Somewhere along the way I've lost my wallet and while one option is to replace it with what I had it's also a good time to look at options.
It was a Tumi Alpha Slimfold ID which for my needs was ideal. Goldilocks size at 9cm x 10.5cm (3.5" x 4.1"), eight card slots (five x primary, two x deep/wide (one at back of each side), one x ID) and a deepish notes pocket that could take one set of unfolded notes in the vertical or two sets of folded notes (i.e. one in each half) in the horizontal position. Durable material that survived multiple trips through the washing machine.
No particular loyalty to brand or country of origin.
What its replacing.....
Suggestions?

- similar size
- front pocket carry majority of the time, occasionally in suit breast pocket
- eight card slots max
- pass/ID window is nice but not necessary
- real leather (preferred) or ballistic nylon (nothing pretending to be leather)
- cow or some other mammalian leather (shark skin is so 1985)
- matte smooth or pebbled finish
- coin purse (never understood the need for a wallet to have a space for coins, defeats the attempt to be flat/skinny
No particular loyalty to brand or country of origin.
