Great genuine leather wallet
Color: Embossed Leather - Tan, Color: Embossed Leather - Tan
Having experienced card damage from a Ridge wallet and similar ejector-type wallets, I began an extensive search for a more conventional wallet. This wallet is great! Genuine leather, looks good, priced right and holds all my cards plus cash. Best of all, it doesn't ruin the cards. It's very nice that the ID portion is removable, letting you carry a much smaller wallet with just your ID and another singular card.

Love the attached money clip.
Color: Leather Logo - Brown w/ Money Clip
My husband liked this wallet for the money clip attached. He doesn't like the wallets that have the wire money clip that runs up the center in the fold of the wallet. This is more convenient. The quality appears to be good. It appears a bit smaller than a traditional men's wallet though.

stitching
Color: Top Stitch Leather - Tan
Nice looking wallet overall and nice quality. Unfortunately the stitching on the inside of the wallet was slanted and that causes my card to stick out. Besides that i’m happy with my purchase. (you can get a better wallet for the same cost elsewhere)
