castanza fat wallet to a slim wallet. 4 cards, 3 paper copies of insurance stuff, and cash (less cash these days). I will never go back to fat wallet, and I recommend Serman Brands. Or others like it. I bought for maybe $16, now it looks like it’s $25. It’s still like new, probably because it doesn’t get abused like fat wallets used to.

I had an RFID anti-reader safe one, but my key card didn’t work thru it lol so I ended up getting a non RFID safety model.

Less stuff is better :) cheers.

Aspinal of London is great. Mine is a decade old now and has held up excellent.

Bellroy! So many great options and not crazy pricey

Had mine for a few years and it just looks more distinguished now than when I got it. Highly recommend

Filson makes some pretty solid wallets; mine is probably 10 yrs old and in very good shape yet.

I've had the predecessor to THIS Duluth wallet for a number of years, and if wear continues as-is I may not ever have to buy another wallet.

Good leather, great stitching and durable as hell.

Depends on which kind of wallet you’d like. Also, I go with a local leather brand

I can't personally speak to the longevity of this wallet, on account of I just got mine, but I have Houbei 2.0 wallet from Open Sea Leather and is very high quality, slim (I front pocket carry), and has more than enough room for my cards and cash

Threesonsleather on instagram for a cool handmade EDC type wallet, Salazarandsons for a more classic style leather bifold.

Saddleback is the longest lasting / toughest but it’s a bit chunky. And I’ve tried a lot of wallets.

If you want something different, I have a wallet from Harvey’s California The original seatbelt bag. Pretty nice quality, and got it Star Wars themed. 2 years in so far, and still looks new.

Ashland Leather, in shell cordovan. It won’t crease and light scratches can be rubbed away. Expensive but it will last nearly forever. In fact I think it would last literally forever unless set afire.

I bought one over 5 years ago and it’s been bulletproof.

If you sign up for their emails you’ll get notified about flash sales, where stuff sells out super quick.

Find someone to make you one with the leather you like. I had a guy custom made me a dark green shell cordovan wallet + card holder and it's amazing.

I stopped using a wallet years ago. I.D., CC, wrap a few bills folded in half around in then put a rubber band around. Stays in my front pocket.

For me absolutely no need for a wallet. I really don't like the feel of anything in my pockets but lack of an actual wallet feels great, I could never go back.

I bought a Hurley International passecase wallet made out of canvas and leather sometime after enlisting, so early 2000s and it was still in pristine condition up until a couple years ago when it was stolen. I really miss that thing. From the waters of Hawaii and Alaska to Pensacola and various washing machines, it took a lot of abuse. I often forgot to take it out of my pocket and it never cared.

Losing a wallet you carried forever is impossible to replace. I feel for you.

Replying to DaveyPhotoGuy (#1,029,311)

One more vote for SBL. My wife and I own numerous products from 2009 until present. The warranty is completely legit too. First wallet got salt water on it, which didn’t hurt the wallet at all. But the salt embedded in it made it start messing up the mag strips on my cards. Called to ask how to clean the salt out, and they said “What’s your new address?” No questions asked they sent me a new wallet and told me to feel free to keep the salty one too. I also have a large briefcase from 2010 that has been used like mad and still looks awesome. Wife has a tote and the large travel wallet. We also have a few smaller items. All of it is perfect and completely BIFL worthy

If you don't carry cash I love my decent minimalist (if you do they have a money clip too)

Distil Union out of Charleston makes fantastic wallets. Bought a minimalist wallet from them five years ago and it still looks brand new despite daily use. This thing will truly last the rest of my life.

My Arieat wallet is pushing 10, it's the first one that did not start to pop stitches.
