Received a Saddleback Leather ID Wallet ($49) at Christmas more than 10 years ago. Just getting better with age. It helped minimize carry to a drivers license, debit card, credit card and cash. All other cards relegated to work backpack.

I'd have a hard time carrying a metal wallet, unless I carried a purse .. maybe I'm just too old fashioned, but seems like it would be inflexible with its load, cause excess wear on the pants' pocket, and make a hell of a noise when run through the washer ..
I've had a North Star Leather wallet that I've used every day for about 10 years now. It's still in good shape and it'll probably go for another ten while still looking pretty reasonable. It's hand-made in the USA, from reasonable quality leather. I paid just under 21 dollars for it, but that was at least ten years ago. Looking at their website, it appears they've upgraded the leather quality and are charging a little over 30 bucks for the same "small bifold" wallet now. I'd probably buy another one if I needed it. Although, I might spring for the Horween leather, this time.
I'm sure it's not as nice as the Ashland wallets. The Ashland Johnny the Fox wallets look quite purposely made and appear to be very high quality.

For me, it’s the Mitchell Leather Money Clip Wallet. I’m on my second, and have no interest at looking at anything else.

What happens when it’s in your back pocket and you sit down?
Have not carried a wallet in the back pocket for years. My spine appreciates it.
I carry a small card case in one front pocket and a money clip in the other. Keeps things smooth. While the card cases have lasted between five and ten years each, the money clip (sterling, from Tiffany) will likely outlast me (not that it has much to carry).
The latest case is a cheapo from Access. Green, carbon fiber patterned leather with an ID window and thumb slot (very handy). Seems to be holding up just fine after two years.
A case I would never buy again came from Bottega Veneta. Beautiful, but barely made it through two years.

After I was pickpocketed on the Rome Metro and lost my red leather Flortntine wallet, I've used a Tyvek wallet. It has pretty much collapsed into a shapeless heap, so I bought a Thread Legacy:

It is tiny, really minute. I added on a vinyl card-holder, , and it now holds 12 cards and some few folded bank-notes. I love the look and feel - suede and woven bright fabric - but the thing is tiny, and will need some getting used to.
Legacy
What will your 'Legacy' be? Get moving, start trying. Carry on... Conveniently carry your essentials with the Thread Wallets® bifold. Designed to keep your cards and cash secure without sacrificing style, it is as functional as it is expressive.

Looks like a nice wallet. I carry something even smaller: a card case, and keep my cash in a separate money clip. Very reassuring to know that both are in one's front pockets.After I was pickpocketed on the Rome Metro and lost my red leather Flortntine wallet, I've used a Tyvek wallet.

Well my tyvek made wallet barely lasted 6 months this time. Don't know if the company changed how they are made or what. Found a great yt channel for wallets lol. Walettopia, ordered an Akeeni brand XSTO wallet. Metal and small to try out. Almost tried Trayvex because I like their belt buckle so much but the xsto seems to get really good reviews.

Bleu de Chauffe, very nice and quite expensive.
Same brand as your bag, no? Elegant, quality leather goods, indeed.

Your right Bill, I do like Bleu de Chauffe we have quite a few pieces from prior to my retirement. I love the quality and the way they make their goods. Ah a thing of the past.
i have long used small card type wallets. For the last five years or so it has been a Smathers & Branson with a needlepointed Texas flag.
Anyone try this one: Arcdry San Francisco - https://arcdry.com/ ? I keep getting their ads on IG and FB.

I got the Open Seas Leather Topsider Billfold and have never looked back. The best wallet, by a very large margin, that I have ever used.

is my go to. The one on the left made it 5 years with only a better patina before a puppy grabbed it. I tried a Rigid knockoff for a few days waiting on the one on the right to get here, and I wasn’t impressed. Cards in and out was harder and longer and the hard sides and corners were much more noticeable. Moved the money clip over to the new one and I’m back in business.
